That’s not what happened at all. The name Hittite was taken from the Bible and turned out to be utterly unrelated to this so-called “forgotten empire”.

I see. Well, a lot of what happened in ancient times has been lost to history.

They used small print way back then like they do now in print magazines. Looks to be size 6, maybe even 4....

The Hurrians are thought to have entered into the Near East in a series of waves in the Early or Middle Bronze Age, however their place of origin is uncertain, likely originating from somewhere in the Caucasus Mountains to the north.

Not so utterly destroyed, more forgotten.

Also, Hittite is an exonym - they called themselves Nešili or Nesians because they were the descendants of the people from Neša, which is the birth city of the Hittite dynastic culture. Otherwise they were called Hatti, which was mostly used by foreigners and refers to the people from Hattusa

Took around 3,000 years to find the great Hittite empire. Wonder what other histories are buried....never to be found.

Over 90% of our knowledge of ancient history was lost when the Library of Alexandria was burnt to the ground by Muslims. It’s not known exactly how much, of course, because it was all lost. Only a fraction survived because copies were made. Since then, we’re like a person with amnesia, or Johnny Mnemonic.

"climate change"

Well, in this instance they are correct in climate change. Apparently, there was a very long and very extensive drought in the Mediterranean area during this period, which did disrupt many civilizations (since they were all agrarian based).
