@Thoreau It's too perfect. Its neatness strongly implies that the artist had plenty of practice. Somewhere there must be a far older grandsmiley.

@jackemled Smiley faces feel modern, don't they? They became a big thing in the 70's and then we made emojis out of them, so they are still everywhere. The Hittite Smiley Face gives a modern person some kind of uncanny valley feeling, but like a modern uncanny feeling. How can somebody so long ago emote the same way we do?
