The Hittites

هیتییەکان
Hattusa was originally founded by the Hatti (an indigenous tribe of Anatolia) in 2500 BC, and their culture may have provided the basis for that of the Hittites. They remained almost unknown until their writings were discovered, first by the Irish missionary William Wright in 1884, and then by the German archaeologist Hugo Winckler in 1906.— from Summary of Hittites, written by Median Library contributor ·
