A new stele base dedicated to the Storm God has been found at Haçgöz (Yeşilçat) village in the township of Siverek, Şanlıurfa. The base bears a Hittite hieroglyphic inscription on its rear side and this is the second hieroglyphic inscription of the Late Hittite Period found in Şanlıurfa province. It is generally accepted among the scholars that the Siverek region had an important place in the Late Hittite geography. It is thought that the decipherment of the inscription on this new find will contribute greatly to the geography of the period.
