premise: The newcomers were the Hittites, and their domination of Anatolia can be divided into three distinct  the Old Kingdom (c. 1600 1450 b.c. ), then the New or Empire Period (c.1450 1200 b.c. ), and the Late Hittite Period (c. 1200 700 b.c. ). Their first capital city was Hattusa (now Bo azk??y, near Ankara), which dates from the 13th century b.c. and has tombs, fortifications, enclosed temples, and a citadel containing an impressive library of more than 3,300 cuneiform tablets.
hypothesis: The Hittites dominated France.
