Hittite inscriptions
Hittite inscriptions are ancient writings carved or engraved on stone, clay tablets, or other materials, created by the Hittite civilization in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) around 1600-1200 BCE. They often record political treaties, religious beliefs, royal achievements, and historical events. Written in the Hittite language using cuneiform script, these inscriptions provide valuable insights into their society, governance, and culture. They are crucial for understanding early Indo-European civilizations and the history of the ancient Near East.
