Anatolian Hieroglyphs are a form of writing used in ancient Anatolia, primarily by the Hittites and other cultures from the late Bronze Age to the early Iron Age. This script consists of logograms and syllabic signs, allowing for the representation of both words and sounds. It was mainly used for inscriptions on monuments, seals, and pottery.
The hieroglyphs were discovered in various archaeological sites, including Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Empire. They provide valuable insights into the languages, culture, and history of the region. The script is distinct from Egyptian hieroglyphs, despite sharing the name.
