Tynna, possibly also known as Dana, was an ancient Anatolian city located at the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, near the town of Ulukışla and the Cilician Gates in southern Cappadocia.
[3][11][8] According to a bronze tablet and the Ulmi-Teššub treaty, Tunna was a location in the region of Tarḫuntašša in the Ḫūlaya River Land where the hypostasis of the storm god Tarḫuntaš bearing the epithet of piḫaššaššiš (𒁉𒄩𒀸𒊭𒀸𒅆𒅖) was venerated,[11][9] with piḫaššaššiš Tarḫuntaš (𒀭𒌋𒁉𒄩𒀸𒊭𒀸𒅆𒅖) possibly meaning lit.
[15][16][17] Since Atuna later obtained the territory of the Tabalian kingdom of Šinuḫtu, it was likely in the region immediately south of the Halys river's southernmost bend, to the immediate north of Šinuḫtu, and to the west of the kingdom of Tabal proper[15][18][19] and around the site which the present-day village of Bohça,[20] which was possibly its capital and where the king Kurdis of Atuna had erected a stele.
[32] In an inscription at the site corresponding to present-day Bulgarmaden, Tarḫunazzas recorded that, in exchange for his services, his overlord Warpalawas II had offered to him the Mount Mudis.
[33][34][35] Mount Mudis was a rocky outcrop of the Taurus Mountains near the Cilician Gates,[36] and was likely identical with the "alabaster mountain," Mount Mulî, which the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser III climbed and from where he extracted alabaster during his campaign in the Tabalian region in 837 BCE.
[33][35][44] Based on the close association of Mount Tunni with Mount Mulî in the Neo-Assyrian records, both of these mountains were located close to each other, in the northeastern end of the Bolkar and Taurus Mountains, where are presently located the silver mines of Bulgarmaden and the gypsum mine at Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük.
[29] Another petty-king of Tunna who was vassal of the kings of Tuwana might have been Masauraḫissas, who possibly reigned in the middle or late 8th century BC,[1] and who is known from an inscription by his general Parḫwiras.
