EDITORS COMMENTS
This impressive pair of basalt slabs, dating back to the Late Hitite Period around the 9th century BC, showcases the hieroglyphic inscriptions detailing the activities of King Urhilina and his son, Urattami, in the ancient city of Hama, now located in modern-day Syria. The intricately carved relief on these slabs offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Hitite Empire during its final centuries. The Hitites, an ancient civilization originating in Anatolia, established a powerful monarchy that ruled over a vast territory, including parts of modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. The Luwian language, used in these inscriptions, is a testament to the cultural influences that shaped the Hitite Empire. King Urhilina is depicted on the left slab, seated on a throne, while his son, Urattami, stands beside him. Both monarchs wear distinctive Hitite headdresses and hold scepters, symbolizing their royal power. The inscription on the left slab describes King Urhilina's military victories and his successful reign. The right slab portrays King Urhilina offering a bull to the god Teshub, the chief deity of the Hitite pantheon. The inscription on this side records the king's donation to the temple of Teshub and his promise to maintain the welfare of the city of Hama. These slabs, now housed in the Museum of Ancient Orient in Istanbul, Turkey, provide valuable insights into the daily life, religious practices, and political structure of the Hitite Empire during its final centuries. The intricate carvings and the historical text offer a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world, allowing us to connect with the past and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the Hitites.
