Bogazköy Archive

The Bogazkoy archives are a collection of texts found on the site of the capital of the Hittite state, the city of Hattusas (now Bogazkoy in Turkey).

They are the oldest extant documents of the state, and they are believed to have been created in the 2nd millennium BC.

Akkadian is also a common language, though it is interspersed with Hurrian and Hittite.

[4][5] Given that the writing is mostly in cuneiform, there are Sumerograms interspersed throughout the texts regardless of language.

The Bogazkoy Archives were discovered in 1906 by Hugo Winckler and Theodore Makridi.
