The Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism recently announced the discovery of 131 cuneiform tablets during the 2026 excavation season near Kayalıpınar, the site of the ancient Hittite city of Šamuḫa. The earliest texts date back to the reign of King Tudhaliya II. Mehmet Nuri Ersoy, Turkey’s Minister of Culture and Tourism, characterized the discovery as the most comprehensive Hittite archive discovered in the 21st century. The tablets, which are approximately 3,400 years old provide information about everyday life, including state administration, military developments, a pandemic, and Hittite divination practices. Much confusion exists over the Hittites from ancient Anatolia (modern Turkey) and the Hittites mentioned in the Bible.
