	The Land of a Thousand Gods
		It is hard enough to wrest the names and deeds of the Hittite monarchs from a miscellany of historical inscriptions, treaties, letters, laws, questions put to oracles, royal seals and archeological surveys.
		On the political side, the “Ahhiyawa” of Hittite documents is very likely the Homeric “Achaea”, while the cities of Milawata and Wilusiya, both important as quondam allies or rivals of Hatti, can be identified with greater certainty as Miletos and Troy.
		To begin with, local Hattic deities predominated, but with the political and military expansion of the Hittite world, the divine ranks of the pantheon were swelled by new members, many of whom were gods of the city states and kingdoms that had succumbed to the military might of Hatti.

	The language of threatening letters to King David MetaFilter
		However, I've been urged to share some related links, like this one which explains why Hittite is a black sheep in the IE family, this one, which contrasts the phonetics of Hittite and its relatives, a morphology page with many examples in Hittite and a short description of the relationship between Hittite and Sanskrit.
		Phonetics follows remarkably predictable laws over the course of a language's use.
		Well, with Hittite it's written in a script (cuneiform) that was already known from Akkadian and Sumerian, so the phonetic values weren't much of a problem...

	SOAS:
		Texts to be studied will be selected from Hittite historical, legal and religious texts, such as the Apology of Hattusili, the Old Hittite Laws, the Edict of Telipinu, epic from the Kumarbi Cycle, and the Instructions to Temple Servants.
		Its aim is for the students to achieve facility in reading and translating Hittite, and understanding of the content and background of the set texts.
		The course can be adapted for students who have done no Hittite, in which case an element of introductory grammar and readings from Friedrich's Hethitisches Keilschrift Lesebuch will form the first part.

	The Scroll - Topical Viewer - Archaeology - Code of Hammurabi
		The punishments of the code of Hammurabi stand somewhere between the severity of the Assyrians and the leniency of the Hittite laws.
		Generally speaking, the code of Hammurabi was a very complex and well developed code of laws for the period in which it was to be used.
		The distinctive characteristics of the code of Hammurabi stand in sharp contrast to the Hebrew laws.

	Yazilikaya, Turkey

		The Hittites were polytheist and together with their own gods and goddesses they also worshipped deities deriving from other Mesopotamian cultures.

		The queen was about to violate all laws and traditions by contesting the circumstances that had forced her to first marry her father Akhenaten, then her half-brother Tutankhamun, and probably the old man Ay as well.
		In any case, she addressed a message to the Hittite king Suppiluliumas, asking him to send one of his sons whom she might marry and with whom she might rule the country.
		If yon give me one of them, he shall be my husband and he shall be the king of Egypt." This persuaded Suppiluliumas that the queen's intentions were serious, and he sent his son Zannanza toward Egypt, accompanied by a convoy of guards And courtiers and loaded with gifts.

	The Hittites
		Their invasion spelled the end of the Old Babylonian empire in Mesopotamia (1900-1600 BC), and like so many others before them, the invaders adopted the ways of the conquered; after the conquest of Mesopotamia, the Hittites adopted the laws, religion, and the literature of the Old Babylonians thus continuing the long heritage of Sumerian culture.
		Because their empire was so large and because their primary activity was commerce, trading with all the civilizations and peoples of the Mediterranean, the Hittites were the people primarily responsible for transmitting Mesopotamian thought, law, political structure, economic structure, and ideas around the Mediterranean, from Egypt to Greece.
		Their empire was at its greatest from 1600-1200 BC, and even after the Assyrians gained control of Mesopotamia after 1300 BC, the Hittite cities and territories thrived independently until 717 BC, when the territories were finally conquered by Assyrians and others.

		However due to his illness, he sent his son Shuppiluliuma I as commander of the expeditions.
		However, during the reign of this king, continuous streams of migrant hordes, called "the people of the Aegean," began flowing into Anatolia from Europe.

	Ancient Egypt
		The period immediately following Akhenaten's death was marked by further deterioration in Egyptian power and the subsequent rise of Hittite influence in Syria-Palestine.
		The dangerous accentuation of geographic and ethnic differences was resolved for a time when Menes brought the "Two lands" under his united power, promulgated a body of laws that he claimed had been given to him by Thoth, and established the first historic dynasty.
		When this period, which must not be exceeded, is over, the body is washed and then wrapped from head to foot in linen cut into strips and smeared on the underside with gum, which is commonly used by the Egyptians instead of glue.

	Ancient Law - Professor Bernard Hibbitts
		This seminar explores the laws and legal practices of six ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Egypt, the Hittite Empire, Israel, Greece and Rome.
		We will examine not merely the ancient "law in the books" (the formal written codes that have received so much historical and philological attention over the years) but also the ancient "law in action" (the performances, rituals and ceremonies that created legal rights and duties in all these proto-literate societies).
		Throughout the seminar, emphasis will be placed on developing a broad interdisciplinary perspective on the ancient legal cultures examined; readings will be drawn not only from the fields of law and history, but also from religion, anthropology, archaeology, literature and communication studies.
