Kültepe

Kültepe is an archaeological site in Turkey that was once a major ancient city and trading hub around 2000-1700 BCE. It is known for its well-preserved cuneiform tablets, which provide valuable insights into early Assyrian and Anatolian civilizations. The site was part of an important network connecting Mesopotamia with Anatolia, facilitating trade, cultural exchange, and the development of early urban society. Today, Kültepe helps historians understand the origins of written language, commerce, and social organization in the Bronze Age.
