A 7500 mile journey across Asia along the old Silk Road

The Hittite rock santuary at Yazilikaya just outside Hattusa was completed in the late 13th Century BC during the reign of Tudhaliya IV, Great King of Hattusa. This relief from the east gallery [Gallery A] shows a procession of twelve gods. These are reckoned to be the same twelve gods that can be seen in Gallery B.
