Associate Professor Dr. Faris Demir, who stated that the 'Karatepe Inscriptions', registered in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, contain many images and symbols from the ancient period in the Karatepe-Aslantaş Archaeological Site, located 24 kilometers away from Kadirli district of Osmaniye, said, "The Karatepe Inscriptions can contribute to the understanding of Indus Valley and even Inca Stone inscriptions in Brazil, just as they did in the deciphering of Minoan Hieroglyphs."
THE LONGEST BILINGUAL INSCRIPTION
Archaeologist Associate Professor Dr. Faris Demir stated that the origins of Anatolian Luwian Hieroglyph inscriptions date back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period and are universal, saying, "Although Anatolian Luwian Hieroglyphs and Egyptian Hieroglyphs are found in the same geography, they are completely different from each other. Egyptian Hieroglyphs were only found in Egypt, but Anatolian Hieroglyphs must have spread over a wide area due to their universality. The origins of Anatolian Hieroglyphs extend as far back as Göbeklitepe and Körtik Tepe. The Karatepe inscriptions, registered in the UNESCO Memory of the World Register, are the longest bilingual inscriptions in the world in terms of imagery. All writings in the world are derived from pictographs. Pictographs are universal, meaning they are not dependent on any language," he said.
"MILLIONS OF DOLLARS' WORTH OF MYSTERIES ARE HIDDEN IN THE KARATEPE INSCRIPTIONS"
Archaeologist Associate Professor Dr. Faris Demir stated that rewards have been offered for the deciphering of the Indus Valley inscriptions, saying, "The Karatepe Inscriptions provide clues that could help decipher the Indus Valley and Inca Stone in Brazil. The Anatolian Hieroglyphs found in the Karatepe Inscriptions, that is, Luwian writings, have enabled the reading of Minoan Hieroglyphs. They also provide clues that will enable the reading of many hieroglyphs. Rewards have also been offered for the deciphering of the inscriptions in the Indus Valley. Due to their hieroglyphic nature, the inscriptions, images, symbols, and hieroglyphs in Karatepe provide important clues for solving these inscriptions," he said.
