Overview of your Ankara tour

The glorious ancient peoples, Hittites founded the first kingdom of Anatolia around 1800 BC. For hundreds of years, they had been the rivals of Egyptians as the two major powers of the world. The seat of their long-lived kingdom was Hattusa where archaeologists found thousands of red-clay cuneiform tablets with an enormous variety of topics inscribed on them including the first written treaty and the first written correspondence between the two empresses in the world. The ever-glorious Hittite capital covers a massive area of 250 acres. I've guided tours in this idyllic sight with fantastic views and mind-blowing historical artifacts for 26 years. Would you like to join me for a fun day? ALL TOURS ON THIS ACCOUNT ARE OPERATED BY MY LEGAL EMPLOYER: DEMAVEND TRAVEL AGENCY TURSAB LICENCE N0: 4377 COMPANY TITLE: CAMTUR TUR. INS. GIDA AKAR. NAK.
