Warpalawas

Ivriz relief - Teshub (on the left) and Warpalawas 

Warpalawa(s)   was a late 8th century BC (ca 730-710BC?) Late Hittite (or Neo-Hittite) king of Tabal in south-

central Anatolia (modern Turkey). The political center of

this Early Iron Age regional state was probably Tuwanuwa

(or Tuwana or Tuhana/ later Roman Tyana).

Among other commemorative monuments, Warpalawas

most notably commissioned the carving of a rock-relief

at the site of Ivriz near a spring, south of Tuwanuwa in

the province of Konya. In the relief, he is depicted with

the storm-god  Tarhunzas. His attire in the relief is seen

as an evidence for his kingdom’s close affinity with the

Phrygians. The relief is accompanied with a hieroglyphic

Luwian   inscription. The Tabalian king Urballa, men-tioned in the Assyrian texts at the time of Tiglath-pileser

III and Sargon II probably is Warpalawas.
