turkey = .tr, Türkei, Turquía, Turquie, Turquia, Turchia

The Turkish spelling is 'Alaca Höyük'.
All Hittite buildings had only the first few courses built from stone (this 'socle' was no higher than 1.5m), with the remaining elevation constructed from timber frames, mud bricks and earth in-fill — none of which has survived.

The Turkish spelling is 'Alaca Höyük'.
The bicephalous (two-headed) eagle was the main heraldic symbol of the Hittites. A quick Google search of the internet will lead you to numerous web sites that cite as a fact that the Hittites were the first to use this symbol, and that other uses of the two-headed eagle (e.g. Byzantium, Russia, Germany and Albania) derive either directly or indirectly from the Hittite version. One even claims that the Roman (single-headed) eagle was based on it. I'm not qualified to comment on the truth of any of this, but it is all fascinating.
