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.

@kurd means strong 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!

Strange thing but, it existes.
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.

Manly Man …OMG…Yeah I know it comes from a Semitic language…Like friggin Phoenician, Aramaic, Arabic, and that fascist cesspool to west over yonder next Egypt whom I refuse to mention.
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.
Thanks for putting that together. I'd just read an article about the Hittites' war chariots, and I was interested in learning something about the Hittites - but not so interested that I wanted to watch an hour-long documentary. So this was perfect.
Amazing video. Just excellent. The Hittites are some of my favorite civilizations to study. Their chariots were so awesome, just think about the chariot is awesome. I learned today they were even more interesting. Also, its funny how some people are nearly hyper realistic paintings and some are stickmen in your videos. Great art
The Hittites learned from ancient Semitic civilizations such as Babylon, Assyria and ancient Egypt, and were very influenced by the civilizations of ancient Iraq. Although the Hittites are Indo-European peoples, it shows you the extent to which human peoples learn from each other ❤️❤️
The ancient Egyptians were of the indo-european language family and shared common ancestors with neolithic Europeans. (Latins, Celts, Slavs, Germanics, Greeks, etc.)
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.
From what I have read, for a very long time, the Hittites were virtually forgotten by the world and the only source that mentioned them came from the Bible until the archaeologists started rediscovering Hittite architectures in Anatolia.
The rediscovery of the Hittites actually began with Hittite sculpture rather than architecture. European scholars discovered Hittite rock reliefs in Syria and believed that they were Hittite, but had no proof of it until the translation of the Hittite texts.
Great video! I’ve been loving this Bronze Age series! It would seem that someone’s been reading Eric Cline’s book, “1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed.”

Your videos are great and informative. I really enjoy watching them and hearing your other voices representing the group you are primarily talking about. 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. Some consider it to be an astonishing moment in history when one of the few times that the Bible was proved to be right on a given topic....namely the fact that they existed.
Informative, beautiful and very nicely done, 10 minutes of happiness on a wonderful subject...Makes me want to repaint my Hittite figurines army ... and to subscribe ...Done 👍👍👍

Great vid bro! Again with amazing art, I always heard the Hitties were infamous for their warfare. Fun fact Uriah (one of King Davids men) was a hittie...
@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.

I really love everything about this channel! Wish I could see your presentation of the Hebraic and Israelite people who ended up becoming the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. I know that you like to cover uncover overlooked histories but I'm sure there are aspects of history that are perpetually overlooked. I especially would like to know the connection between the Hebraic people, Sumerian, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Canaanite people's & Persians, pre-Islamic Arabians...
Hittites and other Anatolians Hellenized than Turkified. Making Cappadocian Greeks, Anatolian Turks, some individuals of other nearby ethnicities, and Pontic Greeks descendants of Anatolians like the Hittites. Though some individuals do to interethnic marriage in family tree from nearby land areas also descend partially from Hittites and related Anatolian peoples.
@Helios Megistos no I'm not saying Hittites are Turk. Though they have mix with Turks and Greeks. Turks from that one southwest Turkey province have up to 35% Medieval Oghuz dna and the rest is Anatolian or Greek. I'm talking about Illustrative dna sources btw. So mixing has happened. But Hittites, Luwains, Carians and other Bronze Age Anatolian populations, ARE NOT!!! Turkic.
Saw a documentary which suggested that the Hittite Empire actually broke up due to internal division, and they vacated their capital, burning it as they left. What is sure, is that the burning process helped preserve the clay tablets in the Library of Hattusa, containing the Hittite diplomatic correspondence. Quiz question, did anyone spot the Hittite reference in the original King Kong film?
KTChamberlain I am betting you would be able to manage a straight face if you were suddenly in Suppilulma's court, prostrate before his throne, with all his court torturers rubbing their fingers while looking at you. It is all just a matter of perspective!
"Subbiluliuma". Or if you must, "Suppiluliuma". But the most recent Hittite scholarship trying to figure out how to pronounce Hittite words leans towards voiced ('b') consonants when internal to a word, and voiceless ('p') at the beginning or end of a word. And the reason you can't say it with a straight face is because it's funny as hell. :-) Next up for don't laugh: Pudu-Hepa, wife of Hattusili (or Haddusili) III.
I like ancient history much more than medieval history and everything that comes after, theres just something about the ancoent civilizations that make them so cool
Good Sir, I LOVE your channel. Thank you so much for bringing light to all these topics. I'm not sure if you'd like to see requests but for what it's worth, I'd love to see you tackle the history of Carthage?

Kemet Egypt knew most medicine we know today in its natural Form. It was alchemy capital in those days. They did their war time study well to lure Supilluliuma send his son to Egypt only to be killed as fugitive.

Your videos are great and informative. I really enjoy watching them and hearing your other voices representing the group you are primarily talking about. 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. Some consider it to be an astonishing moment in history when one of the few times that the Bible was proved to be right on a given topic....namely the fact that they existed.
Love the way you explained it
You have a good history voice!
Lets give it up for Supiluliyuma and the hittites! With their smash hit: money, women and gold.
The Hittites only had two songs in the charts and often used sessionists for the more difficult solos.
Ghost musicians?
That's why they're often called "The Shittites"
Great info..thank you for sharing!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!
Informative, beautiful and very nicely done, 10 minutes of happiness on a wonderful subject...Makes me want to repaint my Hittite figurines army ... and to subscribe ...Done 👍👍👍
Awesome...painted some foundry Assyrians back in the day, also a few Egyptian chariots. 28mm stuff is so cool
@@EpimetheusHistory Well, 15mm for me (ouch, my poor eyes!), but Hittites and Egyptian chariots are one of my favourite figures...Once again congrats for your vid!
Go on, you know you want to.
Your actually great for covering such great but less spoken of history
Thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Great vid bro! Again with amazing art, I always heard the Hitties were infamous for their warfare. Fun fact Uriah (one of King Davids men) was a hittie...
Wow, I forgot about that. Nice!
@@will2003michael2003 oh...
@lobsterbale Legesse really? I always saw them as Asiatic middle-easterns...
@lobsterbale Legesse They were Caucasoid people.
@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.
Will subscribe. Love your soothing voice and the way you tell the history of different groups. I'm aHistory buff myself and love the info. you provided!
Thank you for Subbing Vanessa :)
I love history ..,I really enjoyed ,thank you
Brilliant, thanks!
Your bronze age videos are my favorite.
Mine too.
i really loved this video it shows how societies were complicated even in the bronze age
Thank you very much...very educative
Good stuff !
I really love everything about this channel! Wish I could see your presentation of the Hebraic and Israelite people who ended up becoming the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims. I know that you like to cover uncover overlooked histories but I'm sure there are aspects of history that are perpetually overlooked. I especially would like to know the connection between the Hebraic people, Sumerian, Hittites, Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Canaanite people's & Persians, pre-Islamic Arabians...
The Israelites used to go to war against the hittites
Hittites and other Anatolians Hellenized than Turkified. Making Cappadocian Greeks, Anatolian Turks, some individuals of other nearby ethnicities, and Pontic Greeks descendants of Anatolians like the Hittites. Though some individuals do to interethnic marriage in family tree from nearby land areas also descend partially from Hittites and related Anatolian peoples.
@Helios Megistos no I'm not saying Hittites are Turk.
Though they have mix with Turks and Greeks.
Turks from that one southwest Turkey province have up to 35% Medieval Oghuz dna and the rest is Anatolian or Greek.
I'm talking about Illustrative dna sources btw.
So mixing has happened.
But Hittites, Luwains, Carians and other Bronze Age Anatolian populations, ARE NOT!!! Turkic.
@Helios Megistos alright.
@@Evansdrad8515Central Asian Turkic DNA very rare in Turkey mostly people Anatolian as I am
Discovered you on Bitchute. Keep making great content
Excellent!
Saw a documentary which suggested that the Hittite Empire actually broke up due to internal division, and they vacated their capital, burning it as they left. What is sure, is that the burning process helped preserve the clay tablets in the Library of Hattusa, containing the Hittite diplomatic correspondence. Quiz question, did anyone spot the Hittite reference in the original King Kong film?
Oh whoa... Hittites are early Klingons...
Subscribed.
Beautiful.
Well done👍
Nice video can you do persian and medians origins 👍🏻
this is where i from guys. hattusas ruins is 100 km away from my city
Lucky
I did my ancestry DNA and I have Cyprus and greek DNA along with much middle eastern it all makes sense
@The Martial Lord of Loyalty word bro
neo İlbasan where are u from? My family is from Corum and its very near the place where they found the Hitit civilization
@@Aemond2024 go cry somewhere else. Not under my comment.
Learned something unexpected clicked on this out of curiosity thanks
You are the best thing on youtube
History of the bronze age is like fantasy to me. Don't really know the reason, but I am simple overwhelmed by it. Thanks for the videos m8.
Great video! Do one on Dravidians and their origins.
Cool video!
Awesome. if i can ask, i want you to make one about Lydia
Suppiluliuma: greatest name in bronze age history

@pan-islamist national socialist turkije. Ha siktir lan bok
Spirulina is good for health
Such a hippie name 🤣
I don't know why exactly, but Suppilulma is a name I can't say with a straight face.
KTChamberlain I am betting you would be able to manage a straight face if you were suddenly in Suppilulma's court, prostrate before his throne, with all his court torturers rubbing their fingers while looking at you. It is all just a matter of perspective!
"Subbiluliuma". Or if you must, "Suppiluliuma". But the most recent Hittite scholarship trying to figure out how to pronounce Hittite words leans towards voiced ('b') consonants when internal to a word, and voiceless ('p') at the beginning or end of a word.
And the reason you can't say it with a straight face is because it's funny as hell. :-)
Next up for don't laugh: Pudu-Hepa, wife of Hattusili (or Haddusili) III.
skip to my lou my darling
Bramble451 Puda-Hepa was Babylonian wasn’t she?
KTChamberlain I’m guess that his contemporaries couldn’t either. That’s why he was such an angry individual.
I like ancient history much more than medieval history and everything that comes after, theres just something about the ancoent civilizations that make them so cool
Great video.
Can you do one about thracians?
Liked and subbed👍 Do you have videos about the Scythians and the Huns?
They are Turkic ancestors
Good Sir, I LOVE your channel. Thank you so much for bringing light to all these topics. I'm not sure if you'd like to see requests but for what it's worth, I'd love to see you tackle the history of Carthage? I'm aware you're looking to deal with the lesser known parts of ancient history, so if Carthage is too "hip" for your channel ;P perhaps a video on Phoenicia then? In any case thank you for your work, I am addicted to these videos
a good clear documentry.
Awesome and entertaining as always.s o the Egypt ians knew the use of bioweapons or is it just a coincidence.
Thanks man!
Most likely coincidence...but never know
Kemet Egypt knew most medicine we know today in its natural Form. It was alchemy capital in those days. They did their war time study well to lure Supilluliuma send his son to Egypt only to be killed as fugitive.
I first found out about Hittites in age of empires 1 demo campaign. I was starting high school back then and I never heard about them before and the information was hard to come by, since they weren't famous like Sumerians or Egyptians.
The same as i. Since the aoe1 demo these where my favourite ancient culture and i am looking forward to play as them in Total War Pharao
