History[edit]

The village of İnandık in the district Çankırı (in province of Çankırı) in Turkey was already settled in the Hittite Empire (1750-1200 BC). Artefacts of this settlement are on display in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.242.70.153 (talk) 11:30, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Someone who misunderstood his source had entered some material in "history" I had to edit. He gave BC dates instead of AD for Christian events, thought Deiotarus' father was the god Pollux (they just had the same name), and gave 65 BC as his death date when it was really 6/5 BC, meaning a year including parts of both those years. He seems to have quoted an old Encyclopedia Britannica article, because I found these points when I checked my own old Britannica. Wallace McDonald (talk) 05:45, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
