Incredible Polygonal Stonework of Alaca Höyük, Ancient Turkey | Ancient Architects

I recently made a video on the enigmatic green stone of Hattusa, which sits inside the old Hittite capital and sparked a huge amount of interest on the Ancient Architects channel. You can watch the video here: It is yet another gem of Ancient Turkey, which historically speaking, really is one of the richest parts of the world. The Hittite civilisation is something I’ve rarely discussed over the years because it’s never been a strong area of interest, really because of my own lack of knowledge, but every time I start some new research, I come across something created by the Hittites that really takes my breath away. The subject of this video is the incredible megalithic ruins of Alaca Höyük, a settlement in the Alaca district of Corum, Turkey, which is situated around 25 km northeast of the Hittite capital, Hattusa.
