IV: Pre-Hittite period III: Hittite period In 2005, metallurgical analysis by Hideo Akanuma of iron fragments found at Kaman-Kalehöyük in 1994 and dating to c. 1800 BCE revealed that some of these fragments were composed of carbon steel; these currently form the world's earliest known evidence for steel manufacture.
[5][6] This was further confirmed in a 2023 study, which also found that the carbon content in these iron and steel artifacts was rather variable.
[8] Then, from the 12th century onward after the Hittite Empire collapsed, it is generally believed that a "Dark Age" had occurred in Anatolia, during which there were no significant cultural developments.
During the period of the Kingdom of Cappadocia, which was established in 333 BC, Kırşehir and its region were under intense pressure due to the lack of authority.
In 18 AD, the Roman Emperor Tiberius officially annexed Cappadocia to Rome and made it a state.
