Note: LEI is used in Etruscan scripts Q297, K74 and TC144. Of interest is the Sumerian goddess Innana (Akkadian, Ishtar) and her son-consort Dumuzzi. She was pictured as a goddess that stood atop a lion or was flanked by lions and associated with the Tree of Life. See www.crystalinks.com/sumergods1.html for more information of Innana. She may have been the prototype of the Phrygian Mater and her son-consort Attis. The direction this altar faces is relevant to the identification of the god/goddess inscribed here. It should be facing either the Spring, Summer or Winter solstice. If it is oriented to the Summer solstice, in Akkadian religion it was a time of mourning, according to crystalinks.com.

The following is what Brixhe and Lejeune say about the monument which faces East.

"Près de Kümbet (environ 50 km N d'Afyon, 10 km W de la "Ville de Midas"), à 500 m à l'Est de la colline appelée Asar Kale, sur le flanc oriental d'un petit massif rocheu, petite façade avec inscription dextroverse monostique, gravée en arc de cercle au-dessus du tympan."

This monument has no visible inscription. It is identified by Brixhe and Lejeune as W-03. Compare the pediment to Script XT (W-02). Also, compare the top of this monument to the Areyastis Monument of Midas City, Script XB.

Script XW-1 SNEOGR (SNEoGR RIG :  GUoM (GFoM). [Translation: Sennacherib, ruler or I rule (rex, lead, to (L. rigo-are; It. rigare) of Guom?] Note: The name resembles that of Seneferre Piye (753-713 B.C., 25th Dynasty). However, this appears to link to the name of Sennacherib (means "not the first born," 702-680 or 704-703 and 688-681 [second term] B.C.) of Assyria, son of Sargon II. Sennacherib was regarded as the most powerful of the Assyrians and conquered the Mediterranean lands, including Judah during the time of Hezekiah, and Egypt. "Guom" may refer to the people of Que.

XW-4 NUS At GOVERM (GOFERM) [Translation: our (L. nos; It. noi, nostro; Fr. nous, nos) moreover, and indeed (L. moreover, at, ast; indeed, ac, atque) govern, governor (L. guberno-are, to steer a ship, in gen. to steer, direct, govern)]

General note: This is one of the most interesting texts yet found in the Phrygian language. The image was supplied to maravot.com by Brian Rowbotham, www.izmirtourism.com, who says, "It is from Zincirli.  This is near Nemrut Dagh / Malatya / Adiyaman, south central Anatolia.  So we're moving East. The relief is 112 cms high, in basalt.  Attention is drawn to a small cignon at the neck which gives a date of late 8th century BC.  It is in Berlin's Near Asiatic Museum."

The tile has some interesting characteristics that suggest it is Phrygian. Also, a character we have read as "a" appears to be Lydian.

The throne has a seat and side rails that are identical to the throne of Ashurbanipal of Assyria (reigned 669-631 B.C.) After Sennacherib's second reign, his son, Esarhaddon reigned (680-669 B.C.) followed by his son Ashurbanipal. If the throne in Script XW is that of Sennacherib then the design continuity of the throne through at least Ashurbanipal's reign is demonstrated here.

Wikepedia says, "Sennacherib (in Akkadian Śïn-ahhe-eriba "(The moon god) Śïn has Replaced (Lost) Brothers for Me") was the son of Sargon II, whom he succeeded on the throne of Assyria (705 BC–681 BC)." His main campaign was to defeat Judah and Samaria, carrying off the children of Israel into captivity, when Egypt joined the war on the side of Judah. Sennacherib took the war into Egypt which he defeated. When he took the throne he moved his capital to Nineveh and turned it into the major metropolis of its time. The labour for his giant building project was performed by people of Que, Cilicia, Philistia, Tyre, and Chaldeans, Aramaeans, and Mannaeans who were there involuntarily. Wikepedia says that Que was an Assyrian vassal state or province at various times from the 9th century BC to shortly after the death of Ashurbanipal around 627 BCE in the lowlands of eastern Cilicia.
