Hittites: Anatolian Warriors

An Unknown World Empire: Hittites…

How did the Hittites become the greatest military power of the Ancient Near East in the Late Bronze Age? What were their weaknesses against their enemies? What kind of precautions did they take against the fact that the rivers of Anatolia, which was their homeland and had no connection with the sea, did not allow navigation? How did they fight against the small population and the epidemic diseases that sometimes ravaged their country? What forces lay behind the rise and brilliant achievements of this ancient empire?

Trevor Bryce, who wrote about the Hittites, whose history has been erased from the records for more than three thousand years and is considered one of the most mysterious civilizations of the ancient world, in a vivid and unusual style, reveals both the Hittite warriors and the social, religious and political culture of the Hittites. Proposing new solutions to many questions, Bryce, on the one hand, removes the mystery of how the Hittites, who almost managed to defeat Ramses II in the Battle of Kadesh (1274 BC), used chariots expertly, and on the other hand, describes in a fabulous language their devotion to the worship of their pantheon. It presents the reader in detail how they ingeniously managed a new diplomatic system that enabled them to consolidate their authority for centuries.

You will be a guest of the festivals in the world of the Hittites, the temples and palaces they built, with your work, which draws attention to many extraordinary issues that need to be emphasized, apart from the military mastery of the Hittites; You will learn about their traditions, superstitions and crimes, discover their social hierarchies from king to slave, and learn about many interesting topics such as ancient marriages.
