Boghaz Keouy Hittites Reach Ancient Citadel in Asia Minor
In northern Cappadocia, Boghaz Keouy rises above a deep valley, the ruined capital of the Hittites. The citadel offers sheer cliffs, a stream below, and trenches turned to farmland. Fragments of pottery, glazed wares, and cuneiform tablets reveal a rich library and a treaty with Egypt. The site shows later symbols like the star and crescent and the double headed eagle, and the city was destroyed in the 13th century B C, ending Hittite habitation though the culture persisted in Cilicia and southern Cappadocia until the 8th century B C.
