The tablet dates back to 1650-1200 BC and was discovered at the ancient site of Hattusa, present-day Bogazkoi in Turkey. It is now housed in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul. The intricate cuneiform script on this tablet reveals its significance as it documents the religious practices of Amihatna, who served as the high priest of Ishara, a revered divinity during that time.
