The Old Hittite and early Middle Hittite scripts are very similar, consequently, documents in those scripts cannot be precisely dated. The date of two texts commonly considered to be Old Hittite compositions is disputable, due to the presence of dU instead of expected older dISKUR (the name of the Storm-God). This younger form reflects Hurrian/north-Syrian cultural influence in the Middle Hittite period. In search of the beginning of this influence, stages of development of the Middle Hittite script are discussed, and documents relating to those stages are quoted. It is revealed, in conclusion, that the oldest compositions of Hurrian origin most likely belong to the second phase of the Middle Hittite script. Those compositions appeared in the northern Anatolian area presumably in the time of Tuthalija I. At that time, the Old Hittite script was still in use in parallel with the Midddle Hittite script.

The concept of a great Mother Goddess, identified with the Earth Mother and common for all Antiquity, emerged out from the syncretistic beliefs of Roman times. Despite the lack of evidence, the 18th and early 19th century scholars accepted it as a kind of dogma. Later, the discussed concept, in connection with the theory of matriarchate, was extended into the prehistoric past. Both theories were in force till the 1960s, when they have been discredited. However, the myth of the Mother Goddess, though rejected by a great majority of scholars, still belongs to the ideology of feminine and ecological movements. The Goddess herself has become a rich topic in feminist literature, moreover she is worshipped in several New Age cults.
