TürkiyeYazılıkaya (Turkish: Inscribed rock) was a sanctuary of Hattusa, the capital city of the Hittite Empire, today in the Çorum Province, Turkey [1]. Most impressive today are the rock reliefs of Chambers A and B portraying the gods of the Hittite pantheon [1]. One of the uses of the sanctuary may have involved the New Year's celebrations ceremonies [1].
