Jørgen Alexander Knudtzon
Jørgen Alexander Knudtzon was a Norwegian linguist and historian. In recognizing the Hittite language as Indo-European  on the basis of two letters found in Egypt (Die zwei Arzawa-Briefe, 1902), he played an important role in the dechipering of the Hittite language script. In two landmark volumes (1907 and 1915) he published the Amarna letters, diplomatic correspondence of the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, better known as Akhenaten (1351 - 1334 BCE).
