Yeniyer (2,094 inhabitants in 2020), located 25 km east of Sorgun, was
established on 11 April 2013 as the merger of the former municipalities of
Karakız and Ahmetfakılı, established on 29 December 1998, whose population has
fallen below 2,000. Karakız was renamed to Yeniyer, while Ahmetfakılı became a
borough of the new municipality.
The logo features the Hittite lions
found in Yeniyer.
Archaeologists have been working to solve the mystery
of five-ton lion sculptures recently found in a field in Sorgun, a town located
in the Central Anatolian province of Yozgat.
Two researchers employed by the
Culture and Tourism Ministry have made preliminary searches in Sorgun’s Yeniyer
neighborhood, where they say a field served as a sculpture atelier in the
Hittite era. Now it is expected that the field will turn into an open air park
museum, shedding light on a period of Turkey’s ancient history.
Yeniyer Mayor
Osman Yilmaz stated, “It is not exactly known why these lion sculptures were
created. It is estimated that they were made between 1,400 and 1,200 B.C. during
the era when the Hittites ruled Anatolia. … The top part of their head is a bit
higher than their neck. It is thought that these sculptures were dedicated to a
holy water source.”
Large rocks in a stone pit, the biggest of which is
in two-meter diameter, have also been found in the field, further complicating
the mystery.
Commenting on the sculpture’s possible purpose, Yılmaz said,
“Research done around Karakız [a Yeniyer neighborhood] show that the region was
a Hittite settlement when these sculptures were created. On the other hand, due
to the gigantic size of the lions, it was not much possible to make them in
another place and move them here.”
