Good video on Hittites and Judges of Isreal.

I just finished watching the Rays, the descendants of the Popupites.

Ok, I’ll be serious. This shouldn’t be a surprise, given the Mycenean-Hittite interaction that has left evidence found throughout most of my long and unillustrious life. What would be surprising would be the discovery of a third major civilization in the NE Mediterranean that would gum up the historical record.

I'm not sure that's a figurine.

Whatever it is, might be related to an early Ozark civilization...

Raids back and forth between rival civilizations would inevitably result in looted objects being found throughout the region.

thx.

It’s a headless statuette of Helen Thomas.

Not too sure, she was probably too old to pose for this.

Well, history tells us that at one time the whole of modern Turkey was ruled by the Hittites, and their influence was felt all over that area for about 500 years before their ultimate collapse.

They even made as far as Babylon when they sacked it. Now, that little excursion lasted a short time, but they were quite the power at one time.

Also, some scholars believe that Troy was one of the cities that would come under constant attacks from the Hittites in their long ongoing battles for dominance in the region. Some expect to one day find archeological evidence of weapons and the like from the Hittite campaigns.

Interesting, for a vast kingdom that everyone claimed was made up story in the Bible up to the late 19th century, they sure have realized how powerful of an empire it was. They kept Egypt at bay by fighting a stalemate with Pharaoh Ramsey II.

I never hear the critics ever admit they were wrong when archeological evidence proves the accounts in the Bible are right. Amazing ain’t it? They just keep claiming the Bible is unreliable for history

Nope.

for a vast kingdom that everyone claimed was made up story in the Bible up to the late 19th century, they sure have realized how powerful of an empire it was.

The name "Hittites" was borrowed from the Bible, so what you're saying there doesn't make any sense.

ROFL. You win!
