This town gets is name from Haci Bektas-i Veli, who was born in the 13th century in Khorassan, on the border with today's modern day Iran. Haci Bektas recieved his earliest education from Ahmet Yesevi, a learned thinker of that time. Haci Bektas followed the Turkish migration routes from East to West, to arrive in Anatolia where he settled in Hacimköy near Sulucakarahöyük. His arrival coincided with the political and economic deteriation of the Anatolian Selcuk state, during which time there was also a collapse in central authority. During this time Haci Bektas travelled from city to city and village to village to promote Turkish unity. He made an effort to unite Turkish customs and cluture with the Islamic faith, and worked hard to protect the Turkish language and cluture from foreign influence and degeneration. The artifacts, unearthed during the excavations carried out in the town center, from the Early Bronze Age, Hittite, Phrigian, Hellenistic and Roman Reiods are at display at the Archaeological Museum of Haci Bektas. |
