There also live there were cavers who carve lion with arched stones and they seen the lions as protection . Protection from their enemy’s so when they seen the 7 foot statue they would recognize the power that the hittis had. Also lions guarded several temple entrances and portals to the royal palace as well. Another thing was that the lions had their teeth clenched, their tongues hanging out from their mouth and wide eyes alerting their enemies. Now the empire of Hittite started between 1343­1200 B.C where the first ruler call Hattusili I that establish the first royal bloodline of the royal families. Anatolian people stayed in the empire north of Anatolian where there were mountains they may have live on. Another thing about the people was their empire reached it height in mid 14 century BC under their king who was call suppiluliuma I. Next the empire did come to know areas of different cultures in upper levant and upper Mesopotamia that knew of there protection of the lion gate. Though after 1180 BC, the great empire came to an end while in the bronze age collapse but the lion may have still remain there. Although dividing into several independent city and states know as Neo­ Hittite , but last up until 8th century. Also in the land of the Hittite people there spoke in a language that was even a member of the a branch with the Anatolian

Hatti, where their identification from being hittites came from the bible where the lion gate went back as farthest the hittites tribes. Finally The city itself is of a small fertile plain and it also stretches to the south of the land rising up about 3,000 ft making the point of the city .

In 2011 the country of turkey (“modern day hattusha”) did threated Germany to imposed restrictions of their work. Although turkey did finally get the sphinx back to there home and were satisfied as well.
