Wahiti

hivi (buluu).]]
**Wahiti** walikuwa wakazi wa Anatolia (leo nchini Uturuki) ambao mwaka 1600 KK hivi walianzisha dola lenye makao makuu huko Hattusa.

Dola lilifikia kilele cha ustawi wake katikati ya karne ya 14 KK walipotawala sehemu kubwa ya Uturuki wa leo pamoja na Siria, Lebanoni na Iraq kaskazini.

Kijeshi walifaidika sana na matumizi ya magari ya vita ya kukokotwa na farasi.

Baada ya mwaka 1180 KK hivi dola lilisambaratika.

Lugha yao ilikuwa mojawapo ya lugha za Kihindi-Kiulaya.

Katika Biblia wanazungumziwa mara kadhaa wakiwa na uhusiano mwema na Waisraeli.
