MOTIVES OF CABINETS FRANCE

Full effectively we might conjecture that the lengthy halt of the columns on the Prutah, is attributable to issues relative to the potential of a hearty alliance, offensive and defensive, between France and England. The Northern Cupboard has in all probability had misgivings on this level, and is alive to the actual fact, that the union of those powers is but amply able to bidding defiance to the world,—of triumphantly defending the good in tersest of which they’re the becoming guardians,— nay, of rolling again the tide of a brute ambition, and of setting impassable bounds to the progress or the pretensions of each different state, nevertheless stupendous its means, obsequious its allies, limitless its views, or astute its proceedings!


It’s fairly doable, nevertheless, that an unreflecting jealousy of the naval energy of Britain, adroitly labored upon, could also be a bar in the best way of this cordial cooperation:—for on the continent it’s continuously forgotten that this can be a mere impact and never a trigger, —an impact which should equally circulation from the business and commerce, maritime help in any other case, of some other nation, if pursued in an equally steady, spirited, and enterprising method.


However in reference to the motives of different cupboards, in hazarding a battle of opinion or of conduct with ours, there’s however an excessive amount of purpose to conclude that a great deal of reliance is positioned upon our presumed or not less than confidently proclaimed monetary embarrassments. It is rather evident that fixed incitements to this calculation have been afforded.


No sooner are the receipts of any class on this nation (particularly if an prosperous one) more likely to endure the slightest diminution, than straight each enginery of affect is introduced into play, and an anticipatory outcry raised that’s heard in all instructions. In no nation on this planet the place fact and common rules are in any diploma understood, is that this species of man oeuvre so unbecomingly exhibited.


Approaching common damage


An approaching common damage and chapter are on these events invariably introduced and unscrupulously insisted on, each at residence and overseas; with a purpose to get hold of a extra prepared com pliancy with some particular exemption or legislative enactment favorable to the get together alleging itself aggrieved; and thus the moderating impartiality and controlling discretion of the federal government is however too usually subdued to the needs of the complainants.


The truth of the poor man’s misery is all this time ignored, or made use of two level some collateral argument, as matter for some obscure harangue; or maybe is dilated on with stoical magnanimity, as a salutary test to inhabitants. It had been uncandid to claim, that these representations are, in all instances, fallacious; however definitely it’s not the distresses of essentially the most distressed that are most loudly trumpeted.

As they've however few good wells

Unbounded was the enjoyment and congratulation of the courtiers on thus assembly with him protected and unhurt. The king then turning spherical to the poor fisherman, knowledgeable him that he was the monarch wltom he had a lot praised, and whom he had so humanely and hoporably acquired the foregoing night, and that he would possibly rely on him that his singular courtesy and good-will mustn’t go unrewarded.


Now, there have been sure hunting-lodges which the king had erected in these components for the comfort which they afforded in his excursions, and a number of other of his nobles had likewise adorned the encompassing nation with numerous seats and different dwellings, in order to provide a satisfying aid to the prospect. With the view of bestowing a good-looking remuneration upon the great fisherman, the grateful monarch gave orders that the swimming pools and marshes adjoining to those dwellings ought to be drained.


Cesar Elcabir or the Nice Palace


He then circumscribed the bounds of a noble metropolis, comprehending the palaces and homes already erected, and after conferring upon it numerous wealthy immunities, by which it shortly turned each very populous and highly effective, he named the place Cesar Elcabir or the Nice Palace, and introduced it as a token of his gratitude to the sincere fisherman.


On the interval when his sons succeeded to it, no metropolis all through the king`s dominions was to be in contrast with it in level of splendor and great thing about look. In the course of the time I remained there it was stuffed with retailers and artisans of each description. The mosques have been extraordinarily grand, nor have been the universities and hospitals much less worthy of admiration.


As they’ve however few good wells, the cisterns and different public conduits are very massive and quite a few. The inhabitants of the locations I visited are on the whole liberal and kind-hearted males, of straightforward manners, and neat and plain of their gown and look. The gardens are directly spacious and exquisite, abounding in all types of fruits, which provide a weekly market, the emporium of all the encompassing nation. It’s located not above eighteen miles distant from Azella, now referred to as Arzilla, within the possession of the Portuguese.


Now, easy as the entire of this story might seem, it should a minimum of be discovered to inculcate one lovely ethical: it teaches us to behave politely in direction of each one, courtesy being, like advantage, its personal reward, and certain of assembly ultimately, as within the occasion of the poor fisherman, that reward right here under.

Provinces of Turkey in Europe

Between Serbs and Bulgars there’s a type of private antipathy not simply to be accounted for ; and in weighing the worth of the feedback they move upon one another, you could make allowance for the exaggeration inseparable from racial prejudices. Fairly aside from the animosity engendered by the late battle, there are numerous causes of dissension between the 2 nations. The query whether or not the Sclavs within the non-liberated provinces of Turkey in Europe are by rights Bulgars or Serbs is a matter which excites the keenest controversy between the dual Balkan States.


Each nations are extravagantly happy with their conventional, I would virtually say their legendary, grandeur in bygone days ; and each look on the opposite as interlopers, if not impostors. My very own opinion is, that although the Servians have maybe higher claims to signify the Sclav nationality previously, the Bulgarians have a greater declare to signify it sooner or later. Definitely, if the 2 nations are to be judged by their Capitals, Bulgaria stands on the next stage than Servia. Belgrade has many benefits of place and custom to which Sofia could make no pretension.


Mendacity because it does on the junction of the Danube and the Save, Belgrade is likely to be made a far finer metropolis than Sofia is ever prone to change into.


On a ridge between the 2 rivers


Furthermore, aside from the great thing about its website, standing because it does on a ridge between the 2 rivers, town has historic associations of which the Bulgarian Capital is completely devoid. Belgrade, with its scores of sieges, has a previous of which her inhabitants are justly proud; whereas Sofia owes her pre-eminence merely and solely to the truth that, throughout the final twenty years, the Russians chosen her because the metropolis of the province which that they had simply snatched from Turkey, and which they meant to make their very own.


Servia, once more, is indebted for her emancipation to a local rising underneath a local chief, whereas Bulgaria was let loose by international intervention. However all this, Belgrade has way more of the look of an Oriental metropolis than a lot of the Bulgarian cities. The small, indifferent villas which line the chief streets of Sofia are virtually unknown in Belgrade.


There have been few indicators of constructing anyplace. The streets are in poor health paved, every part in regards to the city appears untidy and unprosperous. The retailers will not be so good as these of the principal cities in Bulgaria. There are tram-lines in the primary road traversed by the most typical open-air vehicles I’ve ever seen anyplace.

Fleet of the Marmara

Encouraged by those circumstances, the fleet of the Marmora, supported, perhaps, by steam frigates, will debouch from the straits and hazard a general action.


Great as the numerical odds may be against us, they will be driven back under the guns of their castles, but after a heavy loss on our side. Bad weather comes on; our disabled ships must proceed to refit at Malta; the hostile fleet, being close to the amplest resources, will of course be ready for sea, and reinforced much quicker than ours can be.


They will again come forth from their strong hold. The small British squadron then remaining in the Archipelago, will make a daring effort, but, from total disparity of numbers, with ill success; they willful back, pursued by the enemy, upon Malta.


The ships repairing at that place boldly come out of the harbor, though but half refitted, and inadequately manned. An engagement ensues, indecisive in its results but owing to the previous condition of our squadrons, they are necessitated to return into port.


The British reinforcements and supplies for the Mediterranean will have been delayed or reduced in amount by the sinister, and finally hostile, conduct of Spain and the United States; and the consequent necessity of increasing the force in the Tagus, the St Lawrence, and the West Indies, and of blockading Cadiz, Corunna, New York, and the Havana, where a Russian squadron will, perhaps, have been stationed.


For the first time, during a long period of the naval history of this country, a British port (Malta) will be regularly invested by an enemy’s fleet, strengthened by the numerous frigates and lighter vessels from the Grecian islands and Moran


Peninsula. The Muscovite troops will now be rapidly brought over from Sicily, and the siege of Valetta commenced.


The Autocrat, promptly availing himself of his superiority in the Mediterranean, dispatches a land force to Spain, with the full concurrence of the Spanish monarch, long ere then a mere puppet in the hands of some predatory premier, Jesuit confessor, or dignitary of the Holy Office personal Istanbul tours, who will have readily sold himself to the Czar under the influence, perhaps, of a similar prospect, with that which swayed our own Wolsey to the views of Charles.


Descents threatened


The investing lines of Gibraltar will be reconstructed descents threatened from Algeciras,   and a petitguerre of privateers, steamboats and small craft, carried on from thence against the bay and mole.


Cadiz and Corunna (possibly even Lisbon) will then be crowded with Russian and Spanish troops, ostensibly for the succor of Ireland, to enable it to throw off, as it will be termed, the English yoke.

Becoming a ruby

A friend whom yon have been gaining during your whole life, you ought not to IK; displeased within a moment. A stone is many years becoming a ruby, take care that you do not destroy it in an instant against another stone.


Resounding with the loud voice


Reason is under the power of sense; as a man becomes weak in the hand of an artful woman. Shut the door of that house of pleasure, which you hear resounding with the loud voice of a woman.


Power without design


A purpose without power, is fraud and deceit; and power without design, is ignorance and madness. The first requisites are judgment, prudence, awl wisdom, and then a kingdom ; because putting power and wealthier into the hand of the ignorant, is furnishing weapons against themselves.


Liberal man


The liberal man who eats and bestows, is better than the religious man who fasts and hoards. Whosoever hath forsaken luxury, to gain the approbation of mankind, hath fallen from lawful into unlawful voluptuousness. The hermit who sixtieth in retirement, not for the sake of God, what shall the hopeless wretch behold in a dark mirror? A little and a little collected together, become a great deal; the heap in the barn consists of single grains, and drop and drop form an inundation.


Suffer the insolence


A wise man ought not to suffer the insolence of a common person to pass unnoticed, as he thereby injures both parties; for his own respectability will be lessened, and the other confirmed in his ignorance. When you speak to a low fellow with kindness and benignity, it increases his arrogance perverseness.


Whomsoever committed


Sin, by whomsoever committed, is detestable, but most so in a learned man: because learning is the weapon for combating Satan; and if the armed man is taken prisoner, the greater will be his shame. An ignorant plebeian of dissolute manners, is better than a learned man without temperance: for that, through blindness, lost the road; and this, who had two eyes, fell into the well.


Famine in Egypt


He whose bread people do not eat in his lifetime, when he dies they mention not his name. Joseph the Just, when there was a famine in Egypt, ate not his fill, in order that he might not forget those who were hungry. The widow relishes grapes, and not the master of the vineyard, lie who lives in ease and wealth, how can he know what it is to be hungry? He knows the condition of the distressed, whose own circumstances are needy. 0 thou, who art mounted on a swift horse, reflect that the ass laden with thorns is sticking in the mud. Ask not fire from the house of the neighboring Durwesh, for that which issues from his chimney is the smoke of his heart.

They boast that their ancestors ruled at Ayodhya

History of the Deccan


The Vakataka power was followed by that of the Chalukyas of Badami who played an important role in the history of the Deccan and south India for about two centuries till A.D, 757, when they were overthrown by their feudatories, the Rashtrakutas. The Chalukyas claimed their descent either from Brahman or Manu or Moon They boast that their ancestors ruled at Ayodhya, but all this was done to claim legitimacy and respectability’ Really they seem to have been a local Kanarese people, who were improvised into the ruling varna under brahmanical influence.


The Chalukyas set up their kingdom towards the beginning of the sixth century A.D. in the western Deccan. They established their capital at Vatapi, modern Badami, in the district of. Bijapur which forms a part of Karnataka. Later they branched off into several independent ruling houses, but the mam branch continued to rule at Vatapi for two centuries in this period no other power in the Deccan was as important as the Chalukyas of Badami until we come to Vijayanagar in late medieval times.


On the Tipns of the Sdtavahana power in the eastern part of the peninsula there arose the Ikshvakus m the KrishnaGuntur region. They seem to have been a local tribe who adopted the exalted name of the Ikshvakus in order to demonstrate the antiquity of their lineage. They have left behind many monuments at Nagarjunakonda and Dharanikota They started the practice of land grants in the Krishna Guntur region, where several of their copperplate charters have been discovered The Ikshvakus were supplanted by the Pal lavas. The term pal lava means creeper, and is a Sanskrit version of the Tamil word today, which also carries the same meaning.


Toridainadu or the land


The Pallavas were possibly a local tribe who established their authority m the Toridainadu or the land of creepers. But it took them some time to be completely civilized because in Tamil the Word pal lava is also a synonym of robber. The authority of the Pallavas extended over both southern Andhra and northern Tamil Nadu. They set up their capital at Kanchi, identical with modem Kanchipuram which became a town of temples and Vedio learning under them, the early Pallavas came into conflict with the Kadambas, who had founded their rule in northern Karnataka in the fourth century A D They claim to be brahmanas, and they rewarded their fellow caste men generously.


The Kadamba kingdom was founded by Mayurasarman It is said that he came to receive education at Kanchi, but he was driven out unceremoniously. Smarting under this insult the Kadamba chief set up his camp in a forest, and defeated the Pallavas possibly with the help of the forest tribes.

The Servian nation thus connected itself most intimately with Russia

He had no doubt received the assurance that, in any peace which might be concluded, the affairs of Servia should not be neglected. Nothing could be more advantageous to the country than that its relations should be established in a treaty of peace between the two powers. This was the very guarantee the state required. The Servian nation thus connected itself most intimately with Russia; and must consequently participate in the perils and ^misfortunes, as well as in the success and pros  J? perity, of that empire.


Russia was now about to enter upon a war more perilous than any in which it had ever been engaged. The good understanding which had existed between that country and France, since the treaty arranged at Tilsit, and confirmed at Erfurt, had gradually diminished since 1810; and it became apparent to all Europe, that open war must ensue between the two empires. Soon afterwards an army such as Europe had never yet seen, was set in motion against Russia: under a general who must ever maintain his rank as one of the greatest military commanders of all ages.


A fierce struggle was impending over Russia: not merely for a trivial loss or gain : but such a decisive conflict as other nations had already sustained; involving her political existence: nay, indeed, the very life of the nation.


Napoleon’s object   in which he had succeeded with the German powers was now to prevail upon the Ottomans to involve themselves with him in this contest; and, as^the„Turks were already at war with Russia, his project seemed easy of accompli slnnent. In his treaty with Austria, Napoleon again acknowledged the integrity of. the Ottoman empirej and a secret article of that treaty stipulated that Turkey should be invited to join in the alliance against Russia. He flattered himself that, by pro


mising to the Ottomans the re conquest of the Crimea, he should induce them to take part in the war, and aid him with all their resources ; so that in a short time 100,000 Turks would overrun the interior of Russia. On the part of the French, it has always been asserted that Napoleon had too long delayed to make decisive proposals of this nature at Constantinople. His minister of foreign affairs asserted, in February, 1812, that the French ambassador there was doing nothing against the interest of Russia ; and an historian, who has seen many secret documents, declares that this was only too true, and that the ambassador was at that time ordered to maintain a strict reserve on the subject.


Perhaps it might be that Napoleon considered his proposals irresistible, at whatever time he might choose to make them; on account of the great oppor tunity which they afforded the Turks for re establishing their power. At the moment when lie opened the campaign of 1812 in earnest, he was by no means deficient in pressing invitations or in brilliant promises.

Touchstone proves

The touchstone proves what is gold; and the beggar, him who is stingy.” He said, “I speak of them from experience, for they keep a guard at their gate, and station rude violent men to deny admittance to their dearest friends; and these, seizing the collars of men of distinction, declare that nobody is at home ; and verily they say truly. He who hath neither wisdom, liberality, prudence, nor judgment, of him the porter says rightly, that, 4 No one is in the house.’


I replied,  In this they are excusable, because they are teased out of their lives with importunate solicitation, and tormented with beggarly petitions ; and it is a contradiction to reason to suppose that, if the sands of the desert were converted into pearls, they would satisfy the eyes of the beggars. The eye of an avaricious man cannot be satisfied with wealth, any more than a well can be filled by dew. Libation Tai was an inhabitant of the desert; had he dwelt in a city, he would have been overwhelmed by the importunities of beggars, who would have torn the clothes off his back,” He said, “I pity their condition.” I replied, “Not so, for you envy them their riches.”


We were talking thus, opposing force to force, when he advanced a pawn. I endeavored to repel it; and whenever he put my King in check, I relieved it by the Vizier, or Queen, until he had exhausted of all the coin in his course, and had spent all the arrows of the quiver of disputation. Take care not to throw down the shield when combating with an orator, who hath nothing but borrowed eloquence. Practice thou religion, and serve God, for the verbose orator, who measures his periods, exhibits arms before the gate, but there is nobody within side of the castle. At length, when having no arguments left, I had put him to shame, he became outrageous and spoke incoherently.


It is the way with the ignorant when confounded by the adversary’s arguments, to have recourse to violence ; as Azur, the idol-maker, when he could not convince his son Abraham by arguments, began to quarrel, as God hath said, ‘ Of a truth, if thou wilt not give up this point, I will stone thee.’ He gave abuse; I retorted harshly; he tore the collar of my garment, and I laid hold of his beard. We were tumbling over one another, and the people running after us, laughing and astonished at our conduct. In short, we referred our dispute to the Cazy, and agreed to abide by his impartial decision, in order that a Mahommedan judge might resolve what was advisable, and discriminate between the rich and the poor.

Women Have A High Sex Drive

American women are known for their enthusiastic approach to life and their attitude towards sex is about the same. 30% – or a third – are sex obsessed with above average sex drives, while almost a quarter of Polish women (24%) say they same, destroying the myth they are gorgeous but cold.


Czech women are recognised as having the prettiest faces in the world – disappointingly, they gave the lowest ratings when it comes to sex drive. Just 47% of Czech women say they have a high sex drive, and a mere 20% like to think of themselves as being more interested in sex than the average woman.


French and Dutch women view themselves in the same way: only 21% of both nationalities consider themselves demons in the bedroom and potentially being considered nymphomaniacs. The French are too romantic and Dutch women are beautiful but serious, believing everything should be enjoyed in moderation – even wild sex.


Belgian women are more reserved and reluctant to admit to being highly sexually charged and while they are beautiful, they are bordering on being called boring. Only 60% say they have a high sex drive, and just one-fifth of women confess to having sex on the brain all day, every day.


Founder and CEO of Victoria Milan, Sigurd Vedal, said the study revealed that women’s sex drives increase based on their standards of living. The more affluent and comfortable life is in a certain country, the more time the people have to enjoy sex.


“Scandinavian countries are globally recognised for their amazing standards of living – healthcare, salaries, living conditions and career opportunities are among the best in the world.


“The analysis shows that the more comfortable life is and once these elements have been taken care of, women feel powerful and sensual – and have the time to indulge and invest in their sex life. Women love sex, and they deserve it to have it whenever and wherever they want,” Mr Vedal said.


Victoria Milan is one of the world’s leading discreet social networks for men and women seeking a secret affair. The service was launched by media executive, Mr. Sigurd Vedal, in 2010, and has today become one of the world’s fastest-growing and leading social networks for discreet extramarital affairs, surpassing 5 million members worldwide in more than 33 countries.

The river that runs through Olympos village

Kadir’s hosts a large buffet dinner included with your stay, and we made it back just in time for it. Now the numbers in the restaurant counted about fifty, but was still well shy of the 1000 or so Gokhan had promised. It appeared that besides a long-term Spanish couple, we were the only non-Turks in the place. Even though the vibe was jovial, we decided to pack our alcohol and head towards the beach in our quest for nature, and perhaps another party.


The evening temperatures were dropping rapidly, and we found ourselves wandering the ancient Roman ruins trying to find shelter from the wind. We pushed on nearer to the beach but the mercury continued to drop. At this point Lord Disney and Lilia decided to return to Kadir’s in search of warmth. Our remaining trio knew a fire had to be made, but we needed supplies and more suitable clothes. Alone in the dark, we trekked back towards Olympos.


An ancient archway.


The village was lively, but far from pumping. We decided that the fire could wait, and we began to climb high into the forest above Olympos. The drifting waves of Turkish techno dissipated between the branches and soon we were in total silence. The higher we climbed the more in tune our senses became. The crack of twigs beneath our feet, the wafting fragrance of pine leaves, the shapes and figures of every individual tree coming to life as our eyes adjusted to the darkness; each sensation was heightened as we trudged determinedly towards an unseen summit.


At some point we realised the precarious position we were putting ourselves in, with no lights or protective gear to guide us as we clambered over jagged boulders. We found a flat stone to lie on, and instead made base and discussed with excitement what the New Year held for the three of us. Will declared with gusto that 2016 would be “our year”, and in our confident sense of drunkenness we felt the same way.


The river running towards the beach.


Suddenly, as can only be described of fireworks, a kaleidoscope of rainbow flares scattered across the tinted sky. Faint cheers of joy echoed up the valley as people far below us celebrated the end of 2015. We had lost track of time and subsequently missed the countdown. But for us it did not matter. Perched on our high rock surrounded by the soothing yet wild nature, we were exactly where we wanted to be.


Once motivation had returned we scrambled back down the mountain and onto the dried riverbed. We remembered our plan of building a fire and returned to Kadir’s to gather equipment. Just after midnight there was a noticeable increase in attendees, but no impressive numbers as we had expected. Sneaking into our room we packed our bags, grabbed some food and water, and got ready to depart once more. We decided to go for a walk to try and find Lord Disney and Lilia, and had no luck. In the restaurant there was perhaps a half-dozen people, but we noticed a stream of curiously dressed partiers wandering upstairs to the bar. In a last bid of hope, we followed. What we encountered was mesmerising.


Every square inch of space was teeming with intoxicated and ecstatic Turkish people, simultaneously foot stomping to “Cotton Eyed Joe”. It was like the scene out of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, where a hallucinating Thompson walks through a casino bar, confronted with dinosaurs and monsters happily grooving to the throw of dice and cards. At Kadir’s there were no monsters, but hundreds of costumed locals dancing and cheering, sporting face masks and glitter paint and frilly hats. Transporting from our solitary post on a rock high in the mountains and into this bedlam was intense.


We did a loop of the bar and instantly became separated. Guys shook my hands and girls danced with me. I was passed a bottle of unknown alcohol and took a heavy swig, much to the elation of the randoms who had passed it to me. I bumped and jived and twisted my way back towards the stairwell where I met up with Will. A conga line bounced past, and Alex was tagged onto the back of it. The party was wonderful, but on a level we were not prepared for. An older man grabbed my arm and started screaming in Turkish. I couldn’t tell if he was angry or just drunk. I smiled and pushed past him, making a quick decision to exit. This party was cracking, but in our hearts we knew we had to be back out in nature, as we originally intended.


Lord Disney and Lilia materialised in our room just as we were exiting. They opted to stay and avoid the unnecessary frigidness of a winter’s night. A trio once more, we skipped to the beach.

Teshub is the god of storm

In the course of time, physical shape of the Mother Goddess shows varieties according to the regions and she is called by dif­ferent names. Hittite Empire wasn’t late to introduce the sky god Teshub for Arinna, who is the closest successor of (Catalhoyuk’s Mother Goddess.


Teshub is the god of storm. Unshared throne of the Mother Goddess passes to Teshub, deemed as the god of gods. The reason why Teshub emerged and had the last word among the thrones of gods can be explained in this way: Anatolian man now real­izes mans role in childbirth of woman. Man, stronger and more belligerent than woman, gets rid of the inferiority he felt as he wasn’t fertile and thus, filled with the characteristics that will end matriarchal structure and start patriarchal one, “Father God” is created.


Anatolian man is now happier and feels more confident. The earth is in command of the Mother Goddess; she is the one giving a yield. As to the Father Goddess, he dominates the sky; he is the one causing rain and lightning as well. The Earth is air + water + earth + fire (4 elements) and the sky is sun + moon + stars, that is 3. 4 + 3 = 7. Before, The Hittites found the holy numbers in the attributes of gods and goddesses. We will always encounter this number 7 in the next chapters as well. The symbol of Teshub is the bull. He is the husband of Hebat and they have a son named later as Sharruma. Thus, after number 7, the Hittites begin to use number 3 as mystic as well. Mother + Father + Son. This trin­ity also signifies the sky. Father (Sun), mother (Moon) and son (Stars).


Temples are religious centers of the Hittites. The oldest one belonging to the Hittites is the Great Temple at Hattusha. Most in­terestingly, there are 175 rooms around the temple. These rooms were used as store and cereal was kept inside. There was no other safer place than the house of gods for a Hittite who wants to pro­tect his cereal from the thieves and enemies. Inside the temples, any harm was never done to the cereal because they were sacrific­ing every day to satisfy their gods. In this case, how could gods condone any harm coming to the cereals which are, so to say, the meaning of life for a Hittite?


In the temples, numerous clergymen worked. However, they couldn’t sleep in the temples but lived with their families in their houses. Their duties were to open the temple, to pray and to sac­rifice to the gods. Meat, bread and drink were offered to the gods every day. Especially since the gods were fed by the smell of meat, the burnt meat was offered.


As is seen, Hittite gods and goddesses are always connected with the worldly affairs. The expectation of the respect, fear and love in Hittites towards the gods and goddesses is worldly anxiety. They didn’t demand anything concerning the other world.


Hittite kings were not only loyal attendants of the gods but also their commissaries during their lifetime. After they died, the kings got to become God. The King was the manager of the cer­emonies organized in the Hittite temples. He was also held re­sponsible with the title of priest. Either king or a common person, everybody had to enter the temple after washing. Punishment of the entering without being cleaned was death.
