EDITORS COMMENTS
This Neo-Hittite hieroglyphic inscription is a testament to the rich history and cultural complexity of ancient civilizations in the eastern Mediterranean region. Carved on a large basalt slab, this relief is one of the many treasures discovered at the ancient site of Carchemish, now situated on the border between Turkey and Syria. Carchemish, also known as Karkemish, holds significant historical importance as it was an influential ancient capital that belonged to various empires throughout history, including the Mitanni, Hittite, and Neo-Assyrian Empires. The site was meticulously excavated between 1912 and 1914 by Sir Charles Leonard Woolley and T.E. Lawrence. The hieroglyphic inscription on this basalt stele dates back to the 9th century BC, showcasing the intricate and pictorial nature of Neo-Hittite writing. Hieroglyphics, a form of early writing, were used to communicate through the use of pictograms, which represented words, syllables, or ideas. These symbols were often combined to create complex messages, as seen in this magnificent relief carving. The Neo-Hittite hieroglyphic inscription is a captivating reminder of the ancient world's advanced communication systems and the intriguing history of the region that is now home to modern-day Turkey and Syria. This artifact provides valuable insights into the lives and cultures of the people who once inhabited this land, offering a glimpse into the past that continues to fascinate scholars and history enthusiasts alike.
