Hittite cuneiform

Hittite cuneiform is an ancient writing system used by the Hittite civilization around 1600-1100 BCE. It involves pressing a stylus into soft clay tablets to create wedge-shaped marks, forming symbols that represent words or sounds. Originating from Mesopotamian cuneiform, Hittite cuneiform adapted the script to write the Hittite language. It was used mainly for official documents, treaties, and scholarly texts, providing valuable insights into Hittite history and culture. The cuneiform script was complex but versatile, enabling the recording of language in a durable format that has helped modern scholars understand this ancient society.
