The Complete History of the Hittites

The Hittites were a people whose kings at one time ruled unchallenged in Anatolia and large swaths of the ancient Near East. They were so powerful that they destroyed sacked the great ancient states of Yamhad and Babylon and destroyed the once-mighty Kingdom of the Mitanni. However, they're fortunes rose and fell like the tides with their successes often being fleeting due to internal infighting and spreading their forces too thin. If you've ever wanted to get a sense of who the Hittites were as well as learn about their fascinating history, this program is for you.

    If the cable channel that still calls itself "The History Channel" did these types of documentaries, I probably would have kept cable T.V. But since history has been dropped from their programming, I cut cable and watch You Tube channels like this.

    You can read quite a few books by Henry Archibald Sayce and others for free on kindle. There is a guy out of Wales, I think he’s dead now, by the name of Bill Cooper. He wrote a 60+page long book on the biblical book of Esther, taking archaeology in history, like that of Herodotus and cross referencing everything. He has many books just like it that go into the 500 page range. If you read this one, you will be addicted to this author because he tells you where all his sources are from as he writes he gives you the primary sources not just in the bibliography.

    It's interesting that this presentation failed to mention that the first time in history that the name Hittite was mentioned was in the Bible. Higher criticism claimed that the Bible was historically untrustworthy since no other source of history mentioned the Hittites. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, mentions the Hittites a number of times. The truth is that nothing the Bible has ever claimed to be historically correct has ever been shown to be false.

I can already tell that this nut case is pushing a debunked ideology the concept of "Aryan" invented in the 19th century. Hittities come from the lineage of Ham who was father to Canaan. From this son comes Hittites and the Amorites that were mentioned in this video. Scholars know that Hamites are not only of dark complexion but no relation to Armenians. I'm not gonna even entertain the stupidity of any fake ass link between the two outside of sharing a common tongue which would no doubt be out of the norm seeing that Cannanites despite being Hamitic spoke Shemitic language like the Israelites who are of the lineage of Shem.

    It is very untrusthy talking about time before the time the Israel/Judah kingdom existed. For example, speaking about the hittites. For them, they were just another caananite kingdom, even they, somewhat, understood they had some kind of prosperous. The Bible never mentions how powerful the hittite empire was, and that is because the collective memories of the Judah/Israel kingdom was not that old to remember that. The world of these kingdom was the beggining of the Iron age. Another clear example of their lack of knowledge is that they believed that Nimrod was the first city of the Assyrian (hence the descendant of Cain was this mighty hunter), but the first capital of Assyria was Assur. But they had no way to know that, possibly, in their collective memory, that was the oldest capital of Assyria they knew (which was the second capital of Assyria). It is a good way to understand the Iron age, but very bad to understand times before that.

    The story of how Hittite was translated and found to be related to the modern European languages deserves a few minutes in a lecture such as this. Also the collapse of the Hittite kingdom coincides with the presumed end of Trojan war. (1177 B.C.) The kingdoms to the west were most likely the Lydians, who were driven into famine due to the Trojan war and split their people in half, the crown prince (Tyrrus) taking half the people to northern Italy, becoming the Etruscans, or modern Tuscany. Such details would go a long ways toward building interest in the populations of your reader/listeners. There is good evidence the Hittites were part of the ancestral populations that peopled Europe.

    Thank you for your comments, may also add, Trojans and Hittites were not rivals as Hittites worked with than as trading partners, it would be ideal to call a migration since Those trading Anatolian cavillations, were already in contact and trading with other Mediterranean countries mostly in North Africa such an most advanced Carthaginian nation. Athenians, uniting other parts of tribes from Sparta to Macedonia and northern Balkan people, raiding pillaging and looting for many decades, has forced these western Anatolian people to look else where. Some of the information we can read is Virgil. They have travelled to Italy and established first foundation of Rome. Most famous speech of all the captain of the Bridge Horace's, " When Rome's army went to expedition, across the Tiberius river on the Hills appeared Etruscans and Latin armies. people cried and screamed in fear as he gave the speech of how a man can die better. From time of this event to earliest recorded history about 600/800 years. However there are ancient Hittite text about Trojan time period and wars, do mention "Troy has come under constant attack by waring tribes across the Aegean sea and islands. There are no mention of famous battle like in the movie of Troy, neither Brad Pitt. some chronical says, Horace's actually fall from the bridge and drowned due to his heavy armour, who knows, juicy story appeals to masses. As is usual history has written by victors , we can all agree last 200 years its written mostly from Cambridge and Oxfordian's who never left England. I have travelled extensively, most cavillations in Anatolia has collapsed due to Pandemics, earth quakes and other natural disasters. When you discover coins other other valuable artefacts laying in ground, its all evidence of natural cycle we live in today. Historians suggested it was the decade long drought has caused the massive depopulation of Anatolia and collapse of the Empire, however, recent findings going back in ancient texts, there have been a pandemic in the years before Hittite and other Anatolian civilisations. from the texts Hittite king 1198-1196 BCE. Shortly after this time, however, the Hittite Empire collapsed, with its capital city of Hattusa abandoned and no further mention of its last king, Suppiluliuma II. begging the Gods to spare his life.1198-1196 BCE. Shortly after this time the Hittite Empire collapsed, with its capital city of Hattusas (largest and oldest in the world)abandoned and no further mention of its last king, Suppiluliuma II. One also can say, between Troy and Agamemnon story of Helen is appealing but there is no evidence it has ever happened. Cheers.

    There are 5 distinct groups of sea people working with each other and Syrian and leave times and anatolians who simaltaniuly are moving provisions by land. It does seem that they are motivated by want to food for the organization to work. Moreover, one of the groups is resettled in Egypt, and as mentioned in another text is still living there 100 years after which means it, Egyptians gave them a way to grow their own food which implies, the climate change collapse may actually be true. I’m not saying it’s true. It just has more evidence for it than modern climate change fanaticism does. Wilusa(Troy) was at war with the Greeks not all of Phriga. The collapse of Troy is a big deal for the Greeks, and as they settle the Tiber Valley later for Italy, but likely not enough to cause the kind of movement that we see with the sea peoples. The shackle ash are fairly well connected to the island of Sicily, which was a hotbed of piracy at the time either the guys with the horns helmets.

    There seems to be a language connection. Only, the people certainly don’t look European they are not. They look like mixed race people that look Chinese and African and European at the same time. They depicted how they looked come to think of it. They look a little bit like Aztecs. And bring me bread and water. The word and head out for water is water. Some German guy figured it out. And now everyone wants to connect ration language as if African-Americans were related to the Anglo-Saxons just because they speak English. Carrot was written in corner form, which they got from the Assyrians for Semites. They likely cut structural parts of their language from the Indo Europeans. They were fighting with to the north, who we know definitely became the Armenians and likely the Germans and Celts also and these three groups are genetically connected besides in fact, you have a genetic link from Ireland to uighurland in China and down into Cameroon and Africa, so the genetics of these people in Europe are spread pretty far and wide. . Also, there are other genetics sets that indicate the British Isles lynched with a barrier. The Germans linked with Italy and the Slavs crank linked with the Greeks, which indicates they move north as the ice receded from their Mediterranean purchs.

    It's a little more complex than that. For the most part, its existence wasn't questioned. Western scholars even got it right when they attributed sculptures of a certain style to the Hittites. What they got wrong was the geographic center of the Hittites - which they thought was in Syria because that's where most of their evidence came from, and the extent of its power. It was the discovery of Hattusa and its thousands of cuneiform tablets that revolutionized our understanding of the true nature of the empire. Something that did fall completely out of our knowledge was the Hittite and its related languages. That has been the effort of over a century now of scholarship.

    The timing of the ruin of the Hittite government is key, being 1000 BCE. That was the reign if David in Israel. It makes sense that the warrior Uriah (Uriyah) the Hittite who was the armor-bearer to Goliath (Goliat) was unhappy in a deposed nation and sought glory with a nearby nation.

    I read a book when i was 14yrs old about the Hittite history & my favourite person was Suppiluliumas ( the last 'S' at the end of his name was what was written in my book so always called him the above spelling) His name i practised saying for years because i loved the sound that it made just tripping off ones tongue..its a wonderful name.

I suppose if they like those, they'll watch others in the series. I'm also going to do some more informal vids as well. Hittites are a really fascinating people and culture and I'm planning a few more vids the subject. If you have any requests, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    Johnnie Wood .... I "think" was is missing is Genesis 36:2, the union of Esau and Cana'an through the lines of the money/military power then/now the Hittites. With their code of Cana'an ("canon") law, sodomy, pedophilia and Ba'al priests it is easy to equate Vatican curia's council of Cana'an being Hittite! O. K. that is one part of Gen3sis 36:2; where are the Esau-ites today? The State of Isn't Real is situated on the land David bought with God's approval. At 1948 it was Judah George VI who symbolically gave David's land back to Cana'an under the Ball Four Declaration. Shortly after Vatican received the land the land was then loaned to the Esau-ites who created the Iewish State of Isn'tReal. We have seen the Hittites and Esau-ites in business June 6-11 1967 when Vatican sent Isn'tReal to take Hebron in the 666 daze war. Now why would the Cana'anites want with Hebron other than the DNA within the Cave of the Patriarchs at Hebron. Do you suppose the mRNA World War III "shot" has anything to do with attacking the DNA specific to the Seed of Abraham ... witch would invariably include the Esau-ites? I think it is brilliant how We the People (government) conned the brain dead We the PERSONS (voters) into taking the "shot" absent any lawful orders! I further believe this world is on the bicuspid of radical change in a good way! With the Number 2 international Terrorists about to be wiped out and the #1 International Terrorists, the "Christians", following them as JeZEUS told them to obey the civil authority, the world will be rid of the 2 greatest brain dead this world has ever seen!

I personally see everything through the Biblical record and as Assyria is a major Player your documentary sets the stage for How and Why the Assyrians come into the picture. Much of Israel's history is low key during the rise of Assyria as we would be in the time of The Judges. The Sea People's no doubt contributed to the Philistines and from there on we have 'lots' of great Biblical info to go with. The only real mention of the Hittites thereafter was- Huriah The Hittite (A covert to Judah) and the husband of Beersheba whom King David had set-up to be killed to have her.

All of that happened approximately in the 1100-1000’s BC where the video ends at around 1200 BC. Furthermore, we know for sure that Israel and/or Judah did exist in the centuries after this period because of other kingdoms and civilizations such as the Neo-Assyrians, Neo-Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans referring to them.
