Hittites: A History from Beginning to End

By: Hourly History

Narrated by: Scott R. Pollak

The Hittites lived among gods and kings and captivated the mysterious Sir Lawrence of Arabia, among many eager minds. Who were they? Simply warlike conquerors on a mission to impose Hittite power on the world? How did they become part of the elite highly-exclusive club of kings as great as Egyptian, Assyrian, and Babylonian empires of the second millennium BCE?

They created a complex system of collective governance and changed the metallurgy of the ancient world. This mysterious empire remained the unknown fourth empire and thanks to their tradition of preservation we continue solving mysteries buried in their ancient past.

Interesting subject, but pitched at high-schoolers and fairly repetitive. One imagine a producer urging the writers to pitch that T.E. Lawrence connection a little harder to drum up interest.
