Summary:

This book, authored by Heinrich Otten, delves into the intricate funerary rituals of the Hittites, an ancient civilization that thrived in the region now known as Turkey. The text is closely linked to the archaeological excavations in Bogazköy, led by Kurt Bittel, where significant discoveries about Hittite burial practices were made. Otten documents the rituals associated with royal funerals, particularly focusing on the 'sallis uastais' ritual. The work is a scholarly investigation into the religious and cultural practices of the Hittites, based on extensive fieldwork and textual analysis of cuneiform tablets. The book is intended for academics, archaeologists, and historians interested in ancient Near Eastern studies and Hittite culture. Generated by AI.
