Tektek Mountains
The Tektek Mountains ((トルコ語:Tektek Dağlari), also Tektek Dagh) are a range of mountains located east of Şanlıurfa (Urfa, formerly Edessa) in southeastern Turkey near the border with Syria.〔Facaros and Pauls, 2000, p. 500.〕〔Ross, 2001, p. 24.〕
The Tektek Mountains are known for the proliferation of large stone markers and cairns at summit of every height.〔 There are also at least two ancient sites located there: Karahan Tepe and Sumatar Harabesi.
==Physical geography==
The Tektek Mountains are located on the northern border of the Urfa-Harran plain, between the headwaters of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.〔〔Newspaper Enterprise Association, 1903, p. 277.〕 Reaching an altitude of , this spur extends southward from the Tur Abdin mountain range about away.〔 The Şebeke Mountains to the west form a chain together with the Tektek and Susuz Mountains. The Viranşehir plain, which covers an area of , lies between the Tektek and Karacadağ Mountains.〔
The mountain range is composed of Eocene and Miocene limestone, its valleys formed in the humid climatic conditions characteristic of the interglacial and post-glacial periods. There is no basalt present. The Tektek Mountains are devoid of woodland, with the exception of an area at the northwest end of the range where pistachio (''pistacia khinjuk'') trees grow.〔
