Burunkaya The hieroglyphic Luwian rock inscription is at the location known as Burunkaya Hill near the village of Gücünkaya, east of Aksaray. The inscription on the rock piece is upside down which suggests that the rock did fell from somewhere on Burunkaya Hill. It was first discovered by Oğuz Demir in 1971. It has a one-line hieroglyphic Luwian inscription. Like the inscriptions of Karadağ and Kızıldağ, it mentions the name of King Hartapus. Hawkins gives the possible reading of the inscription as "[In] this place Great King Hartapus belov(ed)(?) of the Storm-God, [son] of Mursilis Great King, He[ro ... ] he did/will smite." The appearance of Hartapus name in several different monuments around the area somewhat gives an idea about the size of the land he ruled. As mentioned under Kızıldağ, the date of the monument is argued to be immediately after the empire period (12th century BCE). Click on pictures for a larger image.
