The Turkish spelling is 'Alaca Höyük'.

The bicephalous (two-headed) eagle was the main heraldic symbol of the Hittites. A
quick Google search of the internet will lead you to numerous web sites that cite as a fact
that the Hittites were the first to use this symbol, and that other uses of the two-headed
eagle (e.g. Byzantium, Russia, Germany and Albania) derive either directly or indirectly
from the Hittite version. One even claims that the Roman (single-headed) eagle was
based on it. I'm not qualified to comment on the truth of any of this, but it is all
fascinating.
This is the central scene in Chamber A. There are many figures either side of this scene
forming two processions of gods that lead up to this central meeting of Teshub and
Hebat. The figures in this picture are, left to right, as follows. First is probably
Teshub's brother, standing astride two mountain peaks. Next is Teshub, the weather god,
who is bearded and wears a tall, conical hat and a short-skirted tunic; he stands on the
shoulders of two mountain gods (probably Namni and Hazzi). Facing him is the sun
goddess Hebat wearing a fluted, cylindrical hat and a blouse and long skirt; she stands on
the back of a large feline, which is in turn standing on mountain peaks. Behind her is
Sharrumma, the son of Teshub and Hebat. He is the only male figure in the procession
behind Hebat. He too stands and the back of a feline that is standing on mountain peaks.
Next come two female figures: the first is identified as Alanzu, the daughter of Teshub
and Hebat; the second might be their granddaughter. They are dressed similarly to
Hebat, but the clothes aren't as full and flowing as hers; they are supported by a double
headed eagle with wings spread.
The King Tudhaliya IV is depicted in the protective embrace of the much taller god
Sharrumma, his patron. The king is dressed in long robes and a scull cap and is carrying
a long wand, curled at the bottom (a lituus). The god is wearing a short skirted tunic
with a belt and a tall conical hat with many horns on it. Both of them have pointed shoes
that curl up at the toe and a short sword, the hilts visible at their waists. Behind
Sharrumma's hat is a cartouche, in Hittite heiroglyphics, giving the king's name and title.
