The Lords of Hattusa 4/6

'Hattusa' (URU''Ḫa-at-tu-ša'' ; ''Ḫattuša'') was the capital of the Hittite Empire. The site is located near the modern-day town and district center of Boğazkale (), formerly named Boğazköy, in Çorum Province in north-east Central Anatolia, Turkey, at a distance of 90 km from the province seat of Çorum. The region is set in a loop of the Kızıl River (''Marashantiya'' in Hittite sources and Halys in Classical Antiquity) in Central Anatolia, about 200 km (125 miles) east of Ankara.
Hattusa was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1986.

the hittites beat gypt ass, they were the true kings of kings

[bhandari1963]

Its sometimes difficult to imagine how far advanced these two sets of civilisations were(egypt and Indus). Hittites built their cities based on rigvedic principles, similar to cities of dholvira and mohan jodaro etc.  Nowadays, if you look at the chaos in any south east asian city and wonder if these are the same people that rose to same heights?

@bhandari1963 so they moved away from the indus through babylon and assyria and settle in a remote part of turkey?

[bhandari1963]

Where in the god's world was any part of europe advanced enough(3000 b.c.-2000b.c.) to have built a city of this magnitude?.(00:50 seconds)

Lets be straight and say it... that VEDIC people of north-west India were the only culture that could have built it... Here are a few FACTS.

Their spoken the same language :SANSKRIT.#Their written language: NONE.# Trading and personal seals only.#They were masters of water management and irrigation.#2500+ highly planned city excavated. MORE.......
