		Hittites (Hebrew Hittim), ancient people of Asia Minor and the Middle East, inhabiting the land of Hatti on the central plateau of what is now Anatolia, Turkey, and some areas of northern Syria.
		The importance of the discovery is that the archives made it possible to decipher the Hittite language, thus revealing information about previously unknown aspects of the culture, such as political organization, legislation, religion, and literature.
		The literature of the Hittites was highly developed, particularly in the form of historical records and stories.

	HITTITES in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		The Syrian Hittites in Marchassi, North of the land of the Amorites, were led shortly after by Edugamma of Kinza (probably Kittiz, North of Arpad) in alliance with Aziru the Amorite, on a great raid into Phoenicia and to Bashan, South of Damascus.
		The power of the Hittites was thus entirely broken before Sennacherib's time, but they were not entirely exterminated, for, in 673 BC, Esar-haddon speaks of "twenty-two kings of the Chatti and near the sea." Hittite names occur in 712 BC (Tarchu-nazi of Meletene) and in 711 BC (Mutallis of Commagene), but after this they disappear.
		Hittite gods and warriors are shown as wearing a high, conical head-dress, just like that which (with addition of the Moslem turban) characterized the Turks at least as late as the 18th century.

	Hittites : Hittites
		The Hittite kingdom, which at its height controlled central Anatolia, north-western Syria down to Ugarit, and Mesopotamia down to Babylon, lasted from about 1680 BC to 1200 BC, with an as yet unexplained hundred-year gap from 1500 to 1400 BC.

		Hittites or (more recently) Hethites is also the common English name of a Biblical people (חתי or HTY in the consonant-only Hebrew script), which are also called Children of Heth (בני-חת;, BNY HT).

	Hittites - Art History Online Reference and Guide
		The early Hittites, whose prior whereabouts are unknown, borrowed heavily from the pre-existing Hattian culture, and also from that of the Assyrian traders — in particular the cuneiform writing and the use of cylindrical seals.
		Since Hattic continued to be used in the Hittite kingdom for religious purposes, and there is substantial continuity between the two cultures, it is not known whether the Hattic speakers — the Hattians— were displaced by the speakers of Hittite, were absorbed by them, or just adopted their language.
		Hittite prosperity was largely depending on the control of trade routes and metal sources (some consider the Hittites to be the first to have discovered how to work iron, thus the first civilisation which entered the Iron Age).

		He claimed that the problem passages in the Bible were not isolated cases that could be solved one by one as “editorial insertions,” but were rather a pervasive evidence of a third person account.
		Thus, the Bible, being pretty much the only source that claims to cover this particular period, becomes quite seductive; never mind that the archaeology doesn’t really “fit,” or can only be made to fit with a large helping of assumption or closing of the mind to other possibilities.
		In the Bible, the story of the unification of the tribes of Israel under David, followed by the great reign of Solomon, followed by schism in the reign of Solomon’s son Rehoboam, is the central theme.

		The Hittites, emerging from a period of confusion, then upset the status quo with a devastating defeat of Tushratta, setting off a precipitous decline in the kingdom.

		For starters, these are not the Hittites of the Bible (who are later, located in Syria and/or Canaan and are only to an unclear extent influenced by the earlier Hittites).
		The advances in reading the Hittite texts have done much to fill in many of the gaps in their history over the past 3 decades, a good reason to keep current even in a subject that one feels one already knows.
		The result of this turbulent political culture was that few Hittite kings dared to leave their capital of Boghazkoy for fear of a palace coup being hatched in their abscence.
