A recreated Hittite village, which is set to be built in the Central Anatolian province of Çorum, home to the ancient site of Hattusha, will revive the life of the Hittite kingdom 3,500 years ago.
The ancient site is notable for its cuneiform inscriptions, one of the most important discoveries at the site, consisting of official correspondence and contracts, as well as legal codes, procedures for cult ceremonies, oracular prophecies and literature of the ancient Near East. The cuneiforms entered the UNESCO Memory of the World list in 2001.
Once the capital of the Hittite kingdom, Hattusha is the only ancient site on both UNESCO lists. Today, the site is located in the Boğazkale district, which has become a national park.
