Square and prominent cheeks, a protrusive nose, with retreating chin and forehead and lozenge-shaped eyes, gave them a Mongoloid appearance.

They were not handsome to look upon, but the accuracy of their portraiture by the artists of Egypt is confirmed by their own monuments.

The heads represented on the Egyptian monuments are repeated, feature by feature, in the Hittite sculptures.
Ugly as they were, they were not the caricatures of an enemy, but the truthful portraits of a people whose physical characteristics are still found, according to Sir Charles Wilson, in the modern population of Cappadocia.
The Hittites wore their hair in three plaits, which fell over the back like the pigtail of a Chinaman.

They dressed in short tunics over which a long robe was worn, which in walking left one leg bare.

Their feet were shod with boots with turned-up ends, a sure indication of their northern origin.
