Dates and coordinates
The dates here are a summary; where the sources disagree, this is shown openly on the stop pages. As for the coordinates: the location of 8 of the 9 stops has been verified from independent sources — OpenStreetMap, Kültür Envanteri or the monument's own record on the map; each stop's page says which. The coordinates of the remaining 1 are still estimated from the book's descriptions of their location, and are marked “provisional coordinates” on their pages.
