The Complete History of the Hittites

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.

*This video is really based off of the four-part series on the Hittites that I posted a few months ago. I've consolidated, added a few things and basically made it better than the original.
