Kings of the Hittites

"Kings of the Hittites" offers a comprehensive examination of one of the most enigmatic civilizations of the ancient world. Based on the prestigious Schweich Lectures, David George Hogarth provides an in-depth analysis of the Hittite Empire, focusing on its monarchs, political structures, and archaeological remains. The work explores the geographical reach of the Hittites across Anatolia and Northern Syria, detailing their interactions with neighboring powers such as Egypt and Assyria.

Hogarth synthesizes evidence from monuments, inscriptions, and excavations to reconstruct the history of this influential Bronze Age culture. The book features detailed discussions on the art, architecture, and religious practices that defined the Hittite identity. This scholarly contribution remains a significant resource for understanding the complexities of ancient Near Eastern history and the rediscovery of a lost empire through archaeological inquiry. It serves as an essential text for students and enthusiasts of ancient history and archaeology interested in the development of early states in the Mediterranean and Levant.
