[Judi Lynn]

The 3,300-year-old bronze helmet, which was unearthed during the 2002 excavations in Şapinuva, one of the important cult centers of the Hittite Empire, is among the rare artifacts that have survived from the Hittite Empire period.

The Hittite helmet, which was discovered during the excavations at the Şapinuva ruins in the Ortaköy district of Çorum, located in the center of Turkey, have been published by Dr. Mustafa Süel in 2002 and introduced to the scientific world.

The bronze helmet was discovered in 2002 in the building called Building D. This structure, besides the discovery of this important discovery, is also quite remarkable with its structure that is encountered for the first time in Hittite architecture.

While the building shows a rectangular plan structure with its external appearance, there is an L-shaped hall and spaces arranged inside this hall.
