ÐعM提п (former DAMTP - the DaðA Miners and Travailleuse Psychique) - workers union to disrupt the creation of cultural capital through regional and a national language

It was predicted to have an autoritaticidal or un-winning or unwinding 3SF World Cup in Hattusa. That was initiated by DAMTP’s wish to supersede Alytus Psychic Strike Biennial organization by empowering more of self-organization instead. Hattusa seemed to be perfect because of involvement into the oldest recorded facts of regicide (Mursili I was executed by his own soldiers in 1526 BC) and peace making (Hatushili III signed a Peace Treaty with Ramses II in 1269 BC).

Peregrine DAMTPs entered Boğazkale (Turkish name for Hattusa) and were stopped by a man who later appeared to be a mayor of the town. He asked to enter the house he was standing by. There was a place for community meetings and improvised shop selling handcrafted souvenirs made by local Kurdish women co-operative. After getting drained of some Turkish liras and showing solidarity to women co-operation psychic workers got escorted by the mayor himself to Yazilikaya Temple were they got some dinner as well. While waiting for the food workers got tempted by the sellers of the handcrafted replicas of Hittites sculptural figures carved in the stone, which in original view possible to see just few meters away from selling table. There on the wall just opposite to the main façade is depicted the King Tudhaliya IV holding a rod in a way 3SF players did in Kaliakra transmitters’ place. The temple is a place to see Hittite practise of assimilating other cultures' gods into their own pantheon – at the same ease as the Kurdish guy was handcrafting its replicas to be sold as souvenirs. After coming back from the Temple he met DAMTP’s again and offered the same items for a half price.

The next stop for peregrines was to go back to Hattusa – the remnants of capital of the Hittite Empire in the late Bronze Age. It was an hour remaining until it gets dark and a half an hour remaining until this open-air museum closes. Originally at least six gates let people enter the interior of the city, but now just 3 of them are remaining: The Lion gate, The Sphinx Gate and The King’s Gate. 3SF version with 6 goalposts yet to be reinvented.

 

The Lion Gate is the first one that can be seen when following the official sightseeing route around Hattusa. The Lions Gate was built in the early 14th century BC and by its quality is similar to the construction techniques in Mycenaean Greece, in particular, to another Lion Gate - the one at the entrance to the city of Mycenae, which was built in 1250BC. Especially that if to look through the gate from inside Hattusa, it points straight to Mycenae direction. Kicking a ball through the gate is like kicking an electron into Hadron Collider – it goes through the whole row of carved out of stone lions starting from Hattusa, Mycenae, then to Medici Lions in Florence and following through its numerous copies in Sweden, Spain, Britain, Germany, Cuba, USA, Estonia, Lithuania, France, Hungary, Russia and Ukraine… Until it comes again to “Battleship Potiomkin” by Eisenstein with “animated” marble lions from the Alupka Palace in the Crimea: a sleeping lion, an awakening lion, and a rising lion – the scene was intended to represent “rising proletariat”. But even greater is the misuse of the royal image which served to the ruling class for milleniums. So, who gave a ball to the marble lions? Seems it to be Romans in 1AD with Albani Lion predating one of the Medici’s, dated 2AD. But both could be overtaken from an unknown yet Helenistic original.

Similar space-time-class loops could be done also to the sphinx and king’s gates. It need some time to conceive what was a game DAMTP’s started to play there in Hattusa. The ball used for this game was specially designed according to Laurentiu Ruta Fulger advice (given in Alytus in August 1995) to apply the orange peel-off shaped rubber back to get a ball. It happens to be a heavy ball. It was thought a perfect place to meet Laurentiu could be Busteni “sphinx” location with the orange-peel resembling spiral labyrinthine rows of stones. And there is nothing symbolic in it but some another portion of time-space-class (mis)loops.

The Turkish word Yerkapı, meaning “the gate in the ground”, quite accurately captures the essence of this part of Hattusa fortifications. It is located inside an artificial embankment that forms the southern tip of the city walls. That embankment is 15 meters high, 250 meters long, and 80 meters wide at its base. The construction of Yerkapı is based on the corbelled vault as the Hittites could not build true arches. Instead, they applied the method that uses the architectural technique of corbeling to span a space in a structure and what is still preserving after few thousand years. There was one ruined place with the hole in the vault. Apparently by an accident the ball kicked by one player got exactly into this hole and hit another player into his head (possibly it has something to do with the quantum tunnelling). Above Yerkapi, there are city walls, with the access to the city provided by the Sphinx Gate.
