A number of years back I saw a BBC show where one of the archaeologists was lampooning those who believed in the existence of the Hittites - he categorically stated that the group had never existed and had a good smarmy chuckle to himself over those who took the Bible as an accurate historical record. I had to laugh to myself a little a week later when I saw a TV news story which made claims to the finding of a Hittite village.
That’s quite strange as I was taught about the Hittites in my Archeaology classes in the early 80’s.
