    As much as I love science, history has always been one of my favorite subjects because at the end of the day, the events of a specific time period always have a huge impact on the culture, literature, philosophy and general progress of the period. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

    It's a common misunderstanding that the Hittites referred to themselves as the "Nesili". "Nesili" was actually what they called their language, "that of the city Nesa (Kanesh)". Kanesh was at the heart of the Assyrian trading colonies network, and the dominant regional power just before the rise of the Hittite Old Kingdom. In fact, prior to the Old Kingdom, a king of Kanesh destroyed Hattusa. A good parallel is that Americans speak English, but do not consider themselves to be English. To be more precise, the Hittite empire was "the land of the city Hattusa". "Hattusa" was frequently written, even in Hittite language texts, using the Akkadian version of its name, "Hatti", which was itself based on the pre-Hittite name of the city. Foreigners, following the Akkadian form, wrote about "Hatti", but that name wasn't fully embraced by the Hittites themselves until after the fall of the empire and the disappearance of the Hittite language.
    Also, I might be misinterpreting what you mean, but Kanesh was not "an Assyrian town". It was an "ethnic" Hittite city, but had a dedicated trading sector from which the Assyrians controlled their own trading network in Anatolia.
    As a nit-pick: we don't know that Mursili I allied himself with the Kassites when he sacked Babylon. Mursili appears to have destroyed Babylon in his raid, and it remained that way for some time before the Kassites rebuilt it. No texts connect the Hittites and Kassites with this event.
    Ok, continuing nit-picking while totally skipping over the things about your video that I like (especially noting that Hittite documents seem to sit somewhere between propaganda and "measured accounts" of events)... I don't think it's correct to describe the Kadesh treaty mentioning how the Egyptian and Hittite gods established peace between the lands as belonging to the "mythological past". There were several Hittite/Egyptian peace treaties before the so-called Kadesh treaty (which didn't have anything to do with Kadesh), and these treaties would include a list of gods as witnesses to the treaty. They were crediting the gods with the establishment of the peace, but there is no story associated with it. Kind of like "It was the will of God that brought my parents together in holy matrimony" wouldn't be considered a myth.
    More nit-picking, this time concerning the way information is grouped together sometimes. Including a description of the Hittite vassal treaty system while discussing Telipinu is an anachronism. The vassal treaty system didn't start until later. Tudhaliya I appears to be the first king to make use of it, and then Suppiluliuma I made it a regular tool of state. Telipinu, on the other hand, the first Hittite king known to make a treaty, made a real parity treaty - i.e. both sides were equal partners, neither one subject to the other.
    I don't know where you got the idea that Suppiluliuma allied himself with the Assyrians. On the contrary, when Suppiluliuma moved into Mitanni, the Assyrians were vassals of his ally. By the time he completed his conquest of Mitanni, the Assyrians had freed themselves, and so Suppiluliuma found himself defending his Mitannian vassals against Assryian attacks. I suspect you were under the impression that the Mitannians Suppiluliuma allied himself with were under Assyrian control, rather than the other way around.
    Anyway, this is just the sort of thing I can't help stop myself from sticking my nose into without being asked. I'm always glad to see anything about the Hittites.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠@@markdevries1535There are many records in Hattuša, yes, but they are still a fraction of what there was originally. The vast majority of records are, in fact, HEAVILLY incomplete and broken. What we do have is amazing, yes; but most of what is left was created by accident: the burnings at the end of the Hittite period solidified many clay tablets; sadly, this means we only have sources from the very end of the period, albeit many being rewritings of earlier sources.
      Ultimately, we know more about the Hittites than we have any right to, but a lot of what we know is pure inference work.
      Ultimately, I think Professor Dave was trying to enunciate the sheer speed with which the Hittites vanished; albeit, somewhat misleadingly.
      Also, wdym “unlike the assyrians”? we have literally THOUSANDS of complete tablets from the neo assyrian period and comprise almost a majority of ancient middle eastern tablets thus discovered.

    • @Bramble451
      @Bramble451 Місяць тому +1

      It's just not particularly great wording is all. For a long time the Hittite language went completely extinct - we didn't have any documents, and didn't know anything about the language. There were Hittite monuments, but we didn't understand them, either. We knew they were there, but we didn't know that they were Hittite. This is particularly true for the Hittite homeland. There are lots of monuments in Syria of a similar style that some scholars connected to the Hittites because of the Bible, but they didn't know it for sure. Because most of these monuments were in Syria, and because that's where the Bible seemed to place the Hittites, scholars thought that the Hittites were centered in Syria. Archaeologically, much of Hittite civilization disappeared, either due to the weather, buried underground, or recycled material by the locals. What could be seen of the ruins of Hattusa always impressed European adventurers, but they were left guessing what civilization they belonged to. For a long time, until Egyptian hieroglyphs were translated, we only knew about the Hittites from the Bible. It wasn't until the discovery of the Hittite archives in Hattusa that we realized where the true center of Hittite civilization was, and that it was much more significant than we realized. The translation of Egyptian hieroglyphs, where we read of the Egyptians coming into direct conflict with the Hittites, helped us understand just how significant they were.

    l want to add a small detail. The Hitties were in problem with Kaška people, kaška ör gaška's were lived North central Blacksea. They take the Hitties religious capital Nerik! Nerik was important because Hitties's "storm god" Tarhunna's home. Also palaic peoples lives in Western Blacksea region. Kaşka people were descandant of hatties. Troy was a important Luwian City. Luwians- Lidya- Likya- Pamfilia, Carian's all were İndo-European race but not helenic. They were native anatolians. Releated with Anatolian hunter gatherers. Anatolian hunter gatherer's learned farming from fertile crescent. They changed life style and start to farming life. ANF Anatolian neolitic farmers, were fathers of ronus and ronulus.

      Researchers mentioned that the Caucasus was a source and cradle of the white race, and they attributed to it all the white people of Asia and Europe and called them the Caucasian race, and the first to give the name of this race ((Caucasian)) was the German scientist ((Blumenbach))
      “Blumenbach” “1752 - 1840 AD
      When he studied the peoples of the Caucasus, he confirmed that it is the source of many peoples that we call white or European, and under this comprehensive race are the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, and the inhabitants of North and West Africa.
      And from the Circassians are the Kasough ( Kassites ) people and the Cimmerians and the Hatti or Hattians singular Hatt, and also the Hittites, and he proved that with the following:
      1- It was proven from research into the coffins and sarcophagi of the dead Hittites that the ancient Egyptians made and preserved in Egypt, and from examining the faces and composition of the skeletons of these dead, and from their clothes, fashions and beliefs, it became clear that they are Circassians without Conflict.
      2- The Mikh script invented by the Hittites and used by them is still used by the Circassians as symbols and signs for families, clans and tribes.
      3- The remaining remnants of the Hittite language, despite their scarcity, apply completely to the Circassian language and are in harmony with it, and there is no difference between them.
      4- The English scholar "Sayce" and the historian "Le Normand" as well as the French scholar "Morgan" confirmed, after they deciphered the Hittite writing, that the Hittites are Circassians, and they explained that the Hittites did not come to the Caucasus after the disintegration of their empire, which extended and included Asia Minor, Mesopotamia and Syria up to the Egyptian borders, but rather they inhabited their homeland and original country, the Caucasus, before this great expansion and the formation of their empire, and its golden age in the Caucasus was in the fifteenth century BC, and their greatest kings in the Caucasus were "A. Ites" and he was mentioned in the legend of "Argon" among the ancient Greeks.

    Real Anatolian İndo-European race was Luwian people. For example Apollon, Letoon or Arthemis were Luwian gods. After ionian colonization of asia minör cities, helens add this Anatolian native gods to their panteon. Hattie people lived before the Hitties, they were not İndo-European. Hitties came from causasus and invade hatti lands. Hatti clans lived in Zalpa, Nerik region, nearly equals to modern Turkey's Samsun province Bafra-Vezirkoprü districts. Kaška clans always attacked Hitties and more than two times they took Hattusa and burned it.
    Troy was an Luwian City. Had important relation and trade with Hitties. All Luwian cities send help Troy for fighting against invader Agenennon and Helenic powers.

      Well, it says something specific about the idea of writing history- to the degree that it grew out of monuments which were set up to honor the deeds of rulers, including military victories, history-writing was about fame and securing a person's legacy. But because, in Greece at least, histories were not written by the people who performed the acts its recorded, this left room for the writer to analyze and criticize the people he was writing about. In any case, ancient historians tended to think of battles and politics as fit subjects, and were not so interested in social, cultural or technological issues. Herodotus, in the 5th century, did devote a lot of his work to what we would call the cultural anthropology of foreign peoples.

      Since the term "Indo-European" was invented to describe a group of languages which have common origins, then anyone who spoke one of these languages- including the Hittites-may be considered related; and the stock of common words found among these peoples, as well as archeological and genetic evidence, suggests that they had at one time a common culture and ethnic origin.

Using the terms, BC and AD are only meaningful if you grew up in a Christian household, meanwhile CE (common era) and BCE (before common era) are geographically neutral terms that can resonate with all human beings and thus deserve their place as we transition to a globalist society.

      Yeah not when it comes to supernatural occurences, but with other things it can function as a historic source.

      Are we throwing Biblical history as an academic subject on the pyre to "own the Christians"?

      Don Quixote isn't a history book either, but you can learn a lot about 16th and 17th century Spain by reading it.

      Look, most reasonable people understand that the supernatural stuff in the Bible, especially everything in the first couple of Books are nonsensical.
      However, simply dismissing the entire Bible, even with its many historical inaccuracies, is anti-intellectual.

    Can we go back to agreeing that Fiction isn't a valid source of Historical facts? Please? There's no use trying to embrace Fiction to encourage understanding in people blinded by that fiction from reality. That's not a position anyone can recover from cognitively that hasn't already on their own. So there's incredibly limited educational value to it. Only a negative outcome where Fiction is seen as valid source of citation. Fiction should never be cited in an educational setting unless it's being used to corroborate another piece of real evidence or it's a class studying Fiction.

      Historians know how to compare religious mythology to other sources in order to parse from it what can be considered evidence for something.
