The Complete History of the Hittites
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 июн 2019
- The Hittites were a people whose kings at one time ruled unchallenged in Anatolia and large swaths of the ancient Near East. They were so powerful that they destroyed sacked the great ancient states of Yamhad and Babylon and destroyed the once-mighty Kingdom of the Mitanni. However, they're fortunes rose and fell like the tides with their successes often being fleeting due to internal infighting and spreading their forces too thin. If you've ever wanted to get a sense of who the Hittites were as well as learn about their fascinating history, this program is for you.

If the cable channel that still calls itself "The History Channel" did these types of documentaries, I probably would have kept cable T.V. But since history has been dropped from their programming, I cut cable and watch You Tube channels like this.
Thanks, I'm honored! I actually also haven't seen the History Channel in years with the exception of a couple episodes of Vikings. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it...stay safe!
Ditto to that! Epic job; much better than any major production I've seen in a long time.
I agree. Maybe they realised they could no longer be a platform to lies they would have that could now be disputed. Look into who owns and runs these channels. Or funds and contributes. Thank God for the internet I say for us in these end days.
Funny the history channel was one of the last things that keep my cable connected a decade ago. Way better content on RUclips, probably would be even better if not for the censorship.
History channel is imperial America history. It is amazing that with all the money they had that they were so graphics challenged
This is one of the best history channels on YT. Hands down. Cy don't fuck around. Love and logic equally. Respect.
Great stuff! I've been wanting to know more about the Hittites (and Ancient World) and your channel is fitting the bill!
Just... WOW! Your entire channel is amazing! Great great stuff! Neglected parts of Ancient history all explained. This is fabulous. Thank you!
Thank you, I appreciate the support! More to come soon!
I know right?! Talkin about my generation, sheesh🙏😍💋🌎
It was refreshing to see images and mapping that actually supported and fleshed out the narrative - most videos of this genre are carelessly mismatched in this respect. Your bibliography is also a plus not often found on historical YT channels.

I have always been attracted to the Hittites, and have consumed any and all information on these fascinating people. Thank you for the video.
The Hittites are one of the most interesting civilizations in history. Thank you for this great video Cy!
No, thank YOU for stopping by and taking interest is this stuff, motivates me to put out more of it. More to come, stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy !
Yeah btw: they were black ppl
@@acmcwa7416 wtf! Bro where did that come from 😂 but they were not completely black they were Diverse people like Indias bcoz they spoke Indo European language and Bible says they were descended from ham
@@acmcwa7416 They were Caucasians
I discovered this channel a few days ago and been binge watching your Near East videos. They are long but entertaining enough that you dont even notice time passing. Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much, comments like this make my day. There's definitely more to come on the near east... especially next week. Thanks for stopping by, stay safe!
Long is good🙂
I love the fact you take the time to learn how to pronounce the names etc ...of the ancient people's and lands.
Haha thanks! Šuppiluliuma took some work but I think I got it (most of the time). My favorites though are the names of the various Mitanni kings - Tushratta, Shaushtatar, Artatama, Shattiwaza - they just sound really cool.
All the names you took, sound very much like the names of old Hindu kings.
@@HistorywithCy How does one know you got them correct, Has anyone heard anyone speaking their language?
@@corydorastube It's a very early indo european language,and cuneiforme was used for the writing,thus we have been able to decipher it.
I'm interested in the Hittites,the people of Japhet.
I love your channel. Thank you!
Rock on ✌🏼
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
Your work is much appreciated! Very high quality videos!
Great video man ! Nice insightful overview and i like that you show lots of clear maps.
Great job! Your audio is so much better then many other presentations.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! More to come soon!
What an excellent, comprehensive review of Hittite history! I have heard much of it before, but never in its entirety. Well summarised!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I really appreciate it and glad you liked the video. Soon I'll do a few, shorter vids on Hittite history soon that will go into more detail of some of the events described in this one. Thanks again!
@@HistorywithCy subscribed, my man. Looking forward to it!
untill recent times historians did not know if Hittites ever existed , only after they found they cities they started talking about Hittites that made a big contribution for today's European people specially the Iberian people
The graphics help
So much wasn't introduced to us in school. Your videos are so informative and the script and visuals are fantastic! I love your videos! Thank you for all the effort you've gone to and you've done it with professionalism and craft! 👏💓
Thanks so much for the kind words and glad you learned from it. More to come soon!
@@HistorywithCy Looking forward to it! 👇👏😊
Well done, thanks again for these videos, history is amazing.🙂❤
Thanks, glad you like it. More to come, stay tuned and safe!
Thanks for this excellent presentation. The maps and other visuals (including spelling out the confusing names of cities and rulers) are super helpful and kept me from getting lost. I also appreciated the artwork that you interspersed with the maps.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed this! It was one of my earlier ones so hopefully the maps and production is getting better in the more recent videos. Lots more on the way and thanks for watching!
I have been reading so many books on this era & area for my intended novel, but was simply overwhelmed with all the names, dates, battles, nations, & "facts". Thanks a zillion for this short vid! Great pronunciations and even better thank you for the clarity, especially about the later period of the empire. (I think the Peoples of the Sea must have allied with the Kashka, remnants of the Arzawa, and maybe be refugees from Wilusa to finally burn Hattusa.
Did you end up writing the novel?
You can read quite a few books by Henry Archibald Sayce and others for free on kindle.
There is a guy out of Wales, I think he’s dead now, by the name of Bill Cooper. He wrote a 60+page long book on the biblical book of Esther, taking archaeology in history, like that of Herodotus and cross referencing everything.
He has many books just like it that go into the 500 page range. If you read this one, you will be addicted to this author because he tells you where all his sources are from as he writes he gives you the primary sources not just in the bibliography.
this is an amazing and informative documentary. thank you so much for uploading this
Thanks so much, more to come soon!
Fascinating 🖖🏼 Loving your work mate👌🏻
Thanks, glad you liked this! More to come, stay safe!
Noooooooo.
I can't believe the video ended. Whaaaa! 💧
Wow! What a lot of history you covered! I can't imagine being a king, knowing your enemies were coming. Horses weren't that fast, so the kings would have to wait until they arrived.... frightening!
I find it fascinating that kings were just people with success at their backs or failure facing them. If you liken then to now, things really haven't changed that much.
Thanks ever so much Cy! I loved the graphics, music and listening you pronounce some of these names! Lol!
Take care, stay well and we'll be anxiously awaiting your return! 🌌
Thanks, glad you were able to make it through this relatively long video, one my firsts so hopefully they've improved since then. I definitely want to revisit and go into more detail with regard to certain aspects of Hittite history, there are so many interesting details that I left out in this one due to time! If you like learning about kings, there's a lot of that coming up - Babylonian, Persian, Egyptian and soon getting into some early European kings as well.
As always, thanks so much for stopping by and great hearing your thoughts on these and the other videos...your feedback really helps me to create better stuff for y'all. Talk soon, stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy 😍 Can't wait!!
This is fantastic! Thank you for this!

This is excellent, I'm going to watch more of your stuff.
You put a lot of work and effort into that. I really appreciate it
Holy shit you deserve way more subs than this. I’m so happy I found your channel, your content is top tier and your way of conveying information is awesome and educational.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it and am glad you found the video useful. I'll be doing more on the Hittites so stayed tuned...thanks again!
History with Cy I subbed immediately when I saw this video. I looked up Assyrian history yesterday on RUclips and your channel was the first video. Your videos are better than professionally made documentaries. I’m a big fan of ancient history and have been playing a lot of age of empires 1 definitive edition lately and it’s fun to learn more about these ancient civilisations. I would love to see some videos on the Luwians, Phoenicians, Mycenaeans, Dorians, Carthaginians or videos on the ancient Greek tribes pre-city states. I know this is a long comment, but I hope you read it and perhaps like one of my ideas? Keep up the good work man, I’ll be so happy to see you hit 100k sometime this year 😁
@@SwadianKnight101 I really liked your comment.
Cy is consistent and really makes history interesting! I'm glad you found the channel!
Very good video. Thank you!
As much as stories of kings are fascinating, do you have information about the people? Life quality, economy, social classes, power struggles etc.?
Thanks so much for your kind feedback, I appreciate it. Yes, I do have a lot of material on the daily lives and culture of the Hittite people but am thinking of how to best present it. I might just do a supplemental vid in a vid podcast style or more audio format since I don't have too many non-copyright visuals, only textual sources. I'll see what I can do...thanks of your interest!
Going back through your older videos that I first saw when I encountered your channel.
I suspect this is one of the first I saw, some years ago.
Glad to see how the channel has grown. Well deserved
Thanks! Yes, it's been a great journey... haha I often cringe when I sometimes watch these older videos, especially with the poor audio quality in many of them. I hope to one day do a remake of some of them to improve the quality, though the information hasn't changed. Thanks for watching these since the beginning and continuing to come back, really appreciate it! Hopefully more and better videos in the years to come!
Great video! Your Narration is so easy to hear and understand.
Thanks, I"m glad you found it useful...more Hittite stuff to come... thanks again and stay safe!
I have been lucky to learn about most ancient empires from the age of empires series, grew up with it and that only opened my curiosity for history early but yes, rarely are they mentioned in schools despite their vastness and complexity
Same here. When I was taught basic (6th grade) World History in late 90s, I immediately made connections to the Age of Empires 1 game. Most enjoyable history class I had until Western Civilization in College.
The definitive edition remake is fantastic in the history sections of its briefings: very general and simplified, but much more accurate.
One of the most complete exposition of history content and well made. Thank you. I subscribe 😬👍. Make one of Babylonia please. 😏
Thank you! Full Babylonia is coming in a few weeks, stay tuned!
I haven't even heard the entire thing, just one-fourth through and I can tell you are right in your assessment for this READER.
I knew this video was bound to break a mil! Congrats Cy!
Great video. It’s clear that you take time to thoroughly research your topic. The video itself makes it easy to follow the different changes during history. Thanks for your efforts
Thanks so much, i'm really glad that it was useful. It's older one so hopefully you'll like the more recent ones. Thanks again and stay safe!
I really love your channel. I've been a history buff for a long time, and you do such a good job of covering it detail. There are a few other history channels which do a good job, but not many, so you are in a rare club. Thanks, and please, keep up the wonderful work. You have a loyal subscriber here.
Thank you
They’re a lot closer to modern times than they are to the people of gobekli tepe. Let that sink in.
First actually thoughtful comment here.
Hear hear!!!
Really interesting video, thanks very much for making
Thank you, glad you liked it! Stay safe!
Awesome presentation! Kept my attention the whole time.
Thank you for the effort and education. I learned so much about these peoples of ancient past.much respect for the pronunciations especially repeating them several times. Interesting you bring up the mysterious Sea Peoples of around 1200 B.C.E. That in itself is a whole other video. I had a great time here learning and using my imagination, thanks.
Yes, good point about the "mysterious" sea peoples. I've read much about this period but this vid seemed to clarify a great deal of confusion.

the armenians were the sea people, that's why their language is all over the world...
Very impressed by your programs. Well informed, nice pictures and perfectly narrated. Really well done!
Thanks so much for stopping by and the kind words, I really appreciate them! I'll be doing more in the same format with hopefully better sound...stay tuned and stay safe!
@@HistorywithCy I will look forward to it!
Damn excellent........seriously great work.......just found your channel......always been a history nut......my main in depth studies though have been ACW and Napoleonic era......but for the last few years have become engrossed with this time period/area......thanks for this great work and equally for your inclusion of source material.......think I better buy some more shelving......with all these videos here and there being sources included......my library's about to explode......thanks again.......really really enjoyed it.SM.
Thank you, glad that there are other ancient history enthusiasts like yourself out there! I've actually been watching some documentaries on the French Revolution and its aftermath lately myself... 1800s European history is fascinating!
Thanks again for stopping by, I really appreciate it! More to come soon!
Great presentation and content. I also recommend "In Search of The Trojan War", "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great", "The Hittites" narrated by Jeremy Irons. I really learned a lot more from your video. in addition to a lot of videos I've read several books on them. You really got into a lot of extra information that you don't always hear about the Hittites. I liked it and I subscribed. Also it is really important for me to like my narrator. I love your voice. In the tradition of Peter Coyote, Liev Schriber, Mark Halliley, Michael Wood. Glad I found yo!!!

@@hikeoganessian9729 Krishna was a Nubian.
Wait the trojan war was real i thought it was myth with Achilles n stuff
I first learned about the Hittites when reading and studying scripture. I was hooked regarding all ancient history .
The hittites were mentioned in the Bible. So I found this very interesting. Your videos increase my knowledge of the world and where things started. Thank you Much
Yes. Esau married with 2 Hitities women.
They would have been living in the timing of the neo-Hittites, and there was a diaspora to the south of their old broken-up city-states.
They must have proudly carried on their traditional Hittite identity and culture for scores of generations.
Neo-Hittites were the ones talked about in the Bible
Haitians
@@kaarlimakela3413 In the Bible they talk about people in the context of the time the books are written. Moses wrote the Torah and spoke of Hittites because the forefather had already lived and bore a nation-to-be 😉
I read a book when i was 14yrs old about the Hittite history & my favourite person was
Suppiluliumas ( the last 'S' at the end of his name was what was written in my book so always called him the above spelling)
His name i practised saying for years because i loved the sound that it made just tripping off ones tongue..its a wonderful name.
Ive enjoyed this video
The Hittites are my favourite nation & now in my 60s i still love hearing & reading about these oddly obscure peoples in history
Thank you 🇬🇧👧
the history of mankind is truly amazing

I wouldn't call it amazing, as it is being based in war, blood, and incest. The monuments that left behind yes. The history of humanity is outrageously perverted.
You make history quite interesting. Thanks
Thanks so much, I'm glad you found it interesting!
Great video, watched all of it, need to watch again
Awesome information and presentation!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words...more Hittite history to come soon!
This is a great video. I have a little interest in ancient kingdoms' history yet I finished this 46-minute video without a yawn.
It's quite surprising that the existence of once a big empire, Hittite, was very much unknown until the 19th century.
It's a little more complex than that. For the most part, its existence wasn't questioned. Western scholars even got it right when they attributed sculptures of a certain style to the Hittites. What they got wrong was the geographic center of the Hittites - which they thought was in Syria because that's where most of their evidence came from, and the extent of its power. It was the discovery of Hattusa and its thousands of cuneiform tablets that revolutionized our understanding of the true nature of the empire. Something that did fall completely out of our knowledge was the Hittite and its related languages. That has been the effort of over a century now of scholarship.

Luv ya work Cy
In high school, junior year (11th grade) we studied the Hittites. It was a very brief course, like only a week long. I'm from the North Eastern USA.
I learned as much from this as I did from the high school course
The Hittites are the ancestors of the Kurds, and the Mitanites are the Kurds. Their capital was called Washokani, where Amenhotep married the daughter of the Prince of Mitanni, and her name was Nefertiti.
Just to think, the Hittites were considered as a Biblical myth some years back
How long ago?
They were what!?
I'm not familiar with Biblical myth or the Bible in general. Were they specifically mentioned in the Bible?
@@Xaiff yes
Hittites were only confirmed as found in the early 1900s.
But evidence was found mid, to late 1800s.
@@Xaiff just to note king David and pontius pilate were both proven to be actual people and not legend in my lifetime.
this was excellent ❤ thank you, I enjoyed it
Well done. Very informative.
Thanks so much for the kind words, I really appreciate them. Stay safe!
I love this piece of history. It gives a broader perspective to the Bible texts on the Hittites and Babylonians
Broader and also deeper and much more accurate!
So I finally finished this video! It seemed every time I snuggled up to watch, some interruption would present itself... This video was super cool Cy! • The picture at 2:30 looked like the picture was taken yesterday! • I really liked the. reliefs too • I also was thinking about how all the news was passed. Having to walk, ride all those miles every time something needed to be reported. • You did great on the artists' renditions too. • Thanks for also putting in names of places with their current name. I had a lot of fun on this 'trip' to the middle east... Thank you! 👏💞👇🌟
Glad you liked it! This was the longest one I've put together. I think in future I'll be doing mostly shorter ones but in a series, like the recent Sumerian or Akkadian Empire ones... viewers seem to like shorter vids that are easier to digest. I suppose if they like those, they'll watch others in the series. I'm also going to do some more informal vids as well.
Hittites are a really fascinating people and culture and I'm planning a few more vids the subject. If you have any requests, please let me know and I'll see what I can do. Thanks again for stopping by and your kind words...they are very inspiring and motivate to make more of these! It's appreciated!

Thanks, this was one of my first videos but thrilled you enjoyed it! Lots more on the way including with the Hittites... stay tuned and thanks for watching!
Cy, every single time you nail it. You're reasonable, you evade the conspiracy nonsense; you have a great narrative to ''the truth''. It's not every day you get a down-to-earth, well-spoken, intellectually honest history channel. Oh, and of course just your effort. It doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you.
I learned about them from reading my Bible. I was curious about these people so I looked them up.
Huriah the Hittite.
@@genghiskhan6809 yes you are correct
Very informative...and precise one.....waiting for next video
Very good. Very informative. Thank you.
Thank you for stopping by, really appreciate it and glad that you liked this video. It's an older one, and I'm planning to put out some more detailed Hittite content hopefully by summer. Thanks again and stay safe!
Great. It's hard to come by this knowledge.

@@HistorywithCy I will. Many thanks!
I am from North Europe and the first time I heard (or at least took a mental note) about the Hittites was a few years ago, reading a manga "Song of sand and sea - pharaoh's concubine".
There they mentioned the Hittites being at war with Egypt, so they brought in a princess from Hittites.
Now I am watching a documentary to find out more. We indeed do not learn about this in school.
Great manga
My hat is off to you sir. To suffer through the one king's name, so many.. with a straight face.
You are a true professional.
Great documentary!
Amazing sir, absolutely top notch!!
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words!
Video e' bellissimo, molto interessante! Complimenti!
Grazie!
Brava 👸😘💂
Great content. Very happy to have subscribed.
I'm a bit surprised there is no mention of the _Milawata letter,_ the one from the Hittite diplomatic archive discussing the Trojan War, even in passing, which ties in with the Sea Peoples phenomenon and the _Bronze Age Collapse_ as a whole.
Hi, thanks so much for stopping by. Yeah, this was just an overall summary, but I do talk about the Milawata litter and it's history in this video:

Thx for thevid!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Love love love history and just found this vid man! Makes me think of history obviously and Deadsy’s “The Key to Gramercy Park” haha keep making great vids
Excellent work! Thank you for narrating this Bronze Age history
Thank you, I really appreciate it! More to come soon!
The Hittites were a very interesting civilization; for one, they were the first Indoeuropean peoples to have a writing system (something we only learned in the early 20th century) - in the Middle East, no less, alongside very different peoples from them

@@hikeoganessian9729 I'll respect your opinion on the matter of Hittites being the precursors to the civilizational arts of writing and religion IF and ONLY IF you can provide some source material for me to read through. What you pose is fascinating, but smells of some kind of propoganda. Again, though, if you can provide genuine sources I would be thrilled to read them.
Unless there were a precursor civilization before the Hittites who's astrology descended through the ages into the hands of the Hittites amongst many others and through which the arts of civilization were honed.
I’m sorry but pretty much everything you said here is wrong. Yes they were the first Indo-Europeans we know of that wrote. But,
modern day Turkey is NOT the Middle-East. They did learn their writing from Middle-Easterners.
On top, Germanic civilization have been writing since at least 2000 years, first runes, then Roman letters.
You realize the early 20th century is the 1900s right, WW1 and such.
It was around 1915 that Czech linguist Bedrich Hrozny realized that Hittite was an Indoeuropean language (a fascinating story) that was what I meant - whether Turkey is in Europe or the Middle East is of course a matter of debate - I think culturally and religious it is more the latter than the former

In Greek the word for ‘defeat’ is Hitta (ήττα). After the Hittites .... to be defeated is to become a hittite
Wow

Except η in ancient greek was pronounced as a long /ε/ and double t comes from double s. The word comes from ησσων.
@@hikeoganessian9729 we already know what the hittite language looks like and it's nothing like armenian apart from being indo-european.
The timing of the ruin of the Hittite government is key, being 1000 BCE. That was the reign if David in Israel. It makes sense that the warrior Uriah (Uriyah) the Hittite who was the armor-bearer to Goliath (Goliat) was unhappy in a deposed nation and sought glory with a nearby nation.
Very good documentary son You got talents . Please keep up the good work!
this subject is of grand interest, enjoyed the episode
Damn, that was good. I admit that when it started with "I am stoked to bring you this account of the Hittites" I didn't have high hopes, but it was informative, well-paced and I leave knowing much more about the Hittites. Thanks, Cy, and well done.
"These new metals allowed people to become more productive, or in the alternative, kill each other better." LoLL
To quote Crow T. Robot: "Weapons are the only thing mankind is really good at."
Its easier to plow fields and chop down trees with metal axes and plows as opposed to stone and wood so yes in that way people were more productive
great work!
Thank you!
Thank you for this excellent video! In my other ancient history learning, I think I've heard references to or vague summaries of the Hittites, but I think this is the first in depth look I've had at them. Thank you again!
God be with you out there everybody. ✝️ :)
*_Hittie Jumpscare_*
The story of how Hittite was translated and found to be related to the modern European languages deserves a few minutes in a lecture such as this. Also the collapse of the Hittite kingdom coincides with the presumed end of Trojan war. (1177 B.C.) The kingdoms to the west were most likely the Lydians, who were driven into famine due to the Trojan war and split their people in half, the crown prince (Tyrrus) taking half the people to northern Italy, becoming the Etruscans, or modern Tuscany. Such details would go a long ways toward building interest in the populations of your reader/listeners. There is good evidence the Hittites were part of the ancestral populations that peopled Europe.
That is most likely a myth, at least the part about Tyrrhus taking his people to Etruria/Tuscany. Though, the story of how the language was translated and is the first known Indo-European language is very interesting andit would have been nice if the video had touched on it.
Thank you for your comments, may also add, Trojans and Hittites were not rivals as Hittites worked with than as trading partners, it would be ideal to call a migration since Those trading Anatolian cavillations, were already in contact and trading with other Mediterranean countries mostly in North Africa such an most advanced Carthaginian nation. Athenians, uniting other parts of tribes from Sparta to Macedonia and northern Balkan people, raiding pillaging and looting for many decades, has forced these western Anatolian people to look else where. Some of the information we can read is Virgil. They have travelled to Italy and established first foundation of Rome.
Most famous speech of all the captain of the Bridge Horace's,
" When Rome's army went to expedition, across the Tiberius river on the Hills appeared Etruscans and Latin armies. people cried and screamed in fear as he gave the speech of how a man can die better. From time of this event to earliest recorded history about 600/800 years. However there are ancient Hittite text about Trojan time period and wars, do mention "Troy has come under constant attack by waring tribes across the Aegean sea and islands. There are no mention of famous battle like in the movie of Troy, neither Brad Pitt. some chronical says, Horace's actually fall from the bridge and drowned due to his heavy armour, who knows, juicy story appeals to masses.
As is usual history has written by victors , we can all agree last 200 years its written mostly from Cambridge and Oxfordian's who never left England.
I have travelled extensively, most cavillations in Anatolia has collapsed due to Pandemics, earth quakes and other natural disasters. When you discover coins other other valuable artefacts laying in ground, its all evidence of natural cycle we live in today.
Historians suggested it was the decade long drought has caused the massive depopulation of Anatolia and collapse of the Empire, however, recent findings going back in ancient texts, there have been a pandemic in the years before Hittite and other Anatolian civilisations. from the texts Hittite king 1198-1196 BCE. Shortly after this time, however, the Hittite Empire collapsed, with its capital city of Hattusa abandoned and no further mention of its last king, Suppiluliuma II. begging the Gods to spare his life.1198-1196 BCE. Shortly after this time the Hittite Empire collapsed, with its capital city of Hattusas (largest and oldest in the world)abandoned and no further mention of its last king, Suppiluliuma II.
One also can say, between Troy and Agamemnon story of Helen is appealing but there is no evidence it has ever happened.
Cheers.
There are 5 distinct groups of sea people working with each other and Syrian and leave times and anatolians who simaltaniuly are moving provisions by land. It does seem that they are motivated by want to food for the organization to work. Moreover, one of the groups is resettled in Egypt, and as mentioned in another text is still living there 100 years after which means it, Egyptians gave them a way to grow their own food which implies, the climate change collapse may actually be true. I’m not saying it’s true. It just has more evidence for it than modern climate change fanaticism does.
Wilusa(Troy) was at war with the Greeks not all of Phriga. The collapse of Troy is a big deal for the Greeks, and as they settle the Tiber Valley later for Italy, but likely not enough to cause the kind of movement that we see with the sea peoples. The shackle ash are fairly well connected to the island of Sicily, which was a hotbed of piracy at the time either the guys with the horns helmets.
There seems to be a language connection. Only, the people certainly don’t look European they are not. They look like mixed race people that look Chinese and African and European at the same time. They depicted how they looked come to think of it. They look a little bit like Aztecs. And bring me bread and water. The word and head out for water is water. Some German guy figured it out. And now everyone wants to connect ration language as if African-Americans were related to the Anglo-Saxons just because they speak English. Carrot was written in corner form, which they got from the Assyrians for Semites. They likely cut structural parts of their language from the Indo Europeans. They were fighting with to the north, who we know definitely became the Armenians and likely the Germans and Celts also and these three groups are genetically connected besides in fact, you have a genetic link from Ireland to uighurland in China and down into Cameroon and Africa, so the genetics of these people in Europe are spread pretty far and wide. . Also, there are other genetics sets that indicate the British Isles lynched with a barrier. The Germans linked with Italy and the Slavs crank linked with the Greeks, which indicates they move north as the ice receded from their Mediterranean purchs.
I'm pretty sure it'd be easier to interpret actual Hittite writing than whatever these two comments are about...
Thanks man knowledge is power
Well done excellent video thank you
I think that if you are familiar with Slavic languages - which I think you are - pronouncing Šuppiluliuma's name would be easier. No idea why. It's not Slavic, but somehow it's easier. Šup - pi - lU -li -U- ma.
Šup pi lUli Uma.
Anyway, love your videos! A must for anybody who is in love with ancient history. Great job!
Hi, thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate it! That's interesting, I never thought of that. Hittite is an Indo-European language, though there are some native Hattic words in it as well. I have learned some basic Russian but I admit I'm not very good at it.
Thanks so much for the feedback though, I really appreciate it and am glad that you're finding the content to be useful. More to come, stay safe!

Thanks so much, glad the video helped!

You're welcome, thank you for stopping by, really appreciate it!
Tks! A good narration about the history of that time,👏
Thank you, glad this was helpful and thanks for watching!
You did a good job on this documentary and I like the Hittite Suppiluliuma I, because of everything he did and all the lands he conquered.
Me too
Some 30 years ago BBC broadcast a series by Michael Wood titled In Search of the Trojan War. It was awesome. Episode 5 discussed how the Hittite Empire was indirectly involved in that war and discusses how the kingdom was run and managed. It is simply fantastic
Oh I think I've seen that documentary... was years ago and one of the many I'd seen on the history of Troy but year, I remember it being super interesting and insightful.
Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate it!
I remember watching it on PTV in pakistan , Mr Wood was a handsome chap
Great series. Everything Michael Wood does is good . Also Bettany Hughes.

Hello Cy, once a year I visit an old Hitite city (open air museum now) "Asitivada" from Late-Hitite period next time I am on the road to there I will listen to your video again. This channel is a fresh breath of air. Thank you and take care.
Have you visited the museum yet this year !
I Will do it around october :)
@@sinanfikreterk3359 very excited for you !!!!
It's interesting that this presentation failed to mention that the first time in history that the name Hittite was mentioned was in the Bible. Higher criticism claimed that the Bible was historically untrustworthy since no other source of history mentioned the Hittites. The first book of the Bible, Genesis, mentions the Hittites a number of times. The truth is that nothing the Bible has ever claimed to be historically correct has ever been shown to be false.

I mean the bible literally takes from ancient contemporary writings of other cultures that are often lost to us now.
Like many old writings, it is based on an ancient reality, but often mythified.
@@hikeoganessian9729 wtf are you talking about? Quoting Merrickis one of the dumbest shit I have yet to read today. The moron has no freakin clue wtf he's talkin about. I can already tell that this nut case is pushing a debunked ideology the concept of "Aryan" invented in the 19th century. Hittities come from the lineage of Ham who was father to Canaan. From this son comes Hittites and the Amorites that were mentioned in this video. Scholars know that Hamites are not only of dark complexion but no relation to Armenians. I'm not gonna even entertain the stupidity of any fake ass link between the two outside of sharing a common tongue which would no doubt be out of the norm seeing that Cannanites despite being Hamitic spoke Shemitic language like the Israelites who are of the lineage of Shem.

Lol take your meds, schizo. Race obsessed weirdo
It is very untrusthy talking about time before the time the Israel/Judah kingdom existed. For example, speaking about the hittites. For them, they were just another caananite kingdom, even they, somewhat, understood they had some kind of prosperous. The Bible never mentions how powerful the hittite empire was, and that is because the collective memories of the Judah/Israel kingdom was not that old to remember that. The world of these kingdom was the beggining of the Iron age.
Another clear example of their lack of knowledge is that they believed that Nimrod was the first city of the Assyrian (hence the descendant of Cain was this mighty hunter), but the first capital of Assyria was Assur. But they had no way to know that, possibly, in their collective memory, that was the oldest capital of Assyria they knew (which was the second capital of Assyria).
It is a good way to understand the Iron age, but very bad to understand times before that.
