The Hittite Sun Disk, also known as the Hittite Sun Course, is an ancient Anatolian symbol dating back to the 20th century BC, belonging to the Hattis from the pre-Hittite period. Used in ceremonies by Hattians around 4,000 years ago, this symbol represents the earth or the sun, depicted as a round sphere. The pointed edges atop the disk symbolize the reproduction of nature and fertility. Some variations of the Sun Disk feature deer figures symbolizing peace, as well as bird and tree figures symbolizing fertility and freedom in nature.
