- Abstract
Eight thousand-year-old endangered rock-painted drawings in the Sacred Latmos (Besparmak) mountains hosting Herakleia Ancient City, Turkey and mystical story of Selene and Endymion In prehistoric times, the Latmos Mountains was a sacred mountain in Anatolia, and the ancient Anatolian weather god was worshiped together with a local mountain god upon its peak because it was accepted as the centre of weather and fertility rituals (http://www.rupestre.net/tracce/?p=9840). Today, the Besparmak (Latmos) Mountains is where the moon shines most beautifully, and Bafa Lake is indeed a silver tray under the moonlight because Moon Goddess Selene pours her most beautiful lights here in the brightest way to see her handsome shepherd Endymion.
