Rise of the Hittite Empire

Rise of the Hittite Empire

The Hittites of Anatolia emerge as a superpower rivaling Egypt, building an empire that controls much of modern Turkey and northern Syria.

What Happened

Under King Suppiluliuma I, the Hittites expand aggressively into Syria, shattering the Mitanni kingdom and directly threatening Egyptian interests. Their mastery of iron-working technology gives them a military edge, and their sophisticated legal codes reveal a surprisingly advanced civilization. The Hittites are mentioned repeatedly in the Hebrew Bible, and archaeology has confirmed they were every bit the major power the biblical writers suggested.
