Hurrians

The Hurrians were an ancient people who inhabited the Near East, especially the regions of modern-day Turkey, Iraq, and Syria, around 2500 to 1200 BCE. They had their own language and culture, and played a significant role in early civilizations like the Hittites and Mitanni. The Hurrians were known for their rich mythology, skilled craftsmanship, and influence on regional politics. Though they eventually assimilated into other cultures, their legacy persists through archaeological findings, texts, and their contributions to the history of the ancient Middle East.
