Abstract
Hittite religion is a blend of diverse cultural streams. While it includes features from the immigrant Indo-European peoples linguistically attested by the Hittite language, its main foundation consists of Hattian traditions, that is, of the people living in central Anatolia prior to the arrival of the Indo-Europeans. Furthermore, over time, it adopted beliefs and practices from Hurrian (the people of north Mesopotamia and Syria) as well as Akkado-Sumerian and Syrian religion. This amalgam is richly attested in the thousands of documents found at Bogazköy, Turkey, the site of Hattusha, the ancient Hittite capital.
