We know little yet about Hatti Culture
that fluorished in Cenral part of Turkey. We know that since 3rd
millenium BC. the name given by the Mesopotamian civilizationas to the
native people of Anatolia was Hatti. This
civilization was probably away from being an organized
political power, but created some noteworthy works of art.
They seem like to have made the path for the later
civilization called Hittites that occupied the same area
in Central Turkey. Some scholars tend to believe that
Hatti and Hittites might be the same people, but we know
that Hittites entered Anatolia a little bit later, and
originated from Caucasus area. So, we don't yet have any
concrete information to support the idea that they
could be the same people. Actually, about the time Hatti
people lived in Turkey, we don't see any central power
that could rule this vast land, only later it was
Hittites to do that.
