Analysis of the weapons and figures shown on the stelae suggests that Eurasian nomads had penetrated the region by the early first millennium B.C. A total of 13 stelae of a type never seen before in Anatolia or the Near East, have been discovered in 1998 and may depict rulers of Hubushkia, a kingdom known from Assyrian annals of the tenth and ninth centuries B.C. Chiseled into one surface of each of the slabs is a frontal view of the upper part of a human figure (the legs are not represented). It is certain that these stelae, which may represent the rulers of the kingdom of Hubushkia, were created under the influence of a Eurasian steppe culture that had infiltrated into the Near East.
