EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Hittite civilization, specifically a cuneiform tablet transcribing the Ritual of Amihatna. The tablet originates from the ancient city of Hattusa, present-day Bogazkoi in Turkey, and dates back to 1650-1200 BC. Displayed at the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, this piece offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this ancient civilization. The intricate cuneiform script on the tablet is believed to be written by Luisa Ricciarini herself, an expert in mythology and art. It documents the sacred ritual performed by Amihatna, who served as high priest for Ishara, a revered deity within Hittite religious beliefs. The significance of this ritual lies not only in its religious context but also its role in shaping Hittite culture and society during that time. With meticulous attention to detail captured through her lens, Ricciarini brings forth an image that transports viewers back thousands of years. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity as it depicts one of humanity's earliest forms of writing - cuneiform. As we admire this relic from afar, let us appreciate its historical value and recognize how it connects us with our ancestors' spiritual practices. Through artifacts like these tablets, we gain insight into their beliefs and rituals while marveling at their artistic expression etched onto clay tablets for eternity.
