The Hittite Sun Disk or Hittite Sun Course is an ancient Anatolian symbol dating back to the 20th century BC. The symbol belongs to the Hattis from the pre-Hittite period. The Sun Disk was used in ceremonies by Hattians about 4.000 years ago.⁣ ⁣ Round sphere forming the Sun Disk symbolizes the earth or the sun. At the bottom, there are two horn-like protrusions but what they represent is not clear. The protrusions at the top represent fertility, and the procreation of nature.⁣ ⁣ Our t-shirt design inspired by this symbol is available on Amazon (US): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09RTYB3SD ⁣
