A while ago, we made a website on the prehistoric rock paintings of the Latmos Mountains in Western Turkey. The website was entirely in German and English. As the project is a German-Turkish cooperation, translating the website into Turkish was the right thing to do. With the help of Pınar Atılgan, we finally added the third […]
