Hattusha– Part Three

There are some significant tunnels in the upper city, one of which has interesting paintings in it.

But surely the most intriguing is the secret chamber with Luwian hieroglyphics.

With the fall of the Hittite empire, the site continued to be inhabited and used, with some other group of people building a southern fortress, the remains of which can be seen below.

Outside the perimeter there is another inscription, Luwian put this one is not pictographic.

We’ve saved the best for last, the contents of Chambers A and B on top of the mountain, in our next post.
