Uncovering the Earliest Cimmerian Settlement in Anatolia.

Excavations in Turkey's Kırıkkale province have revealed that Büklükale village was the first settlement of the Cimmerians, an ancient equestrian nomadic people, in Anatolia. The artifacts shed light on the Cimmerians and reveal evidence of warfare within the constructed fortress. Büklükale is located about 100 kilometers from Ankara, Turkey’s capital city, where the road from Ankara to Kaman passes the Kızılrmak, Turkey’s longest river.
