EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, published in the Illustrated London News on the 18th of December 1948, offers a glimpse into the ancient world of the Hittite Empire, specifically the Karum of Kanes, an ancient Anatolian trade center. The photograph, taken by Turkish archaeologists Tahsin and Nimet Ozguc, showcases the meticulously excavated ruins of this once-thriving commercial hub. Located in modern-day Turkey, the Karum of Kanes is believed to be the birthplace of the Hittite Empire, which emerged around 1600 BCE and lasted until its decline in 1180 BCE. The site, situated near the sacred city of Hattusa, was a crucial junction for trade routes connecting Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The photograph reveals the intricate layout of the Karum, with its neatly arranged rows of shops and storerooms, each with their distinctive conical roofs. The excavations conducted by the Ozgucs unearthed a wealth of artifacts, including pottery, jewelry, and textiles, providing valuable insights into the daily life and commerce of the ancient Anatolian civilization. This photograph is a testament to the groundbreaking archaeological work carried out in the late 1940s, shedding light on the rich history of the Hittite Empire and its role in the ancient world. The Karum of Kanes continues to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts alike, offering a fascinating window into the past.
