Unknown Ancients

We have driven north to central Turkey to a beautiful farming area which has ancient ruins as old as the Egyptians. 

Before the Romans and Greeks there were the Hittites.  They ruled Turkey, bits of Iraq and Syria in the 2nd millenium BC about 1700 to 1200BC. 

They had the first recorded peace and mutual support ( in war) treaty, with Ramses II of Egypt.

Their capital Hattusas covered many acres on an amazing hillside with a view for miles. They built in stone and the foundations of over twenty temples have been excavated along with hundreds of metres of fortified wall.
