Orhon (or Orkhon) inscriptions are the oldest known Turkish writings, which were erected near the Orhon? river (between 732-735 AD) in honour of two Kokturk? princes Kul and Bilge. They have been carved on two monuments by old Turkish runes (see Old Turkic alphabet), which were deciphered by the Danish philologist [Vilhelm Thomsen]? in 1893.
