Its story

Domuztepe was a settlement directly opposite Karatepe, on the other bank of the river, controlling the crossing. The statue of the storm god on a bull base found in excavations is now displayed in the Karatepe museum area. Together with Karatepe, the settlement formed a defensive whole controlling the Ceyhan crossing. Part of the site is now on the shore of the reservoir.
