Why is knowing anything about Anatolia such a big deal?

It isn't.

anatolia was home to hittite empire, who spoke the earliest indo-european language that we know about. they're kind of a median point between western semitic mythology like the baal cycle and the bible, and the greek mythology.

troy was in anatolia.

much of early christianity grew up in anatolia.
