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.
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.
@@Ismail0zACTUALLY "Near East" and "Middle East" are generally considered to refer to the same geographical region, with "Middle East" becoming the more widely used term today, although "Near East" was historically used to describe the eastern part of the Ottoman Empire, particularly the area around the eastern Mediterranean Sea; both terms are considered Eurocentric and can be debated in terms of exact boundaries depending on the context. In other words, you're wrong and noone likes you.
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.

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!
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.
Really interesting especially about their religion. Ancient peoples were so clued in to the natural world and their connection with the hidden realms. We have lost these insights sadly.

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: ruclips.net/video/QUOKaodz8Bg/видео.html
@@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 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!
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.!!
Perhaps ancient history is not your cup of tea... perhaps you are follower not a leader... given you are not driven by the spirit but sensory stimuli (reaction=non creative quantum inFORMation Entanglement)
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.
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.
Thank you so much for your nice comments. Check out Gallipoli if you can. We will also upload a new film on Noah’s Ark and the Rosetta stone in August.
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.
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.
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.)
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".
@@watermelonlalala thanks for the info. Wasser/water; mein fruend/my friend, nacht/night, tomaten/tomato, kartoffeln/potato....its all indo-euro to me. I wonder what other words we share
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.
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.
What a magnificent portrait of a people and their civilization. The recorded lives of its kings give such a profound insight in how little our lives, thoughts and emotions differ from theirs. This recording is of a Shakespeare-like quality: endearing an deeply empathetic. This is visualized storytelling of the highest quality. Sincere compliments Mr. Oernek (please excuse my writing: I do not know how to get the two points on the capital letter O). I'd be delighted to see more of your outstanding work. Thank you very much for sharing it on this medium. Kind regards from the Netherlands.

@@lynnfisher3037 Well, certainly we all have egos, but that does not mean we're all self centered narcissists that cause all problems human kind or the world at large faces. If that were the case, Donald Trump would be the predominant type of human being. Which is, I hope is clear to you as well, is not the case. But to go back to the topic at hand, how does your comment relate to my comment exactly? I can't see the connection.
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.
@@gregorynixonAUTHOR 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.
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.
The hittites where esentially a people who embodied the mentality of, "learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.". Yet in the end got F by plagues, droughts, and infighting. One can only wonder what they could had achieved if they had managed to avoid those.
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.
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❤
This is great! How could those early archaeologists not be interested in this fascinating civilization? I certainly am. Thanks so much, this film must have been tons of work🙂
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.
@@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.
This very well could describe Israel as Is Ra El combines three gods from the Ancient Egyptians Ra/ Isis, Phoenicians and Israelites (El: Elohim). Thus the origin of the holy trinity
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.
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.

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. Lynn in Naples FL.
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.
Well done.History of Kingdom of HĂRȚI,with Hattusha-capital.They are allys of pelasg and greek and Dacians-getae.Troya was Allied with Hatti and the Greek can,t conquer this land.was war and war with asirian-babilonian Kingdom Aegipetus and Mises with J 49:26 Josuah distroying that lands.(see the Bible,around 1257 B C.)All hetites are shaving their barbes.Vergilius said about Prince Eneas,Prince pelasgus escaped from Troy.REMUS AND ROMULUS will built-in the ROME AND CONSTANTINOPOLES.Hatti Kingdom was asimilated by Mezo-persian empire till to Cyrus and Darius.😮😮😮😮
@@GeorgeBIZINICHI 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).
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.
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.

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
They pretty much consider the bible a myth , but who else could explain the demise of the Hittite kingdom during the precise time GOD was heading up the Israeli army purging the land ahead of Joshua. Then the brief mention of Uriah the hittite during the reign of David as king of Israel
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
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.
Fascinating. Such wonderful scholarship. And Hrozny, the Czech who deciphered the writing in 1915: what an accomplishment, equal to the other great discovery of 1915, Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Yes, exactly. What a tank and hero to mankind. I’m glad you wrote his name, I just did lol. 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.
schitterende en zeer gedegen documentaire en zeer interessant en leerzaam en tenzeerste ervan genoten,en dank ervoor dat ik dit kon bekijken.het was zeer de moeite waardt!
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.
Canaan and the Hittites are featured in the Old Testament, which is solid history. They didn’t influence the Bible, it was just accurate history in the Bible.
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. Thanks to all involved in making this and getting it up on YT Edit: This film really made me want to visit Boğazköy in winter. Late August was primetime but those winter scenes made me yearn to visit Turkey again...so much. Turkiye seviyorum şimde. ÇOK GUZEL. Teşekurederim
I hope they have something new to bring to the table because this has been done to death. It's brilliant history. Not talked about like Egypt is but it has left a great legacy. ✌️☘️
The Hittites, Gitti when pronounced correctly, were a Thracian tribe, from the sons of Righteous Japheth, son of Noah. They actually spoke the Thracian language, from which modern Bulgarian derives. Jesus came from both the bloodline of Shem and Japheth as Bathsheba was Gitti who married King David from which Solomon was born. Very easily verified.
@chaim The Christ Jesus was born of Miriam...who indeed had that human lineage. However, His father was Almighty God - not of human bloodline. The DNA of Christ Jesus only shows a maternal history. As God and Son of God, Jesus has no traceable paternal DNA. Fact.
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.
@@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 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽

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]
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.
When I was in Turkiye I came across people who pronounced Hittites as High-tight-teas rather than Hit-tights. I've often wondered if that alternative is more historically correct.
Every country pronounces many proper names differently. In Turkey we pronounce it as "Hit-it-ler" I don't know why the people you met pronounced it the way you mentioned, maybe they learnt it wrong 😅 . @@rjlchristie
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.
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
Hittite and Hitties mentions more than a few times in the bible in several different books of it as listed in Strong's and other concordances which listed more times than I want to repeat.
In my opinion, the Battle of Kadesh should not be described from the exclusive point of view of the Hittites or the Egyptians. We already know that the two kings described this battle differently.
I love how much extremely accurate history is recorded in the Bible, only to be dismissed by academia because the Bible is a “religious” book, only then to be re-affirmed by Archeology amazingly accurate in time and place. The Bible is a great book of history, and the greatest book of ancient history to be recorded. Amen 🙏.
I'm not sure that the Hittites actually conquered the Kaska peoples. They lived in the mountains north of the Hittite controlled cities and it seems that they continued to raid the Hittite settlements. But this is a great video on the little known Hittite empire. They called themselves Neshi. The word "Hittite" is a western construct.
A western construct? Good. After all, Hittites were indoeuropeans. Except that the first to call them Hittites were actually the Jews. Who are NOT Westerners now as they were NOT at the time. So you have only demonstrated your ignorance or your ridiculous preconception. Are you ignorant or woke? Or both?🤣
As far as the Kaska are concerned, a territory can be conquered and remain unruly, for years, decades, even centuries. So your doubts are completely nonsense, historically speaking.
Didn't Cleopatra ask the Hittites for assistance?... meaning thst was about a thousand years later?...so they must have been strong at least till then and after?...

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
@@Ismail0zACTUALLY "Near East" and "Middle East" are generally considered to refer to the same geographical region, with "Middle East" becoming the more widely used term today, although "Near East" was historically used to describe the eastern part of the Ottoman Empire, particularly the area around the eastern Mediterranean Sea; both terms are considered Eurocentric and can be debated in terms of exact boundaries depending on the context.
In other words, you're wrong and noone likes you.
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.

PEACEMA' NY !
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: ruclips.net/video/QUOKaodz8Bg/видео.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 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!
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.!!

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.
Thank you so much for your nice comments. Check out Gallipoli if you can. We will also upload a new film on Noah’s Ark and the Rosetta stone in August.
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.
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.
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.

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.

What a magnificent portrait of a people and their civilization. The recorded lives of its kings give such a profound insight in how little our lives, thoughts and emotions differ from theirs.

Beautiful narration!!! Congratulations!! Brilliant!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Mr Irons
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.

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.
@@gregorynixonAUTHOR 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.
@@tigerlikeswater I've read that too, but they mostly had different areas of responsibility.
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.
The hittites where esentially a people who embodied the mentality of, "learn from history or be doomed to repeat it.". Yet in the end got F by plagues, droughts, and infighting.
One can only wonder what they could had achieved if they had managed to avoid those.

This is great! How could those early archaeologists not be interested in this fascinating civilization? I certainly am. Thanks so much, this film must have been tons of work🙂
Are you a descendant of the hitites ?
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.
israelites
This very well could describe Israel as Is Ra El combines three gods from the Ancient Egyptians Ra/ Isis, Phoenicians and Israelites (El: Elohim). Thus the origin of the holy trinity
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.
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.

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.

@@GeorgeBIZINICHI 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).
@@einsjamYou must have thought that the Kemalists were the same as your intelligence. Congratulations on such a stupid claim.😅👌
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.
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.

Finally in 1080! Thank you! I watch this film every 1 or 2 years.
çok güzel bi belgesel daha önce nasıl da görmemişim dna ım %30 unu eski anadolu çiftçileri oluşturuyor
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
The Exodus took place around 1450 BC. Rameses ll ruled about 200 years after that. He was not the Pharoah at the time of the exodus.
Wao,.
They pretty much consider the bible a myth , but who else could explain the demise of the Hittite kingdom during the precise time GOD was heading up the Israeli army purging the land ahead of Joshua. Then the brief mention of Uriah the hittite during the reign of David as king of Israel
Israelite, not israeli. Big difference.@@benandreadurham1870
There is no evidence the exodus ever happend .
When the jews left Egypt and migrated to Israel.. Israel was still part of the Egypt empire ......
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 regards from Bucarest ROMANIA 💐🤗🌹👍 Jeremy Irons!? What a treat! ... Conclusion: Sic Transit Gloria Mundi....
Rameses II's intro went hard
The peace treaty between Ramses and Hatushaily is just plain beautiful.
I think there’s a lot of lessons for contemporary leaders in that treaty
Thank you. Watching from Alaska.
Sorry to see the comments descending into divisiveness.
Can you see Russia?
Unfortunately, people are egoistic and do not like to share. We are all humans, but we are treated like aliens.
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.
Great work telling the story of a great civilization. 👍
As for the religion, their attitude resembles so much the one of the ancient Romans. It is really amazing.
Fascinating. Such wonderful scholarship. And Hrozny, the Czech who deciphered the writing in 1915: what an accomplishment, equal to the other great discovery of 1915, Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Yes, exactly. What a tank and hero to mankind.
I’m glad you wrote his name, I just did lol.
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.
schitterende en zeer gedegen documentaire en zeer interessant en leerzaam en tenzeerste ervan genoten,en dank ervoor dat ik dit kon bekijken.het was zeer de moeite waardt!
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.
watching, and listening, to this for the 50th time - Excellent content
Canaan and the Hittites are featured in the Old Testament, which is solid history. They didn’t influence the Bible, it was just accurate history in the Bible.
Hittites are Africans,these are liers
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.
Thanks to all involved in making this and getting it up on YT
Edit: This film really made me want to visit Boğazköy in winter. Late August was primetime but those winter scenes made me yearn to visit Turkey again...so much. Turkiye seviyorum şimde. ÇOK GUZEL. Teşekurederim
I hope they have something new to bring to the table because this has been done to death. It's brilliant history. Not talked about like Egypt is but it has left a great legacy. ✌️☘️
This documentary was made over 20 years ago
@chriscuomo9334 Fr.
Hasn't been " done to death"
There is hardly anything on the Hittites wtf
The Hittites, Gitti when pronounced correctly, were a Thracian tribe, from the sons of Righteous Japheth, son of Noah. They actually spoke the Thracian language, from which modern Bulgarian derives. Jesus came from both the bloodline of Shem and Japheth as Bathsheba was Gitti who married King David from which Solomon was born. Very easily verified.
@chaim
The Christ Jesus was born of Miriam...who indeed had that human lineage. However, His father was Almighty God - not of human bloodline. The DNA of Christ Jesus only shows a maternal history. As God and Son of God, Jesus has no traceable paternal DNA. Fact.
This is not a fact. We dont have Jesus DNA! @rmp7400
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 👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🪶🌽
Amazing documentary really enjoyed the pacing and the detailing of it.
Uriah .. one of the greatest of King David's warriors .. husband of Sahara .. betrayed by both his wile and king .. Uriah was Hittite ..
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
Muhteşem! Burak Sergen'i görene kadar yabancı yapım zannetmiştim. Metindeki akıcılık Jeremy Irons'in muhteşem sesiyle birleşip büyüleyici bir etki kazanmış. Casting zaten harika. Keske hep boyle işler izlesek. Hititlerle ilgili bircok belgesel izledim, okudum ama gercekten 2 saat boyunca ilgimin dagilmadigi tek kaynak bu oldu. Teşekkürler 😊
About the same time as Battle of Kadesh there was another battle fought by 3000-5000 combatants in a very unlikely place - north of today's Berlin. We don't know who they were. We just know where it was. Battle of Tollensee
ruclips.net/video/xZ3qA-cqq5s/видео.htmlsi=k3GMWNE9MmGY7ILH
Ancestors of Germans and Russians, that's who.
I knew of the Hittites, but never knew their importance and laws . Fascinating
Eqyptian zebra shields are luxurious
The Merneptah Stele, also known as the Israel Stele or the Victory Stele of Merneptah, is an inscription by Merneptah, a pharaoh in ancient Egypt who reigned from 1213 to 1203 BCE. Discovered by Flinders Petrie at Thebes in 1896, it is now housed at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Wikipedia
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]
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
When I was in Turkiye I came across people who pronounced Hittites as High-tight-teas rather than Hit-tights.
I've often wondered if that alternative is more historically correct.
It would be now..
Are you sure you we're in Turkey. We definity do not pronunce it like that.
It is debatable how logical it is to read an ancient name with an English accent.
@@pyrusheliosmk2204 Well they did in Çıralı, Tahtalı Dağı, Antalya, where I heard it.
Every country pronounces many proper names differently. In Turkey we pronounce it as "Hit-it-ler" I don't know why the people you met pronounced it the way you mentioned, maybe they learnt it wrong 😅 . @@rjlchristie
That voice is one of a kind.
Ahmenhotep the second was the Pharaoh of the exodus, not Rameses the second. Just saying🕳
Debatable - there are 3 or 4 known candidates.
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.
Thanks, finally something good to watch today.
Very interesting,authentic,well made History of thé Hittites .thanks you .
Hittite chariots were massive. The driver of an Egyptian chariot would avoid a collision at all costs!
Great documentary, unfortunately for me ruined by too much music. Found it very distracting.
Excellent documentary, sensitively narrated by Jeremy Irons.
Excelente. O melhor documentário sobre os hititas que assisti. 🇧🇷
First written peace treaty in history
In history that we have evidence of. The civilisations before the catastrophic end of the last ice age were intergalactic/non-local
A brilliant documentary. Thank you. I look forward to many more of your documentaries.
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
Hittite and Hitties mentions more than a few times in the bible in several different books of it as listed in Strong's and other concordances which listed more times than I want to repeat.
A well-done documentary. Thank you.
Well done isnt
Bat good Emisins ( emisija ) yes
Perfect narrator a joy to listen to him
The music was great too. The string arrangements in particular really added to the emotional impact of the scenes.
In my opinion, the Battle of Kadesh should not be described from the exclusive point of view of the Hittites or the Egyptians. We already know that the two kings described this battle differently.
I watched this doc on the Smithsonian channel at least 5 times. It’s a total fave 👏👏👏👏👏
Right, great documentary on the Hittites.Good book on them "The Hittites" published by Thames& Hudson.
s
I love how much extremely accurate history is recorded in the Bible, only to be dismissed by academia because the Bible is a “religious” book, only then to be re-affirmed by Archeology amazingly accurate in time and place.
The Bible is a great book of history, and the greatest book of ancient history to be recorded. Amen 🙏.
Ok, it's a book that records some historical events. Doesn't mean it isn't full of myths, legends, and make-believe, too.
The bible is fictional nonsense
Well-done interesting history documentary, thanks sharing, pure pleasure to watch it.
I'm not sure that the Hittites actually conquered the Kaska peoples. They lived in the mountains north of the Hittite controlled cities and it seems that they continued to raid the Hittite settlements. But this is a great video on the little known Hittite empire. They called themselves Neshi. The word "Hittite" is a western construct.
A western construct?
Good.
After all, Hittites were indoeuropeans.
Except that the first to call them Hittites were actually the Jews. Who are NOT Westerners now as they were NOT at the time.
So you have only demonstrated your ignorance or your ridiculous preconception. Are you ignorant or woke? Or both?🤣
As far as the Kaska are concerned, a territory can be conquered and remain unruly, for years, decades, even centuries. So your doubts are completely nonsense, historically speaking.
Typical Kaska propaganda
Didn't Cleopatra ask the Hittites for assistance?... meaning thst was about a thousand years later?...so they must have been strong at least till then and after?...
This is a great documentary.
What a truly amazing documentary. Thank you so very much!!
