A newly deciphered Hittite tablet offers potential connections between Bronze Age Anatolia and the epic tradition of Homer’s Iliad, including references to figures and places associated with the Trojan War and a Luwian poetic fragment echoing the Iliad's opening.
Excavations in Turkey have revealed a previously unknown Anatolian-Indo-European language, Kalašma, dating back around 3,000 years. The language is similar to Luwian and has been deciphered by researchers from the University of Worzburg and Istanbul University.
