Özet:

During the third millennium B.C., Hurrians appeared in the eastern region of Anatolia as a community with a life based on agriculture and animal husbandry. Over the centuries, the Hurrian community had spread throughout the North of "fertile crescent" ranging from Zagros Mountains to the Mediterranean and had been located on the transition geography between Mesopotamia and Anatolia. Forming the dominant part of the ethnicity in the Southeastern Anatolia and in the North of Syria around two thousand years, the Hurrian community had taken place on the trade routes between Mesopotamia and Anatolia and this situation had affected both neighboring communities and themselves religiously and culturally. When it is looked at the deep effect that they made on the Hittite culture and beliefs, it can only be gained information from the Hittite cuneiforms about Hurrians who were expected to have a highly developed civilization conception. In this study, we explained this myths that has found place in Hittite sources as the mythological narratives that we found the clues of development and formation of Hurrian believes system by putting the common parts with Mesopotamian myth and Hurrian myth. In our study, we tried to describe the effect of myths as "The Thirty Sons of the Queen of Kanes", "The Legend of the Sky Kingdom", "The Songs of Ullikummi", "The Tale of Appu and His Two Sons", "The Tale of Hunter Kessi", "Story of Gurparanzah" on Hurrian belief system by putting their connection with the Mesopotamian belief
