BOGHAZ KEUI, a small village in Asia Minor, north-west of Yuzgat in the Angora vilayet, remarkable for the ruins and rock-sculptures in its vicinity. The discovery of a rich store of cuneiform tablets during the early part of the 2oth century has shown Boghaz Keui to have been the site of the Hattie capital during the 14th and i3th centuries B.C. Though the original site of the capital is thought to have been somewhere on the eastern edge of the Axylon plains, nevertheless when the Hittite empire included all Cappadocia, most of Syria and central Asia Minor, Boghaz Keui was the seat of authority. Many of the tablets are in native dialects, a factor which has caused difficulty in decipher ing them. The finds indicate a high standard of legal, artistic and social life, and are the source of new and unexpected facts illus trating the early history of Asia Minor.
