The academicians analyzed high-resolution satellite images one by one to determine the extent of damage to archaeological sites and cultural assets.

Prof. Çilingiroğlu said, "We cannot measure this much cultural heritage quickly by examining them one by one in the field. Satellite images provide the opportunity to make this determination quickly." She said the results will be shared with the public and scientific world at openstreetmap.org.

Several historical sites around the earthquake zone have been affected by the Feb. 6-dated earthquakes. The Kahramanmaraş Castle's interior and perimeter walls have partially collapsed as a result. It is now closed to visitors.

The Dexiosis Column in the 2,000-year-old Karakuş Tumulus in Adıyaman collapsed after the earthquakes.
