EDITORS COMMENTS
Bogazkale, also known as Hattusa, was the ancient capital city of the Hittite Empire, located in modern-day Turkey. This breathtaking image captures the Lion Gate, one of the five magnificent gates of the city's fortified wall. Dating back to the Imperial Hittite period, this impressive structure showcases the extraordinary artistry and power of the Hittites during their reign. The Lion Gate stands tall and proud against the backdrop of the clear blue sky, with the warm sunlight casting a golden glow on its intricately carved surface. The exterior of the gate is adorned with stunning Asian-inspired motifs, including the distinctive lion figures that give the gate its name. The colorful details of the Hittite artistry are brought to life under the daylight, revealing the rich history and culture of this ancient civilization. The Lion Gate is a testament to the grandeur and might of the Hittites during the Ottoman period. Its horizontal design, which is typical of Hittite architecture, adds to its imposing presence and creates a sense of awe and wonder. The gate is not only an architectural marvel but also a reminder of the Asian and Turkish influences that shaped the history of this region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Hittite Empire ruled the lands of Anatolia. It is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of ancient civilizations and the enduring power of art and culture.
