Hello!!!
This week we are going back roughly 4000 years ago, in Anatolia, in what is today Turkey. A plateau, created by the forces of the tectonic plates pushing each other, bordering Syria, Iran, Iraq, Armenia or encompassing some of the current countries, the Hittites were an ancient civilization a powerhouse controlling much of the fertile land and trade.
Avid collectors of foreign literature, they saved for our eyes, thousands of clay tablets with myths, legends, incantations and spells of cultures surrounding them, as well as their own history. Peace treaties with Egyptians and trade with the semi-mythical kingdom of the Achaeans or otherwise as we know them Mycenaean Greeks. and their disputre with Wilusa, or as we know it Troy.
Join me to find out more about the people were myth and history collides with some fascinating insights!
