Rediscovering a lost world
How do the Hittites tell us about themselves?
The dawn of the Hittite era
The legacy of an ailing king
"Now bloodshed has become common"
The setting for an empire
From near extinction to the threshold of international supremacy
The greatest kingdom of them all
Intermediaries of the gods: the great kings of Hatti
Health, hygiene and healing
No sex please, we're Hittite
Women, marriage, and slavery
All the king's horses and all the king's men: the Hittite military machine
The man who would be king
Partners in power: the great queens of Hatti
City of temples and bureaucrats: the royal capital
An elite fraternity: the club of royal brothers
The Empire's struggle for survival
Rediscovering a lost world

Justice and the commoner.
