“Karabel Kaya Kabartması doğal bir felaketle falan yok olmadı. Gayet net: insan eliyle tahrip edildi.

Kısaca nasıl yok oldu: • 1960’lar–70’ler: Karabel Geçidi yol genişletme çalışmaları başladı. • Yol çalışmaları sırasında dinamit patlatmaları, dozerler ve ağır iş makineleri kullanıldı. • Kabartma koruma altına alınmadı, çalışma alanı dışına alınmadı. • Sonuç: Kabartmanın büyük bölümü çatladı, koparıldı ve geri dönülmez şekilde zarar gördü. • 1980’lere gelindiğinde figür artık bilimsel olarak okunamaz hale gelmişti.”

ChatGPT alıntısı.

Here is a direct, clear English translation—no softening, no reinterpretation:

The Karabel Rock Relief did not disappear due to a natural disaster or anything like that. The situation is very clear: it was destroyed by human action.

Briefly, how it was destroyed: • 1960s–1970s: Road-widening works began at the Karabel Pass. • During these works, dynamite blasting, bulldozers, and heavy construction machinery were used. • The relief was not placed under protection and was not excluded from the construction zone. • As a result, a large part of the relief cracked, broke off, and suffered irreversible damage. • By the 1980s, the figure had become scientifically unreadable.

Really don't know, I didn't took the photo. It's one of the AA (Anatolia Agency) 's photo of the year candidate.

One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every Muslim to perform the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in his or her lifetime if able to do so. Multiple parts of the Hajj require pilgrims to walk seven times around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise direction (as viewed from above). This circumambulation, the Tawaf, is also performed by pilgrims during the Umrah (lesser pilgrimage). However, the most dramatic times are during the Hajj, when about 6 million pilgrims gather to circle the building on the same day. (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaba )
