A researcher says he has deciphered an ancient, heavily damaged inscription carved on a 2,600-year-old monument in Turkey.
The monument, which is engraved with images of lions and sphinxes, is known as Arslan Kaya (also spelled Aslan Kaya), which means "lion rock" in Turkish. The inscription spells out the name "Materan," a goddess of the Phrygians, who flourished in what is now Turkey from roughly 1200 to 600 B.C. They knew her "simply as the Mother," Mark Munn, a professor of ancient Greek history and archaeology at Pennsylvania State University who wrote a paper about the inscription, told Live Science in an email...
The monument is heavily damaged from weathering and looters, making the inscription extremely hard to read. What it says has been a source of debate since the 19th century, Munn noted in the paper. To solve the mystery, Munn photographed the inscription in detail when the light was good and reexamined older photographs and records of the inscription.
"Much depends upon the favorability of the light when photographs are taken," Munn wrote in the article, noting that the light was particularly good on the morning of April 25, 2024.
It makes sense that the monument would bear Materan's name, as it also contains an image of the goddess, Munn said. Materan's name would likely have been part of a larger inscription that explained who commissioned the inscription and who Materan was.

Mother in Heaven. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that all human beings, male and female, are beloved spirit children of heavenly parents, a Heavenly Father and a Heavenly Mother. This understanding is rooted in scriptural and prophetic teachings about the nature of God, our relationship to Deity, and the godly potential of men and women.1 The doctrine of a Heavenly Mother is a cherished and distinctive belief among Latter-day Saints.2 - https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics-essays/mother-in-heaven?lang=eng
A mother goddess is a major goddess characterized as a mother or progenitor, either as an embodiment of motherhood and fertility or fulfilling the cosmological role of a creator- and/or destroyer-figure, typically associated the Earth, sky, and/or the life-giving bounties thereof in a maternal relation with humanity or other gods. When equated in this lattermost function with the earth or the natural world, such goddesses are sometimes referred to as the Mother Earth or Earth Mother, deity in various animistic or pantheistic religions. [citation needed] The earth goddess is archetypally the wife or feminine counterpart of the Sky Father or Father Heaven, particularly in theologies derived from the Proto-Indo-European sphere (i.e. from Dheghom and Dyeus). In some polytheistic cultures, such as the Ancient Egyptian religion which narrates the cosmic egg myth, the sky is instead seen as the Heavenly Mother or Sky Mother as in Nut and Hathor, and the earth god is regarded as the male, paternal, and terrestrial partner, as in Osiris or Geb who hatched out of the maternal cosmic egg.

Notice the configuration of the fingers of the right hand that is touching the lion’s head? It appears it is a signal of some sort as only 2 fingers are actually touching the head. It seems to resemble the modern day ASL hand signal for “i love you” ?
There’s a lot of that mother worship going around.
The Lady started appearing to him after a traumatizing UFO encounter in 2007 during a fishing trip along North Carolina's Cape Fear River. Bledsoe and his companions experienced a life-altering UFO encounter that included several hours of missing time. This event left all involved deeply shaken and was the beginning of regular appearances of orbs and shadow beings at his rural home. Most notable of the follow-on experiences was the appearance of an apparition he calls "The Lady."
Encounters with "The Lady"
During this initial experience with this apparition, Bledsoe witnessed a portal opening, from which a giant bull appeared to charge out before "The Lady" emerged. This marked the beginning of ongoing interactions, which Bledsoe believes carry profound spiritual significance.
Bledsoe sees "The Lady" as an angelic figure who has chosen him to announce the rise of the Divine Feminine, a message he considers essential for humanity’s spiritual evolution. While he interprets her as a messenger of divine hope and renewal, others have speculated she may be connected to ancient goddesses of mythology, adding a layer of mystery to her identity. Bledsoe explores these encounters and their impact on his life in his book, UFO of God (a huge seller—check out the reviews at link), intertwining themes of faith, transformation, and the search for meaning.
Broader Influence
Bledsoe’s story has attracted the attention not only of the public and researchers but also of government agencies, including the CIA, NASA, and the FBI, who have shown interest in his experiences. He has linked his encounters with "The Lady" to broader historical events, such as the apparitions at Fatima, and frequently discusses these connections in podcasts and interviews. His narrative uniquely challenges conventional views on extraterrestrial encounters by blending them with elements of faith, spirituality, and existential inquiry.
Legacy
Bledsoe’s experiences have made him a prominent figure in UFO circles, where he is regularly invited to share his story at conferences and in media. For many (like me, for example), his story is about the possible linkage of UFOs with the spiritual world and fallen angels and the demonic.
Yeah. I saw it yesterday. But I didn’t think a 2600 year old turkey would taste that good. The inscription read. Pop-up timer.
LOL
The other article on deck is about a dig on a former British military camp from colonial Massachusetts, the archaeologists found a 300 year old drumstick.
Turkey had a lot of mother and child worship origins from Sumeria, Nimrod, Semaramis and Tamuz. Pergamos, Thyatira...as you state, the mother/child deity has lore in every culture probably since Babel and building a star tower of the heavens
Nice
So did three kids in Fatima.
On May 13, 1917, Lucia dos Santos, Francisco, and Jacinta Marto were, respectively, ten, nine, and seven years old. The three children lived in Aljustrel, a hamlet of the township of Fatima.
...in 1916, the children began to receive visits from a luminous Lady who later identified herself as “The Lady of the Rosary.”
