History of the Hittites

The Trojan War – Fact or Fiction? The Trojan War. Confined totally to the pages of Homer's The Illiad, the indulgent fantasy of a Greek poet who lived over two and a half thousand years ago- or a historic fact at the centre of the most famous quarrel ever? The Illiad is the ancient tale of a mighty city called Troy that lay at the edge of Asia Minor whose prince abducted Helen, the most beautiful woman of all time, from the king of Greek Sparta, causing the Greeks to send an army in a thousand

The prevailing presence of the Hittites is constantly brought up in Nefertiti. Throughout the entire book, Nefertiti's family and the army bring up their fear of the Hittites coming and invading Egypt. When the royal family first moves from Thebes to Memphis there is a small mention of encroaching war with the Hittites. Once the family is established in their new palace in Memphis, General Horemheb tells Mutnodjmet that the Hittites are taking Egypt's land because Akhenaten had not

“Heroes get remembered, but legends never die,” because their stories are too unbelievable to be buried amongst the ruins of history. This holds true for the Trojan War, the famous war described in Homer’s epic The Iliad. The epic poem tells the tale of a war between the people of Troy (Trojans) and the early Greeks (Mycenaean’s) after Helen, wife of Menelaus in Sparta, was taken by the Prince Paris of Troy and Sparta enlisted help from the Mycenaean ruler, King Agamemnon (Cincinatti ??). Now, the

Mursili II inherited all the qualities of a prosperous and influential king making his rule over the Hittites a dominating force over other empires. He has demonstrated his ruthlessness in military campaigns yet shown mercy and wisdom in betrayal as evidenced in the annals and prayers. Furthermore he was described having shown humility by humbling himself before the gods. Mursili's notable authority and control over Anatolia in response to the crisis during his youth and inexperience validates

Despite his justification for his arguments, a great deal of scholars dismissed his identifications of the towns and characters as either improbable or unprovable, since the Hittite texts at that time provided no clear indication of the location of Wilusa beyond the general location of beyond Western Anatolia.

beginning of civilization starting with the beginnings of even Mesopotamia, history has not only been biased but written by one type of people: the winners. Rarely in history do the winners of a war or battle not write what had happened in their single point of view. The losers are nearly always left out; they're side is almost never heard or even known to exist. The three greatest examples of this bias approach to history are the actions of Hernán Cortes and the destruction of the Aztec civilization

The warrior’s kilt’s design is similar to the kilt of many Egyptian sculptures found throughout art history. In sculptures like Khafre Enthroned , Standing Statue of Hatshepsut , and Menkaure and Khamerernebty, a comparable shape and design of the kilts observed on these sculptures to the kilt observed on The Syrian Warrior God can be found. These kilts

Why the Bible is true     The  Bible  is  one  of  the  most  if  not  the  most  trustworthy  document  of  all  time.  It  also  has  Archaeology,  History,  and  Science  backing  it  up  along  with  many  other  fields.  There  is  so  much  irrefutable  evidence  for  the  Bible  that  if  people  looked  they  would  find  it.    One  of  the  many  testimony  to  the  truth  of  the  Bible  is  Jericho.  Jericho  was  excavated  by  archaeologist  John  Garstang  and  Walter  Garstang  who

Ramses also was a great military leader and made the first know peace treaty with the Hittites (Mark, 2009). During his reign, he was able to keep Egypt secure, increase their wealth, and increased the trade business for all of Egypt (Mark, 2009). Achievements of Ramses II Ramses had quite a few architectural achievements. The biggest accomplishments

military engagements. Throughout many years the Egyptians struggled to keep up with the Hittites. His main force had gotten attacked by the Hittites and luckily got rescued by reinforcements before it was too late. They both tried to claim the win of this battle, although the battle seemed to have stopped with a mutual balance. Ramses II displayed “his victory” on numerous monuments, saying he defeated the Hittites (Dorman). Ramses II had many wives and many children. He had grew old to the age of
