Did you know that "HATTUSA" means "City of a thousand Gods" which is written on the tablets with wedge writing, and it is a significant witness of Hittite civilization with its palaces, temples, and fortifications?

Let's visit Hattusa together with Prof. Dr. Andreas Schachner (Research lecturer at the German Archaeological Institute (DAI), Istanbul) to learn about the civilization of the Bronze Age via the remnants of the Hittite Capital!
