It is interesting that the Hittites were so important in their time that others took on their name and culture after their fall. With out finding those texts and their ruins and breaking the code we would never know of them, interesting vid, Cy.

I have been looking for a video about the Neo Hittites for months after watching your documentary on the Hittites. Thank you for making this so much!

Cy, I appreciate your work. Although none of these subjects are new to me I always leave your videos with a bunch of facts I previously didn't know. You know how to find history's most interesting cultures and people ❤

Fascinating! Good for Azatiwadas! He seems to have had the courage of his convictions: he worked hard to run a just and efficient country, was proud of what he’d done for his people, and wanted posterity to know it. He gives full credit to the gods who helped him, and basically teaches us, or warns us, that great achievements are only possible if our actions are grounded in sound principles and informed by reverence for a higher power.

I have been binging your videos with ads. I’ve never heard the history of these people and it’s so new and fascinating to learn about. There were so many changes of power and different groups I wish there was a cheat sheet time line to keep it all straight. 😆 fantastic work

Last time I was this early the Lycians were just helping the Hittites .. instead of helping to destroy them.

Wonderful video. A quick overview of Hittite history before delving into a very un-talked about period in Iron Age history.

I SWEAR, I was just wondering about this 2 days ago! I think I'm fitting into this "ancienthistoryyoutube" train of thought :)

That stamp seal is gangster. The 2 stags and the wolf are the most Indo-Iranian-European symbols with the swastika and sun disk.. good job again!

Great video! I'm looking forward to seeing more videos about ancient Canaan and history of Israel and Judea

Yo nice I don't hear much about the Hittites let alone their neo-states. Another banger bro! And may the force may with you.

Have you considered including the relief on your maps? It need only be a slight background shading. For the history of Anatolia and Persia it's very relevant. I imagine it would be hard or expensive to source good maps, but even hand drawn indication of mountains would be helpful IMO. But, modern satellite maps are no good, much of the area, if not most, that is now desert thanks to soil loss was green in ancient times.

Loved this one because, much like the one of Aramean states, deals with a relativelly ill-known subject on which history books go over very shallowly, if they mention these realms at all. I wonder if they should rather be called Luwian states instead.
