Village in Turkey 145 km/90 mi E of Ankara.
It is on the site of Hattusas, the ancient
Hittite capital established about 1640 BC.
Thousands of tablets discovered by
excavations here over a number of years by
the German Oriental Society revealed, when
their cuneiform writing was deciphered by
Bedrich Hrozny (1879-1952), a great deal
about the customs, religion, and history of
the Hittite people.
