The Hittites (/ˈhɪtaɪts/) were an Anatolian people who played an important role in establishing first a kingdom in Kussara before 1750 BC, then the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom (c. 1750–1650 BC), and next an empire centered on Hattusa in north-central Anatolia around 1650 BC. This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Šuppiluliuma I, when it encompassed an area that included most of Anatolia as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.
Hattusa (also Ḫattuša or Hattusas /ˌhɑːttʊˈsɑːs/; Hittite: Ḫa-at-tu-ša, Hattic: Hattush) was the capital of the Hittite Empire in the late Bronze Age. Its ruins lie near modern Boğazkale, Turkey, within the great loop of the Kızılırmak River (Hittite: Marashantiya; Greek: Halys).
Hattusa was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1986.

The Sphinx Gate in Hattusa (the capital of the Hittite Empire in the Late Bronze Age) was part of the city's fortifications. The Sphinx's Gate, is one of the three most notable gates of Hattusa's Upper City fortifications, other two being King's Gate, the Lions' Gate.
The inner doorway was adorned with sphinxes that were almost three dimensional, not only the front of their bodies looking towards the city but also with high wings on the sides and long upright tails. Only one original Sphinx is still in place while two others are kept in the local museum. All four door jambs of the gate bore representations of Sphinxes.

The capital of the Hittites - Hattusa - was surrounded by massive fortifications when the Hittite civilization had a status of the Near East superpower. The walls were erected using the natural shape of the terrain or completely changing it, depending on the architectural and strategic needs. At least six gates let people enter the interior of the city. The Lion Gate is the first one that can be seen when following the official sightseeing route around Hattusa.
The Lion Gate, built in the early 14th century BCE, is located in the south-western part of the fortifications. It is flanked by two towers and the upper parts between the towers have been destroyed. The gate consists of two access openings of parabolic shape: an internal one and an external one. Once they were mounted with wooden doors that opened inwards. Most probably, the exterior doors were sheathed in bronze to increase their resistance.

The King’s Gate in Hattusa (the capital of the Hittite Empire in the Late Bronze Age) was part of the city's fortifications. The gate is decorated with a sculpture of the God of War in high relief and measuring 2.25m in height. The original relief can be seen today in the Museum of Ancient Civilizations in Ankara.
The King's Gate (tr. Kral Kapısı) is situated in the south-eastern part of Hattusa city walls. It is worth the attention of visitors especially because of its excellent state of preservation. Its shape and size are similar to the Lion Gate in the south-western part of the fortifications. The gate is flanked by two towers, and there are two parabolic-shaped door passages: external and internal.

See the lonely man there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits everyday now
He's just waiting for something to show
And nobody knows him
And nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place for you
Looking everywhere at no one
He sees everything and nothing at all, oh
When he shouts, nobody listens
Where he leads no one will go, oh
He's a lonely man, there on the corner
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he waits everyday now
And he's just waiting for something to show, oh
Nobody knows him
And nobody cares
'Cause there's no hiding place
There's no hiding place for you and me
Are we just like all the rest?
We're looking too hard for something he's got
Or moving too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back, you need it
But do you love it enough to leave it? Ah
Just like the lonely man there on the corner?
What he's waiting for, I don't know, oh
But he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show, oh
Who's the lonely man there on the corner?
What he's waiting for, I don't know
But he's there every day now
And he's just waiting for something to show, oh
Who's the lonely man there on the corner?
What he's waiting for, I don't know
Oh, but he waits every day now
He's just waiting for that something to show

Living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time, we were free

Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea

Dünyanın en küçük arastası.
The world's smallest market in Çorum.
Three-square-foot shop is located thirty-nine.
A life-size bronze sculpture of Secretariat running at the legendary Claiborne Farm and a three-story mural of him winning the 1973 Kentucky Derby are the centerpieces of a new park on Main Street in Paris, Kentucky.
The park opened November 11, 2023 — 50 years to the date that the Triple Crown champion arrived at Claiborne for his breeding career. The park is open 24 hours a day and free for all to visit.
The mural, "Big Red Machine", was painted by equine artist Jaime Corum of Kentucky.
"Twice the Heart" was sculpture by artist Jocelyn Russel of Washington State.

Sonbahar doğadaki yabani meyvelerin olgunlaşma mevsimidir. Doğa yürüyüşü yapan kişiler bazen böyle güzel sürprizlerle karşılaşırlar ve çok mutlu olurlar. Yabani meyvelerin tadı ve aroması size manavdan aldığınız meyvelerden asla tadamayacağınız bir zevk yaşatır. Selçuklu dönemi yerleşimi olan Kalehisar'dan, Antik Hitit kenti Alacahöyük'e giden bu rota üzerinde olgunlaşmış meyveleri dalında çok sayıda yabani meyve ağacı ile karşılaştık.
..in a historical building with a lot of character..I mean the people and the place..
My friend Asli and i were taking a walk at night in the town of Corum cause we just didn't feel like getting stuck in a hotel room..and was looking for a good place to eat..So asking around , we were guided to this very interesting building called the" Velipasha Konagi" which has been around for several hundred years..But when we got there we found out there was a wedding here and we surely didn't wanted to crash a party we were not invited to..Then this gentilman in the picture who was a theater actor from Tokat invited us in and said we were more than welcome to join the wedding party and celebrate with them...How could we refuse..
to be continued..
Hattuşa Antik Kentinin güney ucundaki Yer Kapı’nın özel bir amaçla yapıldığı kabul görmektedir. Burada 30 m. yüksekliğinde, 250 m. uzunluğunda ve 80 m. genişliğinde bir toprak set oluşturulmuştur. Bu set üzerinden geçen kent surunun ortalarında Sfenksli Kapı yer alır. Bu kapının tam altında, Hatuşa’nın bugün içinden geçilebilen tek potern (tünel) vardır. 71 m. uzunluğunda ve 3 m. yüksekliğindeki poternden geçilerek sur dışına çıkılmaktadır.
Gate in Hattuşa
Hattuşa, Turkey
The Yer Kapı is Hattuşa's most impressive gate, with an artificial mound pierced by a 70m-long tunnel. The Hittites built the tunnel using a corbelled arch (two flat faces of stones leaning towards one another), as the 'true' arch was not invented until later.
Primitive or not, the arch of Yer Kapi has done its job for millennia, and you can still pass down the stony tunnel as Hittite soldiers did, emerging from the postern. Afterwards, re-enter the city via one of the monumental stairways up the wide stone glacis and pass through the Sphinx Gate, once defended by four great sphinxes. Of the original statues, one is still in situ, two are in the Boğazkale museum and the other has been lost. The two replica sphinxes gracing the inner gate here used to call the Boğazkale museum home before the originals were returned in 2011.
There are wonderful views over the upper city temple district from here.
