This is what the Internet was created for. I really enjoyed this documentary. I've been on a quest to understand the conflicts in the Middle East all my adult life. Now I know why I loved ancient history most in school . And it was not taught in this depth. Thank you.
River God by Wilbur Smith is a real eye opener. Based on scrolls discovered under some plaster. First time I ever heard of Hitites.
No. The problems in the Middle East is due to religion. When you have a belief that says kill or subjugate as a basis for their religion, it means conflict.
I had the privilege of visiting the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara Turkey. There are some wonderful artifacts there.
Actually, The Hittites or Anatolians are NearEastern. Mesopotamians are MiddleEastern
I remember watching this on TV while I was on house arrest like 10 years ago. I remember it was really calming, and informative!!!
This is the kind of stuff I fall asleep to every night. Nothing like the unimaginable horrors of bronze age warfare to blissfully drift away to..
Ahhh yes.@@MrNiceGuyHistory
I know firsthand, the Hittites are brutal
I have put this on before bed a thousand times, it chills out my brainwaves. Same with the movie The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, great soundtrack and narration.
@@MrNiceGuyHistoryany other similar recommendations?
There was a symbol for bread, that he knew from Babylonian or some other language. Then he noticed that there was a word that looked like eat in old German, and a word that looked like water in ancient Latin. Then a word that looks like drink in some other language. And finally Nu looked like Now in Latin. Now I eat bread, now I drink water. Once he got "eat bread", he figured out the rest like Sherlock Holmes. (This is how I remember reading the story when I was a kid.)
yes indeed.
Latin is a derivative of Sanskrit Indian language of antiquity. There is much concealed to poach history and whitewash it. Centuries BC the Indians were so advanced they had flying machines etc and therefore they could have appeared as aliens or "demons".
And the Hittite word for water was wasser
@@brettmuir5679 No, I just looked it up, the Hittite word was "watar". Same as our water. Latin "aqua". Wasser is German. I goofed it up, I guess.

When the anthropologist speaks of king Mursilli’s grief and despair, he does so with so much compassion for a man thousands of year’s dead. it heartens me to see such humanity; a tribute to the effectiveness of the written word as well. Thank you Tolga, for this documentary.
Glad you enjoyed it. The part you mention moves me each time as well and I think brings history to life in a very personal way.

The Hittites were able to establish a powerful state in part due to their respect for history. They recognized that their contemporary society was rooted in past experiences, understanding that the decisions they made were built upon the achievements of their predecessors and would serve as the foundation for the future.
Consequently, they meticulously preserved written records over centuries, continually researching and referencing historical events. This reverence for documentation underscores why the role of scribe, akin to modern-day data management, was one of the most critical positions in their administration.
I wish someone had produced a program like this when taking ancient history in college. The presentation makes the subject easier to understand and enjoyable. Instead of just names, places and dates the program puts a human face to the subject! Well done is not enough praise!
IMAGINATION IS KEY
You Tube can be a great source of information and knowledge if you are careful to sort the genuine from pure sensationalist fiction. The best judge of this is to assess the quality of the production, the narration the general manner in which the subject is being presented. This documentary is a good example of high quality no nonsense production values.
@@paullewis2413 Agree!
They made it. The woke professors pretended it didn't exist. I watched things like this as a child in Elementary School.
Apparently, Hattusa did not have a marketplace, or at least not a major one. Trade was managed top-down rather than catering to street-level bargaining. Hattusa was truly a sacred city, mostly used for daily rituals.

The cinematography was like from the movie, “ The Duelists.” Set during the Napoleonic era.
The narration by Jeremy Irons was dynamic and a good choice. It’s his English accent style, it frames the documentary more like a Hollywood epic movie about the lesser well known Hittite Empire but in a factual manner.
Wow what a documentary, well done! Could watch this several times and not get bored!
This is one of my favorite documentary of all time. Thank you for posting! 👏
Merhaba.Çorum,Beyşehir ve Eregliyi biliyorum.Ceyrek asır sonra böyle bir filmle karşılaşmak güzel. Emeği geçen herkese teşekkürler
Fascinating insite into the famous Hittite Empire. Superbly documented and narrated. The Hittite language is also fascinating and I have decided to embark upon learning their language. I shall watch this documentary again and again. Thank you.
Insightful comment.
After watching this, I’ll have to just listen again, to simply enjoy the wonderful voice of Jeremy Irons, it’s both clear and soft, he makes everything sound like poetry. Plus, I really learn the material if I watch or listen a second time. I love ancient and medieval history, but begin yawning once guns and mechanization of war are introduced to history. War is evil, but it’s part of the human experience and probably the most important factor in human history. So, to learn history, we have to put up with hearing about wars. Praying for an end to war on earth.
When I first heard about the Hittites it blew my mind. Especially the part where they couldn't figure out their language. Because they had finally realized it was not a middle Eastern language, but rather a language from somewhere else. About halfway through this the video it is revealed or they figured it out: ua-cam.com/video/QUOKaodz8Bg/v-deo.html
Me too Jeremy iron the actor of men in the iron mask I didn't know this. Love too medival history so much to learn from.
@@garufiaI've always loved history but I've come to the conclusion that history is just someone's opinion
Benedict Arnold was a traitor to Americans but he was a hero to the British
@@herminepursch2470 In some instances, but I wouldn't say the majority. Talking to your point, the Romans did this to some extent. Especially when it came to Carthage, their bitterest enemy. They made them look more evil than they really were and we know very little about them because the Romans wrote their history after they thoroughly defeated them. Basically wiped them out of history. Not to mention a certain degree of genocide was committed after the two wars with them.
The attenton to detail is stunning in dress, armour, architecture, ritual and religion. I especially liked the spell for curing male impotence :-)
You would
Such a great docu drama. I couldn't get enough. I didn't want it to end. 👍👍
Ask me about it, you only saw it 7 days ago, i saw it 7 years ago and since viewed it with fascination 8 times in full !! It's a masterpiece of script, narration, original music, theatrical renactment. But of all of these the music (performed by the city of Prague Philarmonic orchestra) and the theatrical are the most well done. It's not that Hittite were that great but this docu drama is exceptional. That time when the docu shifts from historical narration to the first Hittite king Hatushalli speaking based on historical texts is extremely moving, it feels real.
If you are interested in historical fiction - Gordon Doherty's Empire's of Bronze series of books - is excellent and has King Hattusilli III as the main hero - really brings the Hittite and Egyptian confilct to life.
@@tigerlikeswater Thanks for the reference ! But i think it becomes romanticized historical fiction when it is turned into novel. This documentary keeps it bare to a minimum. I have indeed read historical fiction books like the Great Armada , an historical attempt of Spain to conquer England that was disastrous for Spain because the English weather is favorable to locals in a war of attrition. It was disapointing. I prefer reading biographies and watch historical docudrama like this one.
@@ericastier1646 No worries - I would just add that the levels of research and academic detail applied by historical fiction writers such as Bernard Cornwell, Doherty, Scarrow and James L Nelson - is high - with most (I'm not sure if Nelson does - but he does the best descriptions of Viking boat building in his stories) providing a historical review and rational at the end of their stories with references to academic history books. A book is able to provide details on culture, architecture, weapons manufacture, battle strategies and tactics that I personally find fascinating.
@@tigerlikeswater great
I keep trying to watch this but as I am watching in the evening in bed I fall asleep to the very soothing narrator’s voice. This will be the 4th attempt. 🤣 stop being so damn soothing.!!

Couldnt stop watching this seamless history of an empire on a personal level. I'll keep an eye out for them in my Bible studies, and other aspects of their story.
Now this was really interesting… I didn’t learn anything about the Hittites in school.. I remember hearing the word in the movie Ghostbusters … I wanted to know more . It’s amazing how much I didn’t know.
I just spent a cold winter's day, cooking and watching this amazing production. Fascinating and illuminating exploration of history that affects both 'Asia Minor' and 'Europe' to this day.
More more more...Sir Jeremy Irons!!!
Fascinating and sensitive, thank you. ... I see at the end of the credits that it was produced in 2003. Thank you for posting it.
Thenthative? LOL
This was GREAT! Very well done! Thank you!
Dear Mr. Ornek,
Thank you for always providing us with wonderful videos.
I watched "The Hittites" in the Japanese version, and I would like to express my sincere respect for the powerful expressions that make me want to see it on a big screen, the balance between dramatic and documentary elements, and your passion for creating a Japanese version to reach Japanese audiences. The video clearly conveys how iron was a crucial technological turning point in human history, and how it strongly influenced people's consciousness (for better or worse).
The various regional peoples' intentions, political strategies, desires, and friendships are well portrayed. It felt as if my mind was transported to the ancient past.
I look forward to your future works.

It could be said in a more clear way, that of 30%...
It is a kind of stupifying us, when giving us that kind of information, in that way. Of course, there must be much more specific info available, perhaps not without much more analysis done. Many DNA zones are to be analized, and their specific variants.
But, no more great effort is done in that direction. The effort is done to make virtual us, according to the knowledge about our DNA expression and effects of "interractions" of different kind - in order to make it all virtually, using powerfull computers and AI. When "they" make people virtual and become able to fabricate them when needed, they'll kill us all
Finally in 1080! Thank you! I watch this film every 1 or 2 years.
The Hittites drew me in, as I was researching the exploits of Tutmosis III. That was back sometime in the late '60s.
Unfortunately, most of the info revolved around war and its technology. Culture was just a series of side notes. This is fascinating.
Very good documentary. Thanks so much for sharing. I really enjoyed it and the visuals and actors made such a wonderful difference in the quality.

It is amazing how an entire major civilization was just recently discovered, lost to history for a long time.
Recently?) maybe for you
and yet it's also the case that they've always been there: from accounts of the Bible to the story of the Fall of Troy, just that only with the discovery of the ruins of the Hittite empire did historians finally fit the pieces of the puzzle together
Best docudrama to date explaining what happened in this area at that time
Beautiful narration!!! Congratulations!! Brilliant!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Mr Irons
a subject that I enjoy, the research and history is of much interest, I very much enjoy the history of the region back thru to the Neolithic and beginning of farming.
Many scholars today are not correct in assuming that the Hatti people and the Hattusa empire were the Biblical Hittites.
The Hatti who fought with Egypt is in fact not in any way linked with the Biblical Hittites.
However the British museum knows this and had admitted it by explaining that two student archaeologists had mistakenly pegged the Biblical Hittite name to the Hatti Empire.
This confuses many.
@@about2mountMısırla savaşan hattiler değildir. Mısırla savaşan hititlerdir. Hattiler anadolunun yerli halkıdır. Hititler ise Anadolu ya sonradan gelen hint-Avrupa kökenli bir haktır.
Great work telling the story of a great civilization. 👍
Unlike most of the Western documentaries, this one is pretty informative. Also, beautifully made. Thank you from the bottom of my history addicted heart!
That's really amazing that they built such a vast empire and eat up Egypt several times. Every empire appears to have a lifespan except for Rome which is like a disease which ebbs and flows rather than is ever cured.
Thank you for posting this 😀
One gets a sense that the HIttite kings/queens were very human, and also living in partnerships. Very interesting. Thank you SOOOO much.
Partners in a sense, but in different domains.
@@gregorynixon2945 Except Pudu was pretty much equal to Hattusilli III because he made her so - she had her own seal and dealt diplomatically with vassal Kings.

Amazing documentary really enjoyed the pacing and the detailing of it.
As a ceramics major with minor in art history i loved the Hittite pottery and ancient Mesopotamian seals. Thank you so much. Wonderful to learn more about the Hittites with such great visuals as well as narration and guest spots with so many professors.❤❤❤ Wonderfully done❤
As a professional hamster tamer, I also really enjoyed the pottery segment.
I just have to ask.....where do you major in ceramics? Seriously. Where? You HAD to have made that up. My degree in Solo cups forces the question.
So basically, you paid for a useless degree that does nothing to feed our family. Well Done!
Fascinating story about the rise and fall of the great empire.
What a truly amazing documentary. Thank you so very much!!
This is excellentt. I had nver had any source cover so many aspects of the history of the Hittites so well before. I'm so sorry such comprehensive and effective documentaries are made in the US are made anymore. Oh well.
This is a work of art-just a brilliant docu-drama. However, I remain skeptical that ALL males shaved their beards. After all the remaining depictions are mainly of nobles, royalty, or priests. Regular farmers or soldiers are rarely, if ever, shown.
I have a hunch that at the time this documentary was made, the Turks were still staunchly Kemalist and didn't want Hittites to be shown as bearded fellas. Just a hunch.
Lice was always an issue

@@user-ru7ql4vp2m You're making up all connections in your horrible English. Except I agree that the Hittites would surely have known about the attack on Troy. However, it is likely the attack was from those known as the Peoples of the Sea, which likely would have included the Achaians (whom the Hittites called Ahhiyawa) and others such as the Danuna (Danaans), Ekwesh (possibly from Kriti), Peleset (Kritins from Knossos) later known as Philistines), and Tjekker (Kritins from Zakros).

Magnificent...thank you so much....
I like learning about peoples and cultures which are no longer around any more, and this happens to be one of them. I know that from reading the Bible, the Hittites were a created group, a group that was not an original group of its own but one that was formed or comprised of other groups to form their own group, namely the Hebrews, the Egyptians, and one or more of the Canaanite groups. From attending grammar school, I also learned that the major contribution from the Hittites was the chariot and that the ancient Egyptians adopted the use of it.
Ok...The Hittires may have amalgamated people from other nations (immigrants, mercenaries) but they were their own culture.
@@annepoitrineau5650 True, but their religion, as was stated in the video, resulted in an amalgamation gathered from what they borrowed from other cultures. It would be interesting to find out which aspects of their culture were not borrowed but uniquely their own.
@@annepoitrineau5650 Come to think of it, if the men wore the distinctive clothing and straight long hair down to their backs as was depicted in this video, that could have been a couple of things.

Chk “PKA Einstein”-I don’t watch them, but 1 host (Taylor) reads an interesting piece about Einstein & his contemporaries, so there’s value in the cIip.
I still need to really look into it, but if even 50% is true, it’s really disappointing.
NO !! Einstein is a known plagiarist ! The inventor of the theory of relativity is the French Mathematician Henry Poincaré. He is also the one who found the famous equation e=mc^2.
And the general theory of relativity was found by Hilbert again not Einstein. The reason for the long false history is purely political and einstein ethnical group's domination of the media.
The Hittite Empire fascinated me from reading Illiad as they were the dominant empire at the time in Anatolia. There is a game called Old World that captures Hittites fairly well.
yet the world forgot them for almost 2500 after collapse of Bronze age civiliations
Hittite is the coolest name for a tribe in human history. Bar none.

Uriah the Hittite, was the husband of Bathsheba. David took Bathsheba and made her pregnant, and this is why David had her husband Uriah killed.
ehh he was really more a Neohittite. By David's time these guys had come and gone
How old is this? When it gets to the 26 minute mark, it starts talking about the Greek and Roman gods descending from the Hittites, but we know that is not true. The Hittite storm gods descend from the PIE storm god, not a Hattian precursor, and by a separate route the Greek and Roman storm gods also descend from the PIE storm god.
The original quality does give late nineties-ealt two thousands for sure, though it does seemed the tinsiest bit biblically biased, and i dont now how they view PIE.
Best regards from Bucarest ROMANIA 💐🤗🌹👍 Jeremy Irons!? What a treat! ... Conclusion: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi....
well done HOWEVER some historical inaccuracies. Hittites were NOT the FIRST kingdom or empire--not by a long shot.
Wikipedia:
The Akkadian Empire (/əˈkeɪdiən/)[4] was the first ancient empire of Mesopotamia, succeeding the long-lived civilization of Sumer. Centered on the city of Akkad (/ˈækæd/)[5] and its surrounding region, the empire would unite Akkadian and Sumerian speakers under one rule and exercised significant influence across Mesopotamia, the Levant, and Anatolia, sending military expeditions as far south as Dilmun and Magan (modern Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman) in the Arabian Peninsula.[6][page needed]
The Akkadian Empire reached its political peak between the 24th and 22nd centuries BC, following the conquests by its founder Sargon of Akkad. Under Sargon and his successors, the Akkadian language was briefly imposed on neighboring conquered states such as Elam and Gutium. Akkad is sometimes regarded as the first empire in history, though the meaning of this term is not precise, and there are earlier Sumerian claimants.[7][8]
It looks like a great deal of effort, time and money was put into making this. Very well done, interesting and informative.
If you make a sequel, it might have the Sea Peoples in it...did they contribute to the fall of the Hittites?
Great stuff, thank you.
the Bronze age collapse occurred between c. 1200 and 1150 bce. All the great Mediterranean nations collapsed except Egypt which hung on--with hardship. It was caused by several factors: drought, famine, earthquakes and other natural disasters, war, disease, and more. The Iron Age was introduced by the peoples northeast of the Black Sea (where the Hittites had originated, long before), the Yamnaya people, also known as the Indo-euro language group.🐎🐎🐎
The sea people were a collection of refugees from the collapse that became pirates to survive.⛵⛵⛵
@@lincolnyaco5626 Accurate insights though much controversy remains. There was a delay of about 300 years after the Collapse when bronze was made less & less, mostly recycled (because of the lack of tin imports), before iron forging became widespread. At least you don't deny the existence of the Peoples of the Sea (name them how you will), which has become a recent academic trend. The evidence is overwhelming of some sort of migratory conquest.
You sound literary and informed enough, @lincolnyaco5626, that you might enjoy my (Gregory Michael Nixon) recent novel: *The Diomedeia: Diomedes, the Peoples of the Sea, and the Fall of the Hittite Empire*. If you are willing to write even a short review, I will send you a free copy.
So good to watch a documentary that doesn't take you for an idiot.
Modern doco's are waste of time. They are all about the host and not the subject material.
I think this is the best documentary on the Hittites I have seen, and I have watched many of them. Love this history and am haunted by this era and these people. To come out of myth and into living history is such an underrated story. The fact that their peace treaty with Egypt is at the UN is SO COOL.

Right, great documentary on the Hittites.Good book on them "The Hittites" published by Thames& Hudson.
s
Around 1:26 mark that sets scene of human repetition from subsequent eras since then.
Ahmenhotep the second was the Pharaoh of the exodus, not Rameses the second. Just saying🕳
Debatable - there are 3 or 4 known candidates.
Fantastic documentary.
Güzel bir belgesel. Emeklerinize teşekkürler! Bir anlamda bizden bir parça olan antik Anadolulular hakkında daha çok şeyler bilmeliyiz.
Pharaoh RAMSES
He was Tutsi of Nyiginya-Singa Tribe! Bantu name for kamose (1554-1549 B.C.E) is KAMASA. It means young BULL. Pharaoh RAMSESSES the BANTU name for RAMESSES is RUMEZA. Ramesses 1st was RUMEZAMIRYANGO Manifatira. His son Seti 1st who was known as Sndi 1st or Yuhi Musindi in RWANDA. Rumeza 1st was founding ruler. He was of the FALCON tribe which gives him the TOTEM Hunghe which gives him the right to be ruler of now ZIMBABWE. TERM "Rumezamiryango" amplifies Rumeza's meaning as "he who accords life to the nations"
Irons Narrations, truly effective and so enjoyable. Yet, the story, written by "Mainstream Archaeologists" is ready for an "Authentic Academics" audit and update. Presently we have so many "Peer Reviewed Findings", and "Repeatable Lab Based Genetic/DNA Findings" that add such value and facts, which are building a far more Authentic story. I look forward to the flow of new findings, the greater facts.
I wish you'd be more specific, at least privately (write to me!). I wrote my novel on the fall of the Hittite Empire and used Trevor Bryce as my main source. I would like to know what's changed aside from new scholars attempting to kill off the fathers, as usual. (I've watched it happen for 40 years.) Yes, I know that Hattusa was largely abandoned before it was finally burned. But otherwise this version seems pretty solid to me.
The new facts are what we call delusions today.
@@michaelgentile9580 What is your "new" DNA evidence, Beth? The Hatti spoke an Indo-European and came down from the north as the Nesa. What's missed is that Hattusa now appears to have been largely abandoned, at least by its elite and military before it was finally burnt to ashes (not abandoned after the burning).
@@michaelgentile9580 It is a fact the new younger scholars feel it is their job to overhrow "the fathers", whatever conclusions had been drawn from the former generations of scholars. Otherwise they won't be noticed.
As an historian who has had the privilege to study history from primary sources available to serious academics I can assure you that socalled mainstream history is for entertainment purposes and to hide the fact that world history is Black history. Shalawam 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽
I watched this doc on the Smithsonian channel at least 5 times. It’s a total fave 👏👏👏👏👏
I am going to watch this later. I gather from reading and a Melvynn Bragg In Our Time podcast that their people were not impressed with having to do all the work and then be taxed. Over taxation will annoy folk every time. Luckily for historians the Hittites like the Babylonians and Egyptians liked their clay tablets.
Wow, that’s a lot of “last words”. The guy writing must have been carving at hyper speed.
Great documentary, unfortunately for me ruined by too much music. Found it very distracting.
There was NO Palestine until the Romans renamed the Land. At the time of the Hittites and Rameses, it was named Canaan.
The Assyrians called the same region "Palashtu/Palastu" or "Pilistu," beginning with Adad-nirari III in the Nimrud Slab in c. 800 BCE through to an Esarhaddon treaty more than a century later.[4][5] Neither the Egyptian nor the Assyrian sources provided clear regional boundaries for the term.[6]
The term "Palestine" first appeared in the 5th century BCE when the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote of a "district of Syria, called Palaistinê" between Phoenicia and Egypt in The Histories.[7]
@ricardboscar1864 they have 0 relation to modern "Palestinians." Who are mostly Turkic arabs which werent even a thing until much much later then Canaan. Very few people lived on Israeli land, a few family tribes here and there, many of whom sold the land to the zionists. Arab muslim supremacy is the issue. There are plenty of Arab and Turkic states, they should go there.
Same relation that modern Israelites have with 1400 BCE jews. What's your point?
By the way, your hasbara points are pretty old news and have long been debunked, so please go try convince someone else.
hasbara, huh? State your sources for the "debunking". I wasn't trying to "convince" anyone of anything, but stating what has been known for ages and ages@@ricardboscar1864
Correct
