- 1700 - 1200 BCE - The first Indo-Europeans documented arrived in Anatolia and completely changed the face of the Near East, even going toe to toe with the mighty Egyptians, as well as the revived Assyrians.
In this episode The History of the World Podcast dives into the rise and fall of the Hittite civilization and empire. Covering a variety of aspects ranging from language to military history we are given a great overview of one of the greatest empires of the Bronze Age. We see its rise and eventual fall as the Sea Peoples arrive and Assyria expands.

I feel like I'm attending one of the best lectures on history. The natural heavy accent, imposing and confident. Thanks, you made history real and alive.
I have never considered myself much of a history buff but I really like your presentations. I have watched about 3 now and they are easy to follow and you make them very interesting. Ty for that.
As far as I know, "anthropomorphic" doesn't mean "half human and half animal". The word comes from the words άνθρωπος (human)+ μορφή (form)= ανθρωπομορφικός (anthropomorphism) and when we are talking about anthropomorphic Gods, it means that although they are Gods and they shouldn't have qualities of humans, these Gods do (eg Goddess Hera was JEALOUS of Zeus (not that he hadn't given her reasons to be) but jealousy is a human feeling. Poseidon got angry at certain heroes and wanted them to suffer or even die (again anger is something that characterizes humans and not Gods.). It also means that they were depicted as having the appearance of humans. We recognize Greek Gods in ancient statues etc and they look exactly like humans. Let's remember the Artemision bronze that is called either Poseidon or Zeus depending on the interpretation of what he was about to throw (a lighting bolt or a trident)... I hope this helps.
These podcasts are extraordinarily well researched, im enjoying their content and can appreciate the amount of work and effort each podcast takes to produce. The narrator is articulate and measured, & ive grown to enjoy the strong accent.
Great presentation thank you so much I never can learn enough about the Hittites!
Yes! They are great!
Did you enjoy the watching the video maps that involve the rise and fall of certain Bronze Age Empires? Check out the video description and let them both know that we sent you their way!
The video maps were interesting. I know dates and location of boundaries always have some fluidity depending...
Yes these are extremely helpful to see all these City-States/Kingdoms/Tribes/Empires in relation to each other within the wider region physically and it's especially helpful to see them change through time. Gives the viewer (at least it did for me) a feeling of the kinetic reality of it all, not the static feeling it might have from only using words and non-changing images. THANK YOU!
I’ve been looking for a map just like that! Thank you!
they are confusing because not correlated with the story thats being told
Fantastic presentation of a favorite subject. Long live London!
appreciate the effort and the accessibility
I was expecting Bill & Ted but I got an actual presentation. Well done mate.
A most excellent presentation indeed, dude! **Guitar riff intensifies** 🎶
Nice presentation 👏👏 I'm history teacher in Brasil... Greetings from Brasil
Another great video Nick. Thank you so much!
History of the World podcast thank you for that but more importantly thanks for making all of this possible!
This was indeed an excellent presentation! Thank you!
Great channel! Love it
What are your thoughts on this wonderful presentation on the Hittites? A special thanks to The History of the World Podcast for making all of this possible and for all of his hard work! Show him your support and check out the links listed in the video description above!
The Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages Top notch presentations. Thank you for fine work.
William Burke thanks for the encouragement and appreciation! It is always a pleasure to do what I can for my fellow history lovers such as yourself. People like you are the reason that we do what we do!
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 HI there..really well made.....could you suggest me some books/study materials to learn a little in depth about various civilisations and empires throughout the world at various time periods...especially the middle eastern empires and the south american ones???
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 the podcast claimed iron was stronger than bronze which is false
All good but I still want to hear him say, "you know what I mean".
Love your delivery. Too many other channels have over edited readings that lack a natural cadence an are stressful to listen to. This is a soothing delivery,. I am sure people have mentioned the similarity to Michael Caine
Lol I was going to write :Guy, I just found this badass channel called "Luwian Studies" " but then remembered I heard of it through you😁😁😁
Hahaha! I am glad that you are enjoying it as much as I am! They put out really great material and I can't get enough!
Your name is clever.
Another great channel for learning more about the Hittites and neighbours is the Oriental Institute.
The History of English podcast by Kevin Stroud is FANTASTIC.
Very nice! I'll definitely check out his website
Big Fan! Great work!
Thx for posting
Excellent presentation
Keep up the good work.
Well done as usual
Brilliant! Thank you.
good maps. That's quite the narrator too.
The Hittite Empire Coffee Mug ~ from the Antiquity and the Middle Ages store!
This is the first product that we have put together and I am very excited about it!
The Hittites and their Empire are one of the greatest and earliest civilizations in history. and their empire would expand across Asia Minor, into the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.
If you love the Bronze Age, the Ancient Near East and the Hittites, then this mug is for you! It also has the archaeological rendering of Hattusa on the back!

Very nice. I always ask English people to "slow down and speak clearly" when communicating with other English speaking peoples from other parts of the world. Well done. So cool that this kind of information is so publicly available.Thanks.
Thank You!🙏
You are so welcome
I believe iron was also lighter than bronze giving the wielder a slight speed advantage. As in any skill, if you train with bronze swords against instructors also with bronze swords one develops muscle memory. If you then come up against a real adversary that is a split second faster it would be very difficult to adapt before being bested.
Awesome graphic
Brilliant!!!
There must be something in the air in that part of the world. Only kidding. Thank you very much for these great collaborations it is an excellent supplement to my personal studies of history, literature, and other fascinating topics. It was a rough time and so many factors at play you need a multitude of sources to even begin to understand the change from Sumer, Akkad, Babylon, and other Mesopotamian civilizations and cultures. They were playing a serious game of thrones.

It all depends on the weather. The Germans found out twice, once with Napoleon, last time with Hitler.
Was there a gradual shift in the names of those Hittite kings? up till 17th century BC they sounded more like Indo-Aryan (as if almost lifted from Hindu Puranas) and from 16th century onwards they adopted some local names? however, Mitanni who appeared in 17th century BC has Indo-Aryan names closer to Puranic King names. Just curious.
I have heard from scientists and archeologists and historians from all around the world the Hittites and the Mitttani were Indo - Aryans.
brilliant..
Thankyou.....Australians were mainly from London......Soth African has....A Nordic Ring......American States....Have individual sounds reflecting their origins !!
And my name is Michael Caine, not many people know that.
We do now.
My understanding of the Hittites is that they were Canaanites (according to the bible Gen.10). Do you agree? In this video you said they were Indo-European,if I heard you correctly. Please explain further.
I think killing a ruler always ends his reign.
The Hittites spoke an Indo European language.
Did the Hittites ever venture into the Hellespont?
Interesting question. Most Hittite territorial ambition would have been to their southeast or along the Levantine coastal lands, so they may not have needed to concern themselves with the Hellespont. If we were to believe that Wilusa was the Hittite name of the settlement that controlled access in and out of the Hellespont, then they would have had good knowledge of it, but it was likely governed by other civilisations such as the Assuwa and the Ahhiyawa. If the Hittites gathered wealth from the Black Sea region, it may have been enough for them to have control of the Bosphorus to prevent those who had traversed the Hellespont from further ambition. I don't believe that any evidence exists that will allow us to catagorically answer that question.
Wow amazing we can trace humanity to adam
Is this where Oannes the fish god comes from?
I'm struggling to answer that one!
Muy buena subtitulos en español plis 🙏😇

Some of the Aryans after leaving India, entered Babylon, Assyria and Egypt. They are called Panis in Rig Veda. Most of them settled in Asia Minor (Historians History of the World, 1902). Rig Veda mentioned them as great navigators using Satarika Nau (a ship with 100 oars).
Original people of Assyria were not Semitic. Before 4000 BC, Southern Babylon was the original home of the Sumerians from India and Northern Babylon originally came from central Asia. Modern name Mesopotamia came from the original Madhya Vedi, according to the Historians History of the World (Vol 1 and 2, 1902). One of the most famous King of Babylon was Asur Bani Pal, a pure Sanskrit name. Both Hittite and Mitranis used to speak Indo-European language. Their gods were Vedic gods.
HR Hall, curator of the British Museum wrote (Hall, 1939), “The ethnic type of the Sumerians so strongly marked in their statues and relief was as different from those of the races which surround them as was their language from those of the Semites; they were decidedly Indian in type. The face type of the average Indian of today is no doubt much the same as that of his race ancestors thousands of years ago. And it is by no means improbable that the Sumerians were an Indian race. It was in the Indian home, perhaps the Indus valley; we suppose for them, that their culture developed. There their writings may have invented and progressed from a purely pictorial to a simplified and abbreviated from which afterwards in Babylonia took on its peculiar cuneiform appearance owing to its being written with a square ended stylus on soft-clay. There is little doubt that India must have been one of earliest centres of human civilization and it seems natural to suppose that the strange un-Semitic people who came from the East to civilise the West were of Indian origin, especially when we see with our eyes how very Indian the Sumerians were in type”.
There were linguistic and ethnic resemblance between the Sumerians and the Dravidians, people from South India. Both Rig Veda and Mahabharata mentioned the Deva-Asura war, which lasted 32 years in which Devas, the Aryans of North India, driven other tribes. In both Harappa and Babylon an unknown script was discovered, demonstrating close connection between the Indus valley and Babylon. Woolley in Ur found a similar seal with a very early cuneiform inscription (Woolley, 1929). Indus culture is older than Sumerian and Egyptian culture (Hall, 1939, 1928).
According to the Puranas, the Sumerians were driven out by Rudra to shores of the western sea. The two brothers Vritra and Bala, with their Aryan followers settled in ancient Persia and Mesopotamia respectively. The Panis, allies of the Asuras, were also ousted and they settled down on the shore of the Levant sea, according to the Puranas. Mazumdar (1917) thought it was in 2800 BC but according to the latest research it can be before 9000 BC. Their capital was Tyre.
Indra led the Aryans to Apa, modern Afghanistan. Vritra made a treaty with Indra and founded his capital in Babylon. However, according to Rig Veda, Indra broke that treaty and killed Varitra. Indra then went to East Europe and killed sons of Varashika of the Vrichivat clan ( Rig Veda, V, VI, 27, 5). Thus, Russia, East Europe, Greece, West Asia, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan and India were filled by these Aryans.
(This is quoted from our forthcoming book, 'Ethics, Morality and Business' to be published by Palgrave-Macmillan.)
The Amorites were lovers not fighters.
I do wonder about the seemingly apparent confidence regarding the pronouncing the various languages with the diacritical marks.
This site like any other sites and history books on near east depict and narrate the history after 2500 BC as if the history of west Asia bigins with imiggratin of nomadic semite tribes from Africa to the region. It is very obviouse that the history of this region goes back to more than 12 mellenia dominated by people of non semetic origin. People invented agriculture pottery an slow wheel. They built megalethic sites in South East turkey. Transfered their knowledge to Europe and Britton to build Stonehenge in Britten, Spain & France. They worshiped sun they even dominated the delta of Nile in Eygept their mark is until today could be seen as winged sun in many Egyption architectural sites. Their terotories started from west and north Iran (befor the Persians came to south Iran) to the mediteranian see, the whole Turkey and Lavant. This nation had many dynasties with different names but in the modern time they are called Kurds in which many indoarian and indoeuopian integrated. Apparently the word Kurds is a taboo for the historians and archeologists. I wande how long will be hidden from people.
You grievously exaggerate the use of iron forging among the Hittites. Most agree that any weapons made of iron were so rare they were held by nobility and mainly for display. It is likely the iron used by the ancient Hittites was derived from meteorites and therefore had a high nickel content.
What armenians do on the map 2400 BCE? they most probably apeared in the region by 8th century BC. Do you mean hurrians / proto- urartuans ? Why not include Turkish or Kurdish otherwise ? :-)
Turks arrived from Central Asia in the middle ages. Kurds started migrating to Anatolia around middle ages too. They are Iranian people.
Thankyou....I believe English is ONE THIRD EACH... GERMANIC......GREEK.....LATIN
Seems to me the similarities with the 'aegeans ' are so obvious in architecture pottery artifacts frescoes toponyms , stove masonry etc that makes me wonder if its easier for island people to colonize mainlands or for mainlanders to colonize islands . But the minoans myceneans are much older besides that homo heilelbergensis ( Middle Pleistocene !!!!! ) sites in Crete ( Plakias , Gavdos ) were proven the ability of seamanship seafaring. Heteocretans , Hitites hetteans (h)etruscs from ἐτεός= true ,original ( the accent above ε becomes h as the accent in ὑπέρ becomes h in hyper etc ) . Think twice before challenging.
They're a Mesopotamian people
ARMENIA
The time lapse map is a great idea but unfortunately you can figure this one is 80 percent collective nonsense.
We were taught in school that the Indo European peoples did not exist -- that Indo European refers only to a linguistic group. So it seems that theory is incorrect???
Indo-Europeans are a concept created by linguists and the derivative are the Proto-Indo-Europeans whose identity and origin remain a mystery to this day, with the most popular theory being the Kurgan theory which suggests that Indo-European speakers such as the Hittites and the subsequent Luwians among others eminated from the Eurasian steppe. So by Indo-Europeans we are referencing Indo-European speakers who spoke a language distinct from the Hatti culture, and who possibly migrated into the Hattic lands of Anatolia.
They do have interesting cultural similarities sometimes. And some of the words shares indicate some sort of common culture a very long time ago possibly
Interesting Video, I had to stop listening, could not endure the number of ads vs information streamed.
The Indo European tribes originated from Central Asia. The Turks, Slavs and Germanic migrated out into India, Iran, all of Europe and northern Africa/Middle East...invading the native population of those land to where population of those land today resemble the invading tribes from Central Asia.
"Anthropomorphic" most certainly does NOT mean part human, part animal. Methinks the word you are looking for is "theriomorphic".
Youre
Statement is tschnically correct but I'm pretty sure it was an accident so im going to explain how they came up with the word anthropomorphic
athropomorphic was formed by combining 2 greek roots derived from the words;😮
Anthrõpos which means man.
and
Morphe which means form
Which is why its definiton could be summarized as
Something with features and mannerisms like those of a human, but which is not human.
That's why it explicitly does not apply where somebody who is human exhibits inhuman traits.
So now do you understand how while your statement was technically correct i was 100 percent sure you'd accidentally stumbled into the correct position and though i haven't got to the part he uses it am also asumming the narrator used it right?
Hittites live on as Kurds, some of the major Kurdish clans and their regions still carry the same Hittite names...
at least JL tells you he's gonna plagiarist your work!
Whos' JL, and who's plagiarising who, and how?
@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 I should have time marked it, you said it!
@@hayrayna1314 Yes, I have it now. It's harsh to call it plagiarising. I'm happy that he's planning to use my work! Fun comment though.
@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 yes all good.
One of The oldest tribe of The kurds Hatti or Hittites
Think about this, Abraham brought a cave from ephron the Hittite. Ephron was a son of Heth. Who was Heth? Noah had a son named japheth jap+heth= Japheth. So were the Hittites the sons of Japheth?
Hell yes they were. And the bakka valley is near baalbek. Not Mecca. Baalbek was the mount Solomon built for pharaohs daughter who came up from the city of David which had a mound. I kings 5:13-18. The base of baalbek is the mount. Various temple complexes have been on top of it. It definitely change when the 10 tribe's separated and the Assyrian conquest.
@Vajasrava Nachiketa its like the three original sons of Noah were left. You can say abramhic, but in some way they really just destroyed themselves. Once Israel took possession of canaan, they really didnt try to expand. Unlike the Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians and Romans. The jew just wanted there spot so they could peacefully live up to an impossible law. Together they always did well.
Peace and agap'e.
@Vajasrava Nachiketa those offshoots you talk about such as Nicene creed christianity, Islam, Gnostic Judaism and Buddhism are rooted in Zoroastrianism and Greek philosophy. Nothing in common with Judaism or the law of Moses and therefore the law of the christ. Your twisting the facts. Even Ghandi one said if all the nation got together with teaching of Jesus Christ we have true peace and security. The above is why that never happens. For reasons you said.
Peace and agap'e.
@Vajasrava Nachiketa yes i agree with you and jews and non-Nicene creed christianity always found peace there. But these others were always not peaceful and forcefully pushed themselves and beliefs on others.
@Vajasrava Nachiketa have you ever considered worshipping without eyes. To just have Faith that the father is there, with spirit alone. To rely on knowledge for truth and not an image like a cross or even fire.
@Vajasrava Nachiketa please read psalm 115:1-9; 1 corthinans 2:9,10; john 4:21-24 and hebrews 11:1,2. I'd like to hear your thoughts?
Does this guy not know Arabs are semites???? He classified them separately
The Bedouin have been always around even in the levant (sham) there is desert in Syria and Palestine and Jordan and Iraq down towards the Arabian peninsula when Islam spread out of the Arabian peninsula many of the tribes in sham join them and even today there are still nomadic Arab tribes so I don't understand why they never include the northern Arab tribes and Bedouin tribes outside the Arabian peninsula
Something about the pronunciation was distracting.
No iron wasn't stronger than bronze it was cheaper.
I love this discussion! Yes, society was forced into iron use when the preferred metal was bronze. Bronze was far more practical than iron. However, those who mastered iron found that the weaponry was very effective and durable over time. Iron is actually not much stronger than well produced bronze. The innovation of carburising techniques and effective crucible production really helped to effect iron production positively. This is something that the later Assyrians developed expertise in.
All these event is in kurdistan, they were pure kurds.kudustan of Turkey , Mittan I , Hurrian , kassaet luwien median and Ilamiat are all Ind-Eouropean kingdom and KURD is a name on behalf of all these kingdom because of the languages and the dioluges.Today in 4 part of kurdistan we have many dioluges but still kurds.
In Serbia Kurdi or as we say Gordi means Proud I wold like to now what that means in your language if exist any connection
Semites is wrong term to use
They are Syrians
Not Semites

HITTITES =Portuguese Spanish Irish Scottish English part french , part Nederlands , part Sweden, that is the modern Hittites, Neo Hittites hurrians , and Phoenicians
Bro... this makes no scence in anyway.. crete 130.000 years
Except for some pro-Zionists remarks here and there, a good presentation.
Thank you for the compliment, but this is not a political presentation.
@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 Ofcourse it isn't, Zionism is not only concerned about politics.
@Darth Mercur take your slavery pills.
Darth Mercur.. a worthless pushover.
The map is ok (although there are much better presentations about the Hittites) but the narrator is a catastrophe.
This documentary is downright shameful, which puts Europe at centre of all civilizations
The Hittites are not Indo-European Aryans There is no similarity in language and DNA
Enough with the self-accolades already. Don't say "Excellent Presentation" in the title of every show.
The Hittites : a very overrated "Empire'' !
