Kikkuli was the Hurrian "master horse trainer [assussanni] of the land of Mitanni" and author of a chariot horse training text written primarily in Hittite, dating to the Hittite New Kingdom. The text is notable both for the information it provides about the development of Hittite, an Indo-European language, Hurrian, and for its content. The text was inscribed on cuneiform tablets discovered during excavations of Boğazkale and Ḫattuša in 1906 and 1907.
