I want Ed to say that I love your work and humor. I really appreciate it while trying to learn more about ancient languages, especially the whole Habayu and El "incident". I was wondering, however, if you, sisterofiris, or anyone you know could help me find information on learning the Hattian/Hattic and Luwian languages?

I’m not at all familiar with them, I’m afraid.  @sisterofiris​, any leads?

Standard with two long-horned bulls (via The Met)

Early Bronze Age III (ca. 2300–2000 BCE)

Central Anatolia, Hattian culture

“During the Early Bronze Age in central Anatolia (3000–2000 B.C.), a number of nonliterate, localized cultures having little contact with urban Mesopotamia produced spectacular metal vessels, jewelry, weapons, and musical instruments to be buried with their rulers. This pair of long-horned bulls probably served as a finial for a religious or ceremonial standard. ...The bulls' elaborate, curving horns are half again as long as their bodies, and though impossible in nature, constitute an effective stylistic convention. The tendency to emphasize important features in the representation of animals is a common motif in ancient Near Eastern art.”
