Publisher's Synopsis

""Altaic Hieroglyphs and Hittite Inscriptions"" is a book written by Claude Conder, which explores the ancient writing systems of the Altaic peoples and the Hittites. The Altaic hieroglyphs are a little-known writing system used by various tribes in Central Asia, while the Hittite inscriptions are one of the earliest forms of writing in Anatolia. The book provides a comprehensive overview of both writing systems, including their history, structure, and decipherment. It also discusses the cultural and historical context of the civilizations that used these writing systems, shedding light on their beliefs, practices, and interactions with neighboring peoples. The author draws on a range of primary and secondary sources, including archaeological discoveries, linguistic studies, and historical records, to present a detailed and engaging account of these ancient writing systems. The book is aimed at scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history, archaeology, and linguistics, as well as anyone interested in the cultural heritage of the Altaic and Hittite peoples.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
