“…1650–1620 BC), whose Annals (CTH 4, §2–3, A i 9–14; Košak et al 2021) recount his destruction of the city (Beckman 2006: 219–20). Subsequent campaigns against Alalakh, Uršu, Ḫaššum and Ḫaḫḫum show a strategy of picking off the states between Anatolia and Yamḫad (Figure 1b) (Klengel 1999: 44–55). Ḫattusili's successor, Mursili I, sacked Yamḫad's capital Ḫalpa (Aleppo) and, in a famous raid at the end of the reign of Babylonian king Samsuditana (hMC/lMC 1595/1587 BC, or possibly 1602/1594 BC; Roaf 2012), Babylon itself (Figure 1b).…”

Dates differ by up to 150 years in the protracted debate around the chronology of the Middle Bronze Age Near East. Here, the authors present radiocarbon and ceramic evidence from destroyed buildings at Zincirli, Türkiye, that support the Middle Chronology. Ceramics from late Middle Bronze Age sites in Syria and Anatolia, and Bayesian modelling of 18 well-stratified radiocarbon samples from site destruction contexts attributable to Hittite king Ḫattusili I, indicate a date in the later seventeenth century BC. Since the Northern Levant connects the Mesopotamian and Eastern Mediterranean second-millennium BC chronologies, this evidence supports the convergence of these long-debated schemas, with implications for the start of the Late Bronze Age and the rise of empires.

“…Then, for more than a century, the relief was discussed and reproduced in innumerable articles about the Hittites, notably to introduce them (Alaura 2017a,b; Bryce 2002, 1; Collins 2007, 3; Güterbock 1995; Hirschfeld 1887, 10; Jensen 1903; Klengel 1999, 5–10; Seeher 2002; Weeden 2017). The main questions addressed are the dating, reading of the inscription and the particularity of its style (Bittel 1939; 1967; Garstang 1929, 176–9; Kohlmeyer 1983; Lepsius 1846; MacQueen 1986; Perrot & Guillaume 1866; Ramsay 1927, 140–81; Steinherr 1965).…”

‘Vandalizing’ Father Hittite. Karabel, Orientalism and Historiographies

This paper provides a framework to highlight the entanglement of discovery and historiography based on the example of the rock-relief figure of Karabel (Turkey), a pivotal monument to recognize the Hittites and the biblical past. I lay out the common narrative of the re-discovery's story that resemble a hagiography, and I put it into perspective with critiques from post-colonial studies. Due to the ongoing damage at the figure of Karabel, I hypothesize that the one-sided role of the monument in the story of the re-discovery of the Hittites by western scholars is insufficient to avoid the radical rejection of the Karabel relief by some people. This article is theory-in-practice: it highlights some pitfalls and tells a story with more diversity, open thought, and considerations beyond traditional narratives of power in passéist oriental archaeology.
