The Anatolian hieroglyphic script arose out of an indigenous set of pictorial symbols used in Anatolia during the second millennium bce . Its highly pictorial signs include syllabograms, logograms, and semantic determinatives. The script is first attested in a fully developed form ca. 1350–1200 bce , when in addition to seals it was used extensively on monumental stone inscriptions commissioned by Hittite rulers, and became associated with the Luwian language. It went out of use after 700 bce , as a result of the Assyrian conquest of the Neo‐Hittite states and the spread of alphabetic scripts.
