The story of the Hittites is a fascinating one. I used to nerd out watching old documentaries about them. One of the oldest peace treaties was written during the reign of Hatusilli III and Ramses on a clay tablet dating back to 1269 BC. Another interesting thing about them was their religion. As they conqured land they would assimilate the local gods of the conqured territory into their pantheon. This gave the Hittites the name as "The People of a Thousand Gods".

I remember back in the days before the internet was widespread how hard, and in many cases next to impossible, it was to get any information about these civilisations. I remember reading and re-reading the short articles included on the 'Encyclopedia' that came with the Age of Empires disk. I also had to look through Encarta articles, or get hold of cheap second hand pop history books from charity stores or from bargain bookshops. I still have copies of books on Ancient Egypt that were written in the late 1800's/ early 1900's and as such were completely outdated. Finding out about niche subjects like the Hittite military would've been extremely difficult, especially as there was no local libraries with information on this stuff around my area. So I agree, getting a fully animated documentary on this subject would've blown my mind back then.

By all means, the battle of Battle of Kadesh should be seen as a Hittite favored victory. Not only did the Egyptians not capture Kadesh, Ramses II had to retreat which gave Muwatalli II the chance to retake Amurru, the city he was planning to capture in this war. So if Muwatalli II achieved his goal and Ramses II did not, then how come we still call it an Egyptian victory or a draw? No, do not use the losses of manpower here, because that is only used as an outline when we talk about offenses where the foremost goal of the battle has not been achieved by either party. Mind you, Ramses II later went on an expedition again in Northern Syria, but this fight shouldn't be seen as a draw at all.

I actually recognise some of those names from TW Pharaoh, from their place in history - Suppiluliuma. If I recall correctly, he was the reigning monarch of some part of the Hittite empire when the Sea People came calling. He sent urgent messages to his father (The Emperor?) for aid, but no help came. Later, there are messages from his father (sent to someone I no longer remember) asking for help, in his own turn, but again, no help comes. In the end, the Hittite empire was utterly smashed by the Sea People...

While most focus on Rome, you make videos about Carthage. While most focus on William of Normandy, you make videos about Harald Hadrada. While most focus on Egypt or Assyria, you make videos on the Hittites. You shed light on the important but underated powers in history, and I really appreciate you for that.

Some say a reduced court and small amount of soldiers left the city before it was burned and retreated to Tarhuntassa, a city that has never been conclusively found. Interesting that only the royal palaces and temples were burned by the invading enemy, whoever that was).

All what is really missing is Expansion. If there were several celtic triebes, minos in Greece and maybe the etruscan from italy it would feel more worldlike

@@stonefish1318Dude, the biggest crime they committed was omitting Babylon, Assyria, and Elam.

I love these bronze age videos

Shieeet sucha a good Quality content

It is interesting the similarities in structure and success the Romans had with the Hittites military structure. Even down to mostly using the short stabbing sword and large rectangular shield combo

Could you do a video of the Canaanite’s more specificity the Moabites and the stele of mesha and there conflict with Israel and Judah.

Great video as always How about a follow up on the Mysteries of Greek warfare video?

Working on it

Pharaoh King Tut Fought The Mitanni Kingdom I think got injured in that Battle he was young pharaoh but King Tut His Fighters Beat Back The Mitanni Kingdom it was Epic Battle Ancient Kemet Egyptian Victory For King Tut Great Battle Then Years Later Rameses The Great and Tuthmose III and The Nubians Kush Pharaoh’s Kingdoms All Had to Fight Assyrians The Kingdoms including Sea Peoples All From The East Middle Kingdoms Greatest Epic Battles Great insight Bro All Of These Battles Deserve Insight I Hope you Do More Videos on All OF Them

More bronze age stuff is great! :D

I find it strange. Unusual even. That a playable Mesopotamian faction isn't added in a wider middle east Bronze age setting. Within Total War Pharaoh

What were your primary written sources for this video? I've never seen so much detail on the Hittites.

A great many things i did not know. Very cool, thank you.

Interesting.

One of the defining features of Hittite chariots is that they used four horses.

I believe that's actually the case for all bronze age chariots

Nope. What you're thinking of is the three man chariot, which was still drawn by two horses. Even among the Hittites, the three man chariot doesn't appear until Egyptian depictions at the Battle of Kadesh, and even in those depictions many are drawn as two men chariots. The Hittites never depicted three men chariots in their own art. Further, the Hittite army consisted of the core Hittite forces plus the many vassal armies that joined them, and the vassal armies were responsible for their own chariots. Come to think of it, outside Rameses depictions of the Battle of Kadesh, I don't know if a three man crew for the Hittites is ever mentioned, although I'd have to dig around to confirm that. Beal's "The Organization of the Hittite Military" doesn't mention anything outside of the Egyptian Kadesh inscriptions.

You put more effort into this video than CA does running a business

Suppiluliuma is literally my favorite name from all of the Bronze Age.

ugh finally a doc on hitties army

Final my favourite Bronze age empire.

Make an episode about the Scholae Palatinae.

Ramses II: I still kicked your butts Hettites: What?! We almost captured your pharo ass! Ramses II: the wall here says otherwise Hettites: You made it yourself! Ramses II: *THE WALL SAYS I WON*

Now we need a Bronze Age assassins creed set around this time period

Does anyone know if Agrippina the Elder was a beauty? None of the sources mention it.

Please make more of these ancient civ videos, Armenians Georgians Scythian’s etruscans Gaul

Please include dates in the description.

THUMBS UP

Do a video on camel cavalry

Hi, I have a question, if rhe army was forbidden to loot the farmers for food, and in a world before currency, how did the king pay for the food, in kind?

Amazing video, very informative! Civilisations in the Levant are always so interesting. Please do a video on Israelites since there is a lot of data on them and their culture.

I think a clue on how chariot warfare was would be reading the illiad since its in the bronze age as well

Nice video. But i want to mention that the wagon wheel movement animatio is a lil bit disturbingly inorganic. Other than that it is good in informing us about this foot noted nation.

Big fan of the Total War series. I may yet get Pharaoh despite the negative feedback I've read due to my interest in history.

You should definitely give it a chance! Most of the "criticism" isn't even aimed at the game directly, it's people being angry at CA (unjustifiably in my opinion, but I'm not about to change any opinions. Just here to enjoy some good games). Pharao is a really good and perfectly enjoyable game, especially if you are interested in the history of the factions (I'm just now taking a course at University about the influence of ancient Egypt in Kanaan)

Next do the Mitanni they are always forgotten and smack dab in the middle of it all
