Hello my friends. One of the biggest reasons I wanted to return to Cappadocia was my desire to see this legendary city. Before coming here, I had read a lot about this place and the mysterious Hittite Empire and I had seen the discussions on Reddit. That is why my curiosity was huge. And I had a pretty good idea of what was waiting for me. But after exploring it, I can say that Hattusa is an ancient city way beyond my expectations. This place is mentioned in the same era as Babylon and Thebes and it hosted the secrets of one of the most powerful empires of the Bronze Age. It is located 250 kilometers from the fairytale valleys of Cappadocia that I mentioned on my previous post and 200 kilometers from modern day Ankara.
