A. H. (Archibald Henry) Sayce
Archibald Henry Sayce (1845–1933) was a prominent British Assyriologist and linguist, known for his work in the fields of ancient Near Eastern languages and history. He made significant contributions to the study of cuneiform and was one of the earliest scholars to support the decipherment of Hittite inscriptions. Sayce authored numerous works, including "The Principles of Comparative Philology" and "Assyria: Its Princes, Priests, and People." His scholarship helped advance the understanding of early Mesopotamian and Anatolian cultures.
