Hittites - of Mesopotamia - Combined Indo-European and native
people in Asia Minor formed the Hittite kingdom, c. 1750 BCE. The
capital of the Hittite kingdom was Hattusha, now called Bogazköy in
modern Turkey. The Hittites began to spread outward by
1600 BCE, and began to establish an empire. After years of
conflict, the Hittites established a non-aggression treaty with Egyptian
pharaoh Ramesses II. The Hittite Empire was destroyed, c. 1200
BCE, by invaders from the sea.
