...Sapinuwa, also known as Šapinuwa in Hittite, was a significant Bronze Age city of the Hittite Empire, located in modern Ortaköy, Çorum province, Türkiye, approximately 70 kilometers east of the Hittite capital, Hattusa. This ancient city served as one of the major religious and administrative centers of the Hittites, functioning as a military base and occasionally housing several Hittite kings.
The identification of Ortaköy as the site of ancient Sapinuwa began when a local farmer discovered two clay cuneiform tablets in his field and reported the find to the Çorum Museum. This discovery prompted a survey in 1989, leading to further archaeological investigations and additional findings that have contributed to our understanding of this historically significant site...
The Hittite linen fabric, a rare specimen in the context of Turkish archaeology, underwent rigorous analysis at both the Middle East Technical University and Ankara University shortly after its excavation. Confirmed to originate from the 14th century BCE, this invaluable piece has been preserved in the storage facilities of the Çorum Museum.

The connection from Hittite to Hitler is inescapable, spanning as it does much of the history of the civilized world.
...the Ethiopian Dynasty, however, is the only one that in the conventionally written history of Egypt, maintains its proper place. During the Nineteenth Dynasty the error of the accepted Egyptian chronology reached the high figure of over 700 years; and together with it the time of the contemporaneous rulers of the so-called Hittite Empire is equally misplaced by over 700 years.(1) Finally the Twentieth Dynasty -- that of Ramses III and his adversaries -- Peoples of the Sea -- needs to be brought closer to our time by a full 800 years and placed just a few decades before Alexander of Macedon. The Twenty-first Dynasty began under the Persian kings, continued contemporaneous with the Twentieth -- its rulers reigned in the Libyan Desert oases -- and lasted until the second Ptolemy.Collected Essays | History and Archaeology

"Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing was frowned upon, you know, ‘cause I've worked in a lot of offices and I tell you people do that all the time."

Potato chips? Just kidding. Red Dot used to be a chip brand, at least in my area. As kids, as a class trip, we toured their factory.
