How did they achieve their supremacy? How successful were they in maintaining it? What brought about their collapse and disappearance? This comprehensive history of the Hittite kingdom seeks to answer these questions. It takes account of important recent advances in Hittite scholarship, including some major archaeological discoveries made in the last few years. It also features numerous translations from the original texts, so that on many issues the ancient Hittites are given the opportunity to speak to the modern reader for themselves. The revised edition contains a substantial amount of new material, as well as numerous other revisions to the first edition."/><meta property="og:title" content="The Kingdom of the Hittites"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71y-tDswBayhudyrW429N6-YsgAKaEZhAHJ0D0DsdwNFO3EJBOY5wK6NsjZ_bO7c7aFi4NmHJxygXLIyzZrwFkKWrj46hxLvSc7_l6uyWgoEqVjFfavKSJekyjaksm3F4amuQlB"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE71y-tDswBayhudyrW429N6-YsgAKaEZhAHJ0D0DsdwNFO3EJBOY5wK6NsjZ_bO7c7aFi4NmHJxygXLIyzZrwFkKWrj46hxLvSc7_l6uyWgoEqVjFfavKSJekyjaksm3F4amuQlB"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DHMHmCwAAQBAJ%26printsec%3Dcopyright%26vq%3Dthrone%26source%3Dgbs_pub_info_r%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ&printsec=copyright&vq=throne&source=gbs_pub_info_r&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

century BC the Hittites became the supreme political and military power in the Near East. How did they achieve their supremacy? How successful were they in maintaining it? What brought about their collapse and disappearance? This comprehensive history of the Hittite kingdom seeks to answer these questions. It takes account of important recent advances in Hittite scholarship, including some major archaeological discoveries made in the last few years. It also features numerous translations from the original texts, so that on many issues the ancient Hittites are given the opportunity to speak to the modern reader for themselves. The revised edition contains a substantial amount of new material, as well as numerous other revisions to the first edition.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PA554","order":574,"title":"554"}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DHMHmCwAAQBAJ%26printsec%3Dcopyright%26vq%3Dthrone%26source%3Dgbs_pub_info_r%26hl%3Den\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PR4","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR4\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U14O3hlBTeMN3T8VlX12kyBjT68JA","flags":0,"order":4,"uf":"https://books.google.com.sg/books_feedback?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ\u0026spid=AFLRE70Yb_sH2dZp9PO5yXP5vZ0W-adFUmjO_tB-CJ9anQ7E9vTrjpR0Lk92AMU0HlN23EsSMu4J\u0026ftype=0","vq":"throne"},{"pid":"PR3","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR3\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U1jGH5XAH1MvRWzoUYUobr5XPLxmg"},{"pid":"PR7","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR7\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U2Bi74sr3HTc03xBZ7BKre3E4S9OA"},{"pid":"PR8","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=HMHmCwAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR8\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U0NsGHUf37T3LqxQYFvANv-nfjhug"}]},null,{"number_of_results":91,"search_results":[{"page_id":"PA6","page_number":"6","snippet_text":"... \u003cb\u003ethrone\u003c/b\u003e.
