How did the Hittites react to the cultures they found in mesopotamia?

The Hittites, upon encountering Mesopotamian cultures, adopted and adapted various aspects of their practices, including language, religion, and technology. They incorporated cuneiform writing and borrowed deities from Mesopotamian pantheons, reflecting a syncretic approach to culture. This interaction facilitated the Hittites' development of their own distinct identity while enhancing their administrative and military capabilities. Overall, their response was one of integration and innovation, allowing them to thrive in the region.
