Hurrians and Hittites
Hurrians and Hittites 1---1261
The Hurri (Churriter, Churri, Hurri) are human groups that settled from Mesopotamia to Lake Van in eastern Anatolia during the second millennium BC. They made invasions towards and south, deep into the Fertile Crescent, and also invaded westward, deep into Anatolia. The Hurrians are one of the peoples of the ancient East. Their motherland was in the areas surrounding Lake Van (Van), eastern Turkey. Their origins go back to the Indo-Aryan group of peoples, and they may have had previous connections with the Caucasus regions.
They pushed towards the south at the beginning of the second half of the third millennium BC, and spread in the areas located between the foothills of Mount Zagros and the south of Arbakha (Kirkuk), the Syrian Jazira, and the upper course of the Tigris River. They are known in Akkadian sources as “Soberto”, and the geographic meaning of the name has expanded. To include the people and language as well.
Hurrians and Hittites 1---717
In Hurrian and Hittite mythology (which flourished in the mid- to late 2nd millennium BC), the older generation of gods were believed to have been banished by younger gods to the underworld, where they were ruled by the goddess Liluani. Hittite scribes identified these gods with the Anunnaki. In the ancient Hurrians, the Anunnaki were referred to as karuileš šiuneš, meaning "former ancient gods", or kattereš šiuneš, meaning "earth gods". Hittite and Hurrian treaties were often concluded by the ancient gods to ensure the fulfillment of oaths. In one myth, the gods are threatened by the stone giant Ullikummi, so Ea (the later name of Enki) orders the former gods to find the weapon that was used to separate the heavens from the earth. They found him and used him to cut off Olekomi's feet.
