    It is interesting that the Hittites were so important in their time that others took on their name and culture after their fall. With out finding those texts and their ruins and breaking the code we would never know of them, interesting vid, Cy.

    • @HistorywithCy
      @HistorywithCy  Před 4 lety +3

      Yeah I think that Hittite history in general is underrated. Egypt, Assyria and Babylon are also important but I don't think that Hittite history is viewed by many as being on an equal footing, don't know why that is. Perhaps because in retrospect, it was more fleeting and much shorter (the histories of Egypt, Babylonia and Assyria stretching over millennia). Perhaps also because fewer Hittite artifacts have been uncovered. I'm not sure, but their influence and the fear that they put into the hearts of their enemies clearly is stated in records from Egypt and texts from Mesopotamia.
      Anyway, thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it...stay safe!

      @ruthnovena40 The Hittite empire itself took the name, city and religious practices of a much older culture that originally built that city but not much is known or at least discussed about them. This makes sense when you think that in the older days, at times the conquering armies would end up constituting a minority of the area they conquered, and the surrounding population would probably still be made up of people from the conquered culture. Consider the Nubian/Kushite Pharaohs in Egypt, Akkadians in Sumer etc.

    Fascinating! Good for Azatiwadas! He seems to have had the courage of his convictions: he worked hard to run a just and efficient country, was proud of what he’d done for his people, and wanted posterity to know it. He gives full credit to the gods who helped him, and basically teaches us, or warns us, that great achievements are only possible if our actions are grounded in sound principles and informed by reverence for a higher power.

      The svastika is everything but Indoeuropean: oldest known (after Paleolithic) are from Samarra culture, precursor of Sumerian civilization. In general the scatter of svastikas and similar symbols across the World, which reach even to Native America, is mainly in areas with no or late Indoeuropean presence, such as Western Europe, Southern India, iran itself (only Indoeuropeanized in the Iron Age with the Median Empire), East Asia, etc.
      As for stags and wolves, they have also been used in many cultures, I see no particular relation with Indoeuropeans. Stags were iconic in Neolithic Iberian rock art (but replaced by bulls upon the Bell Beaker migration), wolves I mostly associate with Turkics, if anything.

    Have you considered including the relief on your maps? It need only be a slight background shading. For the history of Anatolia and Persia it's very relevant. I imagine it would be hard or expensive to source good maps, but even hand drawn indication of mountains would be helpful IMO. But, modern satellite maps are no good, much of the area, if not most, that is now desert thanks to soil loss was green in ancient times.

      But there was no Anatolia nor Syria yet. The name "Syria" is a deformation of Assyria, and obviously was only gained after Assyrian conquest, the name Anatolia ('Anatolé) means "the East" or "the Levant" in ancient Greek and can only be conceived to have been in use, with a loose meaning, in a Greek cultural context. Neo-Hittite or Luwian states is the most correct name. Please stop trying to make the past to fit modern political concepts and (usually nationalist) claims.

      @@TheBurningLion - Did you know that Constantius Chloros wanted to rename the Roman Empire as "Dacian Empire" upon moving the capital to the East by his boss Diocletian? IMO that's exactly when the Roman Empire ends and the Byzantine Empire or "post-Roman neo-Hellenistic would-soon-be-Christian Constantinopolitan Empire" begins. It's another story but what I mean is that use of the term "Byzantine Empire" is extremely justified and what is much less justified is the annoying insistence of philo-Christian philo-Greeks to demand that it is called "Roman Empire", when it clearly had less and less to do with Rome. Did you know that Diocletian hated Rome so much that he only visited the city at the very end of his reign and that he was so outraged by Romans treating him as "just another citizen" (not prostrating at his feet, etc.) that he left Rome in anger and when he did so he became so extremely ill for months that he was believed dead at times. When he recovered he resigned his position, leaving the just-reformed "Roman" Empire to manage on its own, what was a disaster. The Principate was authoritarian Italian colonialism but the Dominate was a total disaster, the beginning of barbarism, one could even say that the first barbarian invasion of Rome was that of the Balcanic generals, who clearly set the stage for the Middle Ages and the later invasions by establishing feudalism, an anti-economic too strong revalued coinage (which quickly became almost not used at all except by the state itself) and filling the army with mercenaries, as the "citizens" had been turned into serfs.
      But as I say, this is another story, I just mean that the term "Byzantine Empire" is extremely justified, although "Constantinopolitan Empire" would be better, it is a bit of a mouthful, so Byzantine it is.
      As the video says the Neo-Hittite states were Luwian by official language and that has been known since long ago (the Aramean states are mostly not included in this category, even if they are related), however the Hittite Empire had Luwian as one of its three "official" languages (the other two being Nesili/Hittite and Hattic), so this makes total sense. After all Luwians and Hittites were almost the same nation (ethnicity) and their languages are very close, like a pair of Romance languages, probably a mutually intelligible pair. Nesili (Hittite) was a peculiarly successful Luwian dialect, nothing else, just as Spanish is a peculiarly succesful Italian dialect.
      Also, as the video states, at least a one major neo-Hittite state had direct heritage of their royal house from the Hittite Empire and in general all them were directly derived from the Hittite Empire after this one was destroyed. It was not any ex-novo conquest by exogenous Luwians, so there is quite good reason to call the Neo-Hittite, as they are exactly that: the fragmented remnants of the Hittite Empire. They are even called Hittite by a "historical source" (if we agree that the Bible can be considered that to some extent), in fact it is from the Bible that we get the word "Hittite" instead of Hatti or Nesili.
      Said all that, I'm OK to call them "Luwian states"... BUT this poses the problem of the other Luwian states such as Lycia or Lydia, which are left outside (reasonably so?) from the "Neo-Hittite" category. I do ponder the question if this is reasonable because they certainly had at least Hittite overlordship influence at some times, but at other times Lukka (Lycia) and Mira (proto-Lydia?) acted as powers of their own instead, they might have even been co-responsible of the destruction of the Hittite Empire (at the very least the Lukka/Lycians are counted among the Sea Peoples).
      But I have no major issue about calling them "Luwian states" (or "Luwio-Aramean" if you include the "Bits" in the pack) what I strongly disagree is with calling them "Syro-Anatolian", which gives undue relevance to Assyrians and Greeks historically or to the modern states of Syria and Turkey. That makes no sense. The most problematic part is the use of the term "Anatolia", which modernly is used by Turkish nationalism/imperialism very aggresively, expanding the concept of Anatolia (Asia Minor) to Upper Mesopotamia, because we can maybe accept that Syria has a long history as regional name, at least since Roman times and including much of that area often, but "Anatolia"? Nope! If anything I could consider "Syro-Cilician".

Your last podcast ended in the reign of ashur dan I, so your next podcast should start with ashur dan death and end with the start of the neo assyrian empire. Apart from the reign of tiglath pileser I, you barely talked about this period of assyrian history.
      But it is your youtube channel, so it is up to you to decide if there will be a part 5. This is just my recommendation.
      Keep up the good work and stay safe

      Thanks for your interest in the podcast...you're one of the few who have actually asked about continuing it, so maybe I think I will. It's just that currently I do have a lot on my plate but perhaps later on this summer I'll come back to it. Podcasts are much easier to put together so it shouldn't take as long as making a video. Thanks again for the suggestion, stay safe!

    It would be interesting to see what the Anatolian branches of Indo European would've evolved into by this point in time. Given that father in Hittite is "Attas" and in Luwian "Tati", one could infer they would've had a similar evolution to Celtic languages. The Celtic languages were the first to straight up drop the p from "P'ter" (father in P.I.E), first giving us Ater and evolving to "Attis" by the time of the Gaulish language.

    Ancient History seems far more complicated and obtuse than Modern History. Diverse kingdoms and civilizations seem to appear out of nowhere, and then just as quickly disappear, taking their languages and culture with them. There must have been dozens of languages: semitic, indo-aryan, and isolate, which were spoken and then disappeared into the mists of time.

      Hi, thanks for stopping by and your question. No, I wouldn't say first kingdom because there are many ruins of earlier kingdoms and settlements all across Anatolia, but it's definitely one of the earliest that we have a good deal of information about, in part due to archaeologists' ability to translate the Hittite (Nesite) and Luwian languages.

      The Hittites conquered the original people named Hatti. Their neighbors then called the conquerors Hatti (which is where we get the name Hittite). The origins of the original Hatti and the Kaškas are unknown but many think they they were peoples that migrated out of the Caucasus ( maybe from the Maikop culture).

    FACTS: hittite people were very influenced by babylon and assyria later
    That they treated akkadian and assyrian later as thier second language and they had serval political marriage and sometimes a normal marriage
    However some elite of hittite started to fear as nearly everything started to become similar to that of thier mesopotamian neighbours including gods and lifestyle so they started to do
    Thier best efforts to maintain distance from the two cultures it successfully worked but unfortunately after assyrian rise to power this all did crumble as hittite ceased to exist as political and separate entity However luwain language was the one to survive and being used later by hittite and luwain and other anatolian leaders and Kings assyrian and theirs religion also becomed the second language and religion for many anatolian
    Modern study claims that people from syria Lebanon southern Turkish Arab and some iraqi have a genetic connection to hittite people but farther places like Jordan and Palestine doesn't had it
    This according to researcher prove that hittite people were assimilated to mesopotamian people over the course of time

However in other areas such as Greece it seems like there was never anything but city-states, monarchic but city-sized or barely larger.
