After it was illegally brought from Turkey to Israel to be sold in the auction house in the United States belonging to the 1700 year old Anatolia, the statue of the ‘mother goddess’ of Cybele, was once again some 60 years later to Turkey. Researcher, writer and field guide Hasan Özpınar explained how the ‘Kybele Statue, which is on display in Istanbul and will be brought to Afyonkarahisar, was seized from the city. Saying that the statue was found by the villagers, Özpınar said that a famous collector also came to Afyonkarahisar at that time. Özpınar spoke as follows:
The sculptures were made in the Phrygian period and later in the Roman period, and during an excavation of a road made by chance near the village of Çavdarlı in 1964, the remains of artifacts from the Roman period were found, and of course these They made a big noise in that period, and then again a team from the Ankara museum left behind with a 15-day excavation. the remaining work is also revealed. the resulting jobs seduce historic smugglers. In those days again, a well-known historical artifact collector from Turkey and Afyonkarahisar says. Eco-villages around, and unfortunately, his works reveal the illegal excavation of citizens in the village of Rye in which he circulates AND it is known that he sold these works to foreigners at that time. There is a lot of data both in our state records, in police records, in museum records. This artifact was first smuggled into Israel and then nobody knew it was kidnapped. ”

‘IMPOSSIBLE TO MEASURE THE VALUE OF ITEMS’

Our Ministry of Culture and Tourism is this again. ” The work brought to the country is also temporarily on display at the Istanbul Archeology Museum, and I hope I have received the news that when the new museum building in Afyonkarahisar is completed, we are happy to hear that it will be exhibited here. It is impossible to evaluate these historical artifacts. “It has a history of close to a year and is known to have been built in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD. It is impossible to measure such cultural assets with material value,” he said.
