The Hittites established the capital of their empire at Hattusa around 1600 BCE. This is in modern-day Turkey. The Hittite kingdom grew throughout the next 400 years to encompass areas of Asia Minor/Anatolia, the northern Levant, and Upper Mesopotamia.

Anatolia makes up the westernmost portion of Asia which makes up most of modern-day Turkey. The Levant is an area that consists of southern Turkey, Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria. Upper Mesopotamia is located in modern-day southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iraq, and northeastern Syria.
