In this episode, we'll explore the Hittites, how the Hittite Empire arose, and why they became the dominant force in the Middle East during the Bronze Age. You'll learn how the Hittite army, armed with war chariots, was able to challenge Egypt itself and why the Battle of Kadesh between Pharaoh Ramesses II and King Muwatalli II became one of the most famous battles in ancient history. It was the largest chariot battle and one of the first battles recorded in detail. We'll discuss how the Hittites created a powerful empire in Anatolia, concluded one of the first international peace treaties after the Battle of Kadesh, and why their civilization suddenly disappeared during the Bronze Age catastrophe. Why were the Hittites considered one of the most powerful powers of the ancient world? How did they manage to compete with Egypt and other great powers? And what caused the fall of the Hittite Empire? We explore the history of one of the most enigmatic civilizations of antiquity.
