Hittites

[Psion]

I am beginning a scenario for the ancient middle east, and one of the civilizations I want to include is the hittites. The problem is, I can't find any names of cities for the Hittite civilization. If anyone knows where I could find names of Hittite cities, pls tell me. Thanx in advance.

Trés cool-
These are the most important Hittite cities:

Hattusa (capital)
Carcemish
Kanesh
Alalach
Halab
Cushshar
Chashshu
Tilbarsip
Comana
Canis
Beyecsultan
Tyann
Adana
Tarsus
Carga
Masat
Emirgazi
Iflatupunar
Gavurcale
Hanyeri
Sirkeli
Fasiler
------
There are alot of other cities from the time of the Hittite city-states between 1200 and 700 BC.

FYI, here are some Mitanni cities:

Washukanni (Capital)
Harran
Amida
Tirka
Assur
Niniveh
Arbela
Nuzi
Kar-Tukutti-Ninurta
Arapkha

(The latter ones are Mitanni dominations, most of 'em in Assyria).

Both theHittites and the Assyrians had posessions in Syria- but during the early times, these were under the rule of Egypt.

Just a few words about hittites cities: many of the cities in upper lists are from NEO-HITTITE period ( that's what i mean - these cities were founded AFTER the fall of Hittites' empire )- example: Karatepe ( was the residence of the king Asitawanda, the last of hittite kings - we still don't know the hittite name ), Marash, Khatti, Kumukki.
Oh, i forgot a hint: The old Kultepe name was Karum Kanesh ( it cames from Assyrian - "old market" or something ).
