Muwatalli, Ramesses’ greatest rival, king of the Hittites, led a fearsome empire that terrorized Babylon and clashed with Ramesses. For 500 years (17th–12th century BCE), the Hittites dominated Anatolia and Syria, wielding a mighty army, a unique language, and a thriving civilization, yet their legacy has faded into obscurity.
But this powerful and well-organized empire suddenly collapsed around 1200 BCE and fell into oblivion…. What happened? How did the Hittites conquer such a vast territory? How did they govern their empire? What did their writing system look like? Which gods did they worship? Who won the Battle of Kadesh? And why did their empire fade into oblivion? Since their rediscovery a century ago, archeologists worldwide have been trying to piece together the Hittites’ story. Thanks to their recent discoveries, this once-great civilization is finally stepping out of the darkness…
