New English Paperback. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16,5 cm). In English. 94 p. The Hittites: The story of a forgotten Empire. Recent discoveries have retorted the critic's objections upon himself. It is not the Biblical writer but the modern author who is now proved to have been unacquainted with the contemporaneous history of the time. The Hittites were a very real power. Not very many centuries before the age of Elisha they had contested the empire of Western Asia with the Egyptians, and though their power had waned in the days of Jehoram they were still formidable enemies and useful allies. They were still worthy of comparison with the divided kingdom of Egypt, and infinitely more powerful than that of Judah.
Examines the textual and archaeological evidence for a reconstruction of Hittite history and geography, and suggests economic reasons which may have provided the dynamics for the internal organization and the imperial expansion of the Hittite empire.daily life in Late Bronze Age Anatolia, warfare, politics and religion, administration, literature, art, and architecture. His survey covers the cultures of other Anatolian peoples who came into contact with the Hittites-notably the Arzawans, whose kingdom in western Turkey was for much of the period a formidable obstacle to Hittite aspirations."206p. illus index. maps on end papers.

"In addition to the Hittite capital Hattusa the book includes detailed study, pictures and plans of some other sites like Yazilikaya, Alaca Höyük, Kanes/Nesa (Kültepe) and Sarissa(Kusakli Höyük). The Neo-Hittite sites like Karkamis, Azatiwataya or Yesemek and some rarely-visited Hittite reliefs are also included. Sometime in the 1650s BC, a noble clan, who would in our time be named Hittites, making Hattusa its capital, brought together the small independent Anatolian city kingdoms. In a short period and for the first time in the history of the peninsula, it became a kingdom strong enough to challenge the other world kingdoms of the Late Bronze Age, namely Mycenaeans, Egypt, Mitanni/Hanigalbat, Babylonia and the later Assyria. The difficulty of bringing together so many principalities of different size, ethnicity and language under the same flag and competing with well-established sophisticated cultures of the time is evident in the Hittite history and culture. Centred in the large curve of the Halys, which they called the Marasantiya, they had loose frontiers, their longest extending from the Aegean to the other side of the Euphrates (Hittite Mala) and from the Pontic Mountains to the Mediterranean and the source of the Orontes River. The rock-reliefs, which are still spread all around the country, show the routes by which their armies campaigned. The artifacts of their unsophisticated material culture are among the most interesting items of many museums. In Turkey, even if the traveller may not have the chance to visit their capital Hattusa, the name of the Hittites greets him at every turn.".

The elderly king of Tartessos regarded the Phokaians with so much favour as, to beg them to quit Ionia and settle in whatever part of his country they liked. HerodotosThe Phokaians escaping the Persian invasion laid the heaviest curses on the man who should draw back and forsake the armament; and having dropped a heavy mass of iron into the sea, swore never to return to Phokaia till that mass reappeared upon the surface. Nevertheless, as they were preparing to depart for Cyrnus, more than half of their number were seized with such sadness and so great a longing to see once more their city and their ancient homes, that they broke the oath by which they had bound themselves and sailed back to Phokaia.
