For the Hittite aficionados who track every single Boğazköy fragment there are some new bits and pieces published by Y. Arıkan and D. Schwemer in a not so well-known place – but thanks to the wonderful Dergi Park system the article can be easily accessed👇 dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/egetid/…
Amazing find; the earliest evidence for writing in Basque, has been found. It likely dates to early 1st cent BC, and likely served as some sort of protective spell. Didn’t work well, for the building was destroyed, quite possibly in the Sertorian wars. Great thread👇
The object is believed to have been used as an ornament that the settlers would hang on their front door. It wasn't given much attention at start, until the restoration works began. On January 18th, 2022, and inscription was found etched into the hand
Great photo of an Old Script(!!) #Hurrian #cuneiform tablet here. Scholarly publication of this and other Hurrian tablet finds from Büklükale is in the pipeline.
According to Japanese archaeologists, an ancient clay tablet discovered at the Büklükale ruins in central Turkey suggests that a little-known rival ethnic group was closely involved in the establishment of the Hittite Empire more than 3,000 years ago. arkeonews.net/important-disc…
Here's an awesome inscription, on an altar found in 2009 in Viseu, Portugal. While its last four lines are Latin, the initial phrase is not. "DEIBABOR/IGO/DEIBOBOR/VISSAIEIGO/BOR" This likely means 'to the goddesses and gods of Viseu' in an ancient Iberian language: Lusitanian.
Great new find of a Phrygian text that does not only mention the capital Gordion and (1st line) Antiochus I (hi @AntiokhosE!) but also a new Persian name that was predicted to have existed (but is now for the first time attested).
(1) Importantíssim descobriment epigràfic a Frígia. Les fotografies que s'han fet públiques són parcials però ja permeten veure-hi coses extraordinàries. Només n'esmentaré una. (FIL)
A 3400-year-old city emerges from the Tigris River. A team of German and Kurdish archaeologists have uncovered a 3400-year-old Mittani Empire-era city once located on the Tigris River. The settlement emerged from the waters of the Mosul reservoir early this year...
