Hittite Cuneiform Tablets

Hittite cuneiform tablets are ancient clay inscriptions created by the Hittite civilization, which thrived in what is now Turkey around 1600-1200 BCE. Cuneiform, an early system of writing developed by the Sumerians, was adapted by the Hittites to record their language. These tablets cover various topics, including legal matters, treaties, religious texts, and historical records. They offer valuable insights into Hittite society, culture, and interactions with neighboring civilizations. Discovered in the early 20th century, these artifacts are crucial for understanding ancient Near Eastern history and the development of writing systems.
