    The Hittite empire is not well know here in Brazil and history books often skip them (also the Mittani empire). This is crazy, the Hittite empire was one of the largest bronze age empire. Thankfully I played the original Age Of Empires as an early teen. Most of my history knowledge today came from AoE and Civilization games.

    An interesting factoid about the Hittites is their early use of iron weapons. Although nearly not as prevalent as thought by earlier scholarship…a rare iron sword may have been used here and there (much of it meteoric iron. How cool would it be to have a sword made from meteorites! ) It is still debated how common it was in there empire. The more modern view seems to be very little was used and was more of a luxury item…there is a Hittite record of a vassal king “man of Burushanda” giving an iron throne as a gift in the early Hittite period. Iron was looked at as more of a luxury metal than utilitarian during the Bronze Age it seems-Had the bronze age not collapsed the iron age may have come much earlier.

    Hittitology student here: nice work! It's rare to find good and accurate content on the Hittites online, but you did very well with this video. Thank you for bringing my favourite civilisation to a wider audience!
    PS: This is a bit nitpicky, but while Muršili II lost his wife and two brothers within the same year, it's unknown whether these deaths were caused by the plague or not. In his wife's case, it's likely it was something else, since her death was attributed to Muršili's stepmother cursing her.
    PPS: Shameless self-promotion: I post recordings of ancient languages on my UA-cam channel, and have a couple of recordings of Hittite if you want to hear what it sounded like :)

Rothman regarding the extent of discoveries and specially on the quality of horse bones proved, According to him, that it was from the Shangavit Armenian 6000 years ago that the culture of that area spread around to the ancient world...
      Professor Jensen also says. ‘For almost everything that is known in the Hittite language is Old Armenian in form..Historian Sayce 1845-1933) also consider Hittite and Armenian to be one and the same’. what some historians say...H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan...

      Kurdish civilizations?! What is it exactly that makes such disparate peoples "Kurdish" in your opinion? For example, the Phoenicians were of Semitohamitic ancestry, speaking a Semitic language, the Sumerians are of unknown but pre-IE ancestry, the Hittites were an admixture of pre-IE Hattians and IE Hittites proper... There was no connection among those peoples in antiquity to begin with, let alone a remote connection with the Kurds nowadays. The Kurds are an Iranic people whose probable ancestry has something to do with the Medes, the Gordians (the 'Kardouchoi' mentioned by Xenophon) and maybe even the Hurrians (though it's practically impossible to tell with certainty)... But to retrospectively claim all those different peoples as Kurdish, is absurd!

    The pharaoh's widow was actually Ankhesenamun, wife of Tutankhamen. She was most likely worried about getting booted from the palace as her husband died young and she never carried an heir to term. So her request to the Hittite king was bizarre to them but made sense to her; "give me a prince to make a royal heir with". The king even sent an emissary first to make sure she was being understood correctly, and she sent back a letter with him passing along her offense that she wasn't being believed/taken seriously.

      Gene D. Matlock - What Strange Mystery Unites the Turkish Nations, India, Catholicism, and Mexico?
      In a book about the history of ancient Turkic Afghanistan, I found such biblical personages as King David, Saul, Adam and Eve, Goliath, and even Solomon. However, in the Afghan account, Goliath was riding on an elephant when David knocked him off the elephant. The Afghan account mentioned that after being banished from Eden, Adam went to Ceylon or what is now Sri Lanka (Serendipity). Eve went to Jiddah, in Arabia. (Ref: History of The Afghans, by Khwaja Neamat Ullah.) It was painfully difficult for me to challenge, weaken and anesthetize my previous religious conditionings. After all, I was born Christian and still am. But I remained strong and resolute in my quest. I did not overlook any kind of anomaly, such as the strange similarities between Brahm-Abraham, Sarah-Saraisvati, and Hakra (Hagar?). I also found other Noahs and several Moseses in Hindu myths, but the Hindus say that many of the myths in their holy books occurred in Central Asia, especially in Siberia, ancestral home of all the Turkish peoples. Even the biblical Hindu Hittites and Amorites, the fathers and mothers of Jerusalem, also Abraham and Sarah, were Turks. If one cannot accept that the Hittites and Amorites were Turkish Krishtayas, he’ll never get any sense out of the Bible.

      @lobsterbale Legesse What do you mean they were "described" as proto-mongoloid on Egyptian walls? If you're referring to their eye shapes.....the Egyptians had a way of exaggerating facial features so that the eyes appeared at time to be very slanted and almost shaped, ALMOST mongoloid. But not every Caucasian has big round eyes like the Greeks tended to have!
      There is no evidence that the Hittites had anything to do with the mongoloid race. Mongoloids have a different history from Europeans and Western Asiatics and a completely different culture, as a whole.

    The Hittites descendants were eventually conquered and assimilated by the Greeks of Asia Minor. They were the Byzantine Greeks of the middle ages. The Byzantine Greeks were eventually conquered by the central Asian Muslim Turks. Most of these Byzantine Greeks (also known as Anatolian Greeks) converted to Islam and Turkish speech during Ottoman rule and became today's Turks, those Anatolian Greeks who resisted the conversion to Islam retained regional identities (like Cappadocian Greeks for example) were sent to Greece during the Population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923.

The Archaeological history about the Hittites is equally astonishing. Very few people know today that around one or two hundred years ago, the Hittites, were considered fables in the Old Testament as there was no real record of their existence until Archaeology proved their existence. I'm kinda shocked you didn't mention this in your video about them.

    Hattusa the capital of The Hittite empire is still great and magnificent. You easily realize how strong and civilized there were when you visit this historic place. I strongly recommend you visit and have a walk through still existed city walls and the tunnel which is 3000 years old

      The crazy thing about it is that the capital was in modern day Çorum, also known as the geographical center of the world.

    Can you do a video explaining where the Arabs stood at the Mesopotamian empires time? Or on the Arab people before Islam

      Hammurapi was not an Arab,
      his name sounds Arabic because Assyrian and Arabic belong to the semitic languages.

      @kurd means strong
      everything u said is wrong
      hammurabi is not arab .
      bablyonia and arabia were alwayes hating each other specially becuz nomadic arabs attacked bablyonia.
      first arabs "inhabits" mesopotamia Lakhm tribe(christian tribe)

    "His single act of mercy united the land of Hattu." That really is the kind of thing you read in a legend, not real life. Sometimes it really hits me that this IS the Time of Legend for our own real world.

    Funny thing is Hattusili grammaticly means "from Hattusi" in Turkish language too. -li means "from". Its a nice coincidence.
