The bronze chains that showed they left on purpose, not under attack
In this episode, we follow the archaeological evidence from Hattusa that reframes the end of a capital: the objects left behind, the archive removed, and the sequence of abandonment and fire. What does a public bronze tablet with its chains still attached tell us about how and why the city was vacated?
Person: Suppiluliuma I
Date: ca. 1200 BCE
Location: Hattusa
Event: abandonment followed by fire
Topic: bronze tablet with chains
- Archaeologists excavated a five-kilogram bronze tablet thirty-five meters west of the Sphinx Gate, still bearing two hanging chains.
- The tablet was thirty-five by twenty-four centimeters and had been buried for more than three thousand years.
- Hattusa’s massive fortifications-walls over six kilometers long and eight meters thick-remained standing when the city ceased to function.
- Final occupation layers show storerooms and temples systematically cleared: cult statues, sacred objects, and inventory tablets were removed rather than looted.
- Stratigraphy indicates the city’s fire occurred after the king, priests, and scribes had left through the gates, not during an immediate conquest.
