A New Decipherment of the Hittite Hieroglyphics (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from A New Decipherment of the Hittite Hieroglyphics
The new texts of 1911 from Carchemish do not differ outwardly to any great extent from those already known and published, for no bilingual was found. But a large and almost complete slab came to light inscribed with six lines of about six hundred closely-written Hittite characters, which ultimately formed the base of my decipherment,. And after several months' work on it I came to the conclusion that there were several kings' names concealed therein. Such results as I have embodied in this article differ almost entirely from previous systems of decipherment, and, omitting the obvious ideograms, I can agree only with a few of Professor Sayce's valuesl out of his whole syllabary, All credit is due to him for determinative for place-names: det. For 'god'
