Unknown Ancient Civilization.

If mentioned about ancient cultures and stunning, what is stopping in your mind? Perhaps you will answer the Inca, Aztec, Egyptian, or ancient Greek. Though there are many other ancient cultures were also instrumental to the development of history.

Ancient cultures following equally amazing and invite the question mark when compared with ancient civilizations mentioned earlier. Even some of them older and culture gives much influence to the ancient civilizations that we know today. But for various reasons, ranging from lack of historical evidence to the lack of research on the ruins of the site causing prehistoric cultures is less well known.

Hatti.

Hatti is an ancient civilization that used to occupy the area of ​​Anatolia, Turkey. This civilization is most likely derived from the 26th century to 18 BC. Hatti population is believed to be the people who created the oldest urban areas. Most archaeologists believe that the residents of Hatti was the first resident who inhabit Anatolia region before the more famous Hittite civilization. While the Hittites arrived in Anatolia 23 century BC. Hatti culture is the root of Hittite culture. These two cultures slowly acculturated and Het adopting religious beliefs and practices Hatti. Then cultural identity Hatti was blended into Hittite culture.

Their existence is not much left of historical evidence. Can only be traced through artifacts tablets Akkadian nation. Hatti nation is likely to have its own spoken language, but there is no written evidence about him has ever been found.

Zapotec.

Aztec and Maya cultures appears to be the most ancient human civilizations known in the Americas. But in addition to two cultures that are known for having advanced knowledge for its time it was still there Zapotec culture that history is not widely known.

Zapotec civilization is pre-Colombus civilization that flourished in the Valley of Oaxaca, the American continent. Archaeological evidence shows that their civilization can be traced back to 2500 years ago. They left archaeological evidence in the ancient city of Monte Alban. Zapotec nation once founded a city with advanced architecture that is now known by the name of Monte Alban. This city is home to 25,000 residents for more than 1,200 years.

Like most ancient civilization in Mesoamerica, Zapotec civilization disappeared from the world. But not known with certainty the cause of the downfall of that culture. Their biggest cities mostly left intact, to collapse on itself because of the times inedible. Some experts believe the failure of an economic system that encourages downfall Zapotec. The absence of livelihood caused the Zapotec population migrated to other areas and leave their cities for granted.

Hurri.

Hurri nation are ethnic groups that inhabit the North Mesopotamia and the surrounding area during the Bronze Age. Hurri state is known as the most powerful and influential is the Mitanni kingdom. One of their largest cities known as Urkesh and is located in the northeast of Syria. Urkes is the location of the discovery of ancient texts, tablets of stone, and the sculpture which is now known as the Louvre lion. Empire residents Hittites in Anatolia which is the nation's many Hurri, and there was a great cultural influence Hurri against the Hittites and Hittite mythology. Although believed to be the nation that tends nomadic, modern archaeologists believe that Hurri may have a great impact on the development of culture in the surrounding civilizations. This is evident from their different languages ​​from the Semitic and Indo-European culture in the other.

Empire residents Hittites in Anatolia which is the nation's many Hurri, and there was a great cultural influence Hurri against the Hittites and Hittite mythology. Although believed to be the nation that tends nomadic, modern archaeologists believe that Hurri may have a great impact on the development of culture in the surrounding civilizations. This is evident from their different languages ​​from the Semitic and Indo-European culture in the other.

However, at the end of the second millennium BC, almost all traces of ethnic Hurri has disappeared. Their history is written in the language of Hurri found in Mesopotamian artifacts. Unfortunately, very few artefacts made by the Hurri themselves were found. Most of their history comes from the writings of other cultures, including Hittite, Sumerian, and Egyptian.

Nok.

Nok is an ancient civilization that once inhabited the area of ​​Nigeria. Nok civilization flourished during the first millennium BC, before finally disappearing without obvious cause in the next century. Some theories mention the cause of the collapse of this civilization is the excessive exploitation of natural resources resulting decline in population numbers. Although it is believed as one of the oldest civilizations in Africa, very little evidence of their existence and therefore difficult to study.

Modern archaeologists believe that the Nok culture has an important role in the development of other cultures in the vicinity such as Yoruba and Benin. Nok nation seems to have the knowledge and spirit of high art, seen from the evidence of historical relics such as terracotta statues around the site of ancient settlement Nok. They are also the first African to know the techniques of iron smelting, although it is believed that the technology was introduced to another culture, the possibility of Carthage.

Norte Chico.

Nation Norte Chico is considered to inhabit South America since the third millennium BC. Their heyday lasted for more than 1,200 years and is known as the oldest culture with advanced technology in the Americas. Norte Chico civilization centers located in the area of ​​Peru.
They have 20 large cities with sophisticated architecture and agriculture dominate their settlements. Apparently they also have developed an elaborate irrigation system which was not known at that time.

Norte Chico has a huge influence for cultural development in South America afterwards. One of them is the Chavin civilization that began several hundred years after the fall of the Norte Chico. But just like other ancient cultures, not much historical evidence about this culture are found and can be learned.

Elam.

An ancient civilization that was originally called Haltam. But he is better known in history by the name Elam derived from Hebrew. Because the history of this ancient culture is more widely known through the ancient Hebrew manuscripts.

Elam civilization was once controlled most of the territory that is now part of the Iranian nation and a small part of Iraq. Elam is one of the oldest civilizations were established around the third millennium BC and until today the oldest culture found throughout Iran. They have a language that is very unique and different when compared with ancient culture around it.

Elam seems scholars do not view the importance of documenting the mythology, literary, or scientific advances them so evidence of their contribution to the world civilization can hardly be traced. And for that reason anyway Elam less known in modern times when compared with the culture of ancient Egypt and Sumeria.
