In Civilization VI, you can receive an achievement called 'Gift from the Storm God' if you receive a strategic resource from the City-State of Hattusa. I've learned that Hattusa was the capital of the ancient Hittite Empire in modern-day Turkey, but still don't understand the allusion. Does anyone know what the achievement title is referring to?
Anecdotally, the city (as it's thought to have looked) was pretty awesome in real life:

Hattusa
Hattusa was a city in Anatolia (name for the region known today as central Turkey). The city was destroyed and rebuilt a few times, for example the city was destroyed by the king Anitta in 18th century B.C. who claimed it was accursed and then it was later rebuilt by one of the first Hittite kings. As such I find it surprising we know so much about the city, apparently other civilizations such as the Assyrians kept records on the city.
Its Temple(s)
"Gift of the Storm God" references the fact that in the "Lower City" of Hattusa there was enormous temple referred to as the "Temple of the Storm God". Apparently the city had many temples (31 stated in this reference) but this temple towered over all of them.
I suggest reading more of this reference, I found it to be very interesting and considering you've asked this question I think you would find it interesting as well (assuming you don't already know it of course).
