The Orkhon inscriptions (Turkish: Orhun Yazıtları), are two memorial installations erected by the Göktürks written in Old Turkic alphabet in the early 8th century in the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia. The inscriptions were discovered by Nikolay Yadrintsev's expedition in 1889, published by Vasily Radlov. The original text was written in the Old Turkic alphabet and was deciphered by the Danish philologist Vilhelm Thomsen in 1893. Vilhelm Thomsen first published the translation in French in 1899. He then published another interpretation in Danish in 1922 with a more complete translation. I gave references to Orkhon inscriptions in this artwork of mine. I preferred this reference in my work to shed light on many things that we need to explore. In the light of the information I received from the historical background of The Orkhon inscriptions, I designed this piece as an original inscription. I painted the surfaces using gold and copper foil, in addition with the black paint, and using mould, I created the alphabets.
