Please Help Click Here Probably originating from the area beyond the Black Sea, the Hittites first occupied central Anatolia, making their capital at Hattusa (modern Bogazköy). Early kings of the Hittite Old Kingdom, such as Hattusilis I (reigned c. 1650-c. 1620 BC), consolidated and extended Hittite control over much of Anatolia and northern Syria. Hattusilis' grandson Mursilis I raided down the Euphrates River to Babylon, putting an end (c. 1590 BC) to the Amorite dynasty there. After the death of Mursilis, a dynastic power struggle ensued, with Telipinus finally gaining control about 1530 BC. In the noted Edict of Telipinus, long upheld by succeeding generations, he attempted to end lawlessness and to regulate the royal succession. After Telipinus historical records are scarce until the Hittite New Kingdom, or empire (c. 1400-c. 1200 BC). Under Suppiluliumas I (c. 1380-c. 1346 BC), the empire reached its height. Except for a successful campaign against Arzawa in southwestern Anatolia, Suppiluliumas' military career was devoted to involved struggles with the kingdom of Mitanni to the southeast and to the establishment of a firm Hittite foothold in Syria.

Anatolia is a high plateau region rising progressively towards the east, broken by the valleys of about 15 rivers, including the Dicle (Tigris) and the Firat (Euphrates. There are numerous lakes and some, such as Lake Van, are as large as inland seas. In the north, the Eastern Black sea Mountain chain runs parallel to the Black sea; in the south, the Taurus Mountains sweep down almost to the narrow, fertile coastal plain along the coast. Turkey enjoys a variety of climates, changing from the temperate climate of the Black Sea region, to the continental climate of the interior, then to the Mediterranean climate of the Aegean and Mediterranean coastal regions. The coastline of Turkey's four seas is more than 8.333 km. along.

As of 1950 B.C., Anatolia entered the period of written history. A rich cultural and commercial exchange between the Assyrians and the Late Hatties in Anatolia took place during the period of the Assyrian Trade Colonies. Close to twenty trade centres (Karums) were astablished. The Kaniþ karum at Kültepe was the most important centre Many remains left over from this period have been found at Kültepe, Acemhöyük, Aliþar and Boðazköy excavations. The Urartus who farmed a state surrounding Lake Van with their capital Tushba (Van) in the early 1 st millenium B.C. contributed greatly to our cultural inheritance. The Urartus who lived their golden age during the 9th - 8th centuries B.C., were especially experienced in ivory works. Urartian works discovered at Altýntepe, Toprakkale, Ç'avuþtepe, Adilcevaz, Patnos, Kayalýdere and other Urartian towns exhibited in our museums. The Urartu state expired in the 600's B.C. and the Persians took over Anatolia. Persian occupation continued during 545-333 B.C.

Extractions: Figure 1.. Persia is not one of the early cradles of civilization and Persian civilization did not develop in river valley. Persian civilization developed east of the Fertile Crescent on the Iranian plateau of central Asia. The Iranian plateau was not settled until about 1500 BC by Aryan tribes, especially the Medes. The name Persian comes from the Parsua, another Aryan tribe. Alexander defeated Darius III in battles 334-331 BC, destroying the Persian Empire. Alexander hoped to unite the Greeks and Persians into one great empire. He incorporated Persian soldietrs into his army. He demanded that his important officers, all Macedonians, take Persian wives. His early death undid these ambitious plans (323 BC). Following a civil war among his generals, Seleucus Nicator, gained control over much of Alexander's Empire, except for Greece itself and Egypt. Seleucus conquured Babylon (312 BC). He annexed it to Persia, lands as farv east as the Indus River, Syria and Analtolia. At the same time Potolomy gained control of Egypt. Unlike Alexander's plans, Seleucus ruled Persia as a conquered land through Greek troops and satraps. Persia for nearly 5 centuries was ruled as a province of the Selecuid Empire. The Parthians overthrew the Greeks, who were unable to generate Persian support, about 250 B.C. The Parthians came from the deserts of central Asia. Unlike the Greeks, they were impressed with Persian civilization and ruled Persian through native kings. The Parthian empire lasted more than four centuries and during that period there was no important Persian revolt. The Parthians were one of the few people who successfully resisted the Roman Empire, desimating a Roman army led by Anthony. This played a major role in the defeat of Anthony and Cldeopatra by Octavian. Gradually Christianity spread to Persia and the power of the Parthians wained.

Extractions: About 10,000 years ago, human groups in several areas of the world began to undergo a series of major transformations. Small groups of hunters and gatherers settled into the world's first farming villages. From these villages arose larger settlements, and eventually complex urban civilizations like our own. How and why did these changes take place? Why did ancient civilizations evolve in repeated cycles of expansion and collapse? What do the similarities and differences in the development of early civilizations tell us about the nature of culture change, of civilization and the state, and of human society itself?

Extractions: The Bactra Review: Occasional and eclectic book reviews by Cosma Shalizi London: British Museum Press, 1998 The nice thing about modern myths (as opposed to the ancient ones) is that most of them have left broad paper trails, and we can track them pretty easily, sometimes even to their lairs, to the books, if not the heads, in which they first appeared. The myth of the Great Goddess is almost ideally suited to scholarly hunting, since it has a very definite point of origin and author: the Swiss-German academic J. J. Bachofen, in his book Das Mutterrecht Prior to the nineteenth century, and even for the most part up to Bachofen's day, the historical world accessible to most educated Europeans went back three thousand years at the outside and barely extended beyond the Mediterranean basin. Peering back through the Middle Ages, they saw Rome, Greece and Israel, and some flickers that vaguely resembled Egypt and Babylon, these last largely derived from the mystical gibberish of late antiquity; China, Persia and India were smears occasionally useful to satirists. Bachofen's mundane job, as a professor of Roman law, was supposed to put him in touch with hoariest antiquity. One of the great achievements of western thought in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was to make this ancestral vision quaint
