Ancient Hittite Empire History Book

The Hittites, famously known as the rivals of Israel in the Old Testament and the Torah, remained a enigma for centuries until their inscribed tablets were unearthed in the early 1900's. Chronicling their history and significant events in cuneiform on over 25,000 stone tablets, the Hittites provided scholars with a wealth of information once the key to their language translation was discovered.

Some of the questions that the tablets answered included:

• Where did they originate?
• How did they expand their kingdom?
• Who were their notable contemporaries?
• What were their major achievements?
• What is their lasting impact?

Within the pages of this book, we delve into these questions while providing insight into the daily life and customs of the Hittites. We delve deeply into the Battle of Kadesh, shedding light on the roles of Ramses and King Tut in Hittite history. We explore the personal letters exchanged between Hittite kings and their neighbors, touching upon significant events such as the Trojan War. Additionally, we examine the repercussions of the Egyptian plague on the Hittite Empire.
