Organically it was related to the royal-power official ideology of the late Hittite period, namely, to the widespread conception of divine representatives of royal power in Ancient East. It became known that Tarhunzas was identified with Heavens (``deity of Heavens Tarhunzas”, ``Heavenly deity Tarhunzas”). Besides, he is also attributed the function of a hero, victor, defender of king, his country and cities, fertility-bringer. The evidence of the hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions related to deity Tarhunt, as is represented in the paper, is substantiated completely by the reliefs and bas-reliefs showing this deity, discovered in the Ancient Near East, where the functions of this deity is stressed clearly. In the authors’ viewpoint, it is especially significant that the same is also indicated by the Luwian hieroglyphs denoting the name of Tarḫunt, which represent none other than testicles, (Hittite(anat.) arki-, (Akkadian ŠIR); (KUŠ)laplai-?; tašku-(c) (?), Latin testis) and Luwian hieroglyph denoting male strength and power.Фактически, впервые в грузинской историографии, проведëнные авторами изыскания однозначно показывают изменение обшественного статуса женшины во времени.
