Formerly thought to be a version of the Hittite Language , "Hieroglyphic Hittite" was used to refer to the language of the same inscriptions, but this term is now obsolete. The first report of a monumental inscription dates to 1850 , when an inhabitant of Nevsehir reported the relief at Fratkin . In 1870 , antiquarian travellers in Aleppo found one built into the south wall of the el-Qiqan Mosque. In 1884m Polish scholar Maryan Sokolowski discovered an inscription near Köylütolu, western Turkey. The largest known inscription was excavated in 1970 in Yalburt, northwest of Konya .
