Suratkaya Inscriptions In 2000, a group of lightly carved luwian hieroglyphic inscriptions were discovered on the back wall of a rock shelter by archeologist Anneliese Peschlow-Bindokat. The location known as Suratkaya is about 1000 meter high in the Beşparmak Mountain (ancient Latmos), near the lake of Latmos (ancient Gulf of Latmos). There are 5 groups of signs distributed over a 12 by 4 meter rock surface. Left most group of signs mention the Land of Mira, while others appear to be names of some princes. Largest and the most clear one of the signs is the 5th group. It is read as Kupaya and suggested that it could be the person known as Kupanta-Kurunta or Kubantaruntiya (see Karabel). However the sign is marked with the title "Great Prince" which is very unusual considering that even the actual princes of the Hittite great kings did not use such a title. It is known that Kupanta-Kurunta was the adopted son of Mira king Mashuiluwa, who was married to a Hittite princess, a daughter of Suppiluliuma I. If the reading is right, the inscription dates to the end of 14th cent. BCE. 37°30'42 N - 27°39'38 E Google Earth location (approximate) Click on pictures for a larger image.
