It is believed that they had a symbolic role as guardians. The reliefs depict scorpions, charging boars or lions. The reliefs vary in style, some are quite simple, others carefully executed, sophisticated. Six stone troughs with a capacity of up to 160 liters were discovered within the temple walls. Sediment containing oxalates, which precipitates when water combines with cereal grains, was found at their bottom - perhaps prehistoric people brewed beer there. According to the Museum of Archeology and Mosaics director in Sanliurfa, such architecture and symbols cannot be seen in any other place.
