I am an atheist who has read the bible and studied other religions to a lesser degree in my attempt to better understand the beliefs of their adherents. Yours is a great lecture series and it is interesting to learn more about competing nations and empires and their relationship to a biblical timeline. Although skeptical, I find the history and stories of the bible compelling and they often shed light an who we are and how we got here. My sincere thanks to you.
I haven't listened to the earlier lectures and don't know what reasons Gore gives for placing the period of the Judges in the 1300s. Most mainstream scholars place the origin of Israel in the 1200s. A good overview of the problems found in all dating schemes can be found in Out of the Desert- December 1, 1999 by William H. Stiebing www.amazon.com/Out-Desert-William-H-Stiebing/dp/1573922358
Thanks for the feedback. You are quite correct about the issues related to the date of the Exodus. A robust minority take a different view, however, based on the biblical chronology itself, the history of the 18th Dynasty, and other external and internal evidence. Most of this is covered in the preceding lectures. Thanks again!
Monsieur Gore, votre cours qui se termine en homélie est excellente. Soyez assuré de mon admiration et désormais je vais regarder toutes vos interventions.
Hi Bruce, I'm completely enjoying your historical series, so mmmuch so that I'm looking to study Ancient History at University. I'm 71 and have always been a Christian. I was brought up in the Presbyterian church. As I commented last time ,I truly believe God gas blessed you as a teacher of his Bible record . I only wish my invitations to other people are taken up so that they can learn about God's plan through your teaching. Forever grateful..an Aussie Grandma.😊
I remember when I was a kid, I would get on Sunday school bus and go to this church. My parents did not choose the church. The availability of a bus that passed through my neighborhood chose it. I was only like 8, but the Pastor would tell these gripping tales about Abraham, Isaac, Moses and so on. I could almost picture the world they lived in. It gave me my love for History. Since then I've grown up. I outgrew some of the more religious parts... but my love for history remained. And I remember all those old stories. It's great to see how they fit into the rest of the world around them. For some reason I had assumed that the exodus was related to the late bronze age collapse, but I guess it does make more sense that it was right before we start hearing about the Philistines who were likely part of the sea peoples.
Philastines were the People of three tribes their lithography images say so they were the descendents of ashyrians Hittites and Hyksos people Hittites were most probably an Eurasian race ashyrians from Africa and Hyksos descendents of nienderthals
I'm happy that i found this channel. Historie is so interesting, and to see it together with the bible is very very great. In school we should learn this and for so many ppl in could be a eye opener. Unfortunately in school you learn nothing in historie lessons
Very very great message to the end of this presentation. I listen to many many messages, most of them way more then an hpuer...But seldom see the strength of an inner man for the passion that he serve everyone with.. And so very objectively...
I continue to enjoy Professor Gore's lectures on the Bible and ancient near east. I've studied about those Europeans the Hittites for some time. One of the greatest mysteries of the Bible remains the Old Hittite Nation.
You might find J.G. Macqueen, "The Hittites" (Thames and Hudson) an interesting read. He does not explore the biblical connections too much, but the history he documents certainly correlates reasonably well with the biblical narrative, and especially with the general distribution of Hittites around the near east after the fall of the Hittite Empire (c. 1100 b.c.). Thanks for your feedback!
I can't tell you how much Power that this Lesson has brought to me, yes i am real close to be 53 years of steadfast belief in God and the Spirit of Jesus who dwells in me, with me and through me, i do admit the struggle of understanding the Trinity, it wasn't until i came up against the most Powerful Hittite at the age of 47 years old, this is when i experienced the Holy Spirit, and this was when it all came together and i escaped death looking me in the face, i have never ever doubted God and his Son Jesus the Christ, though i like Jacob, have questioned and screamed out for an answer during these Hittites i had experienced in my life, looking back at a time when all my friends would laugh and say that the Bible is nothing but a story Book made to believe so that we can be controlled by some secret Society, i refused and believed, now since those way smarter than i, like you have brought truth to the Bible. I can't be more Grateful today! Thank you and may our Lord God bless you in Jesus Name.
Your friends were right and to say God has a Son and that Son is God is Blasphemy. The Trinity is Man, Women and Seed and is the embodiment of God on Earth. We die and come back to do it all again and your karma will affect the type of person/quality of life that come back to/as.
Elias Farendune Clobberer Are you all there mentally? There is no God as in the one in the bible obviously and even if you believe that then you believe he has no equals and certainly no Son and claiming Jesus is lord is the same as Baal, Baal means lord. Girls don’t have children without coming together in union with Man and then 9 to 10 months later the trinity is completed and this trinity creates life like God is said to do. Also there is absolutely no evidence of a real Jesus and a Hebrew in that area from that time period would never be named Jesus. Christos mean anointed, The Anointed One and is a state of being that one reaches when they became me a prophet so to speak. Bible is a corruption from the oldest version but there are ancient teachings hidden within for those who can see.
If intersted...Rothman, quoted said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction. according to Anthropologist Mitchell S. Rothman regarding the extent of discoveries and specially on the quality of horse bones proved, According to him, that it was from the Shangavit Armenian 6000 years ago that the culture of that area spread around to the ancient world... Professor Jensen also says. ‘For almost everything that is known in the Hittite language is Old Armenian in form..Historian Sayce 1845-1933) also consider Hittite and Armenian to be one and the same’. what some historians say...H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan...
I appreciate you Bruce thank you for letting me spend time with you with these TH-cam videos I've learned so much from you the Lord has given me a small group of people that have never read the Old Testament for my Thursday night bible study group we just finished Joshua and are entering into the Book of Judges I love history and have been trying to find a way to incorporate historical events with teaching the Old Testament although my class is all grown adults husband and wives mothers and fathers their grasp on the Old Testament and in our history is minimum I pray to the Lord if there was any way that I didn't have to do this let me know if it was okay for me to pass this over but it's obvious to me that the Lord chose me to do this and I don't want to fail in this task anyway there are Hittites here for me and your teachings in your videos incorporating history with Biblical events that's been a great source of help and peace for me I find that you have done exceptional work may I even say nearly exhaustive and I commend you sir God has gifted you with great ability although I'll probably never meet you in this life I would love to talk to you sometime maybe if we meet in heaven we could spend some time in a conversation God bless you Bruce thanks again
What a fantastic teacher of God’s Redemptive Testimony called His “Word”. Sure wish I knew where your church is located because I’m moving there. Thank you so much! My eyes were glued to the screen and I can’t wait to see the next one. God bless you
Well done & thanks for posting. I'm having a hard time finding a parish that will discuss the Old Testament, much less study it. I'm surrounded by people preaching tolerance & forgiveness at the cost of their thoughts, dreams, & self esteem. It seems like they gloss over the old testament & even portions of the gospel to push their social agenda. I wish I could do more than give a thumbs up & comment
"In primitive society punishment is synonymous with revenge, & is impossible to distinguish 'civil' from 'criminal' offenses. The injured party will avenge himself as best he can upon the wrongdoer, or if he is dead, vengeance becomes the duty of his relatives, & there then arises a blood-feud. The matter may, however, be settled by payment of money if the parties can agree to this; such a payment is known as 'COMPOSITION'.... The blood-feud still survived in the Hittite Old Kingdom is clear from the following passage in the Edict of Telipinus: The rule of blood is a follows. Whoever commits a deed of blood, whatever the 'lord of blood (i.e., the Hebrew go'el) says-if he says 'Let him die', he shall die; but if he says 'Let him make restitution', he shall make restitution: the king shall have no say in it. The practice of giving 'persons' as part of the COMPOSITION for manslaughter is remarkable. The expression is that generally used for slaves. Perhaps such slaves were slain at the tomb of the deceased, as in some other ancient societies." [The Hittites, O.R. Gurney, 1966, Ch. Laws & Institutions, §. 3: Retribution & Restitution, p. 94-98] "In this respect Hittite law is comparatively advanced. retribution plays an inconspicuous part in comparison with the principle of restitution. The only capital offenses are rape, sexual intercourse with animals, and defiance of the authority of the state; also, if the offender is a slave, disobedience to his master and sorcery." [The Hittites, O.R. Gurney, 1966] "Question: Is it true that the Torah requires rape victims to marry their rapists, and the only punishment to the rapist is a fifty-shekel fine paid to the victim’s father? Response: Actually the reverse is true: The victim is not required to marry the rapist; the rapist is required to marry his victim (if she consents), after paying her a very heavy fine." www.chabad.org/parshah/article_cdo/aid/1940448/jewish/Does-the-Torah-Punish-a-Rape-Victim.htm "Both version make a careful distinction between killing in anger and killing accidentally; but it is curious that the only case which we should describe as willful murder is mentioned in connexion with a merchant, who seems to be treated rather in a class by himself, and is associated with the motive of robbery. The absence of a specific clause dealing with murder has been noticed also in both the code of Hammurabi and in the Assyrian laws. The crime is treated at length in the Israelite code, but we see from such passages as Deuteronomy xix. 12 that the Hebrew judicial authority ties had nothing to do with the murderer except to hand him over to the vengeance of the go-el, the 'redeemer', i.e. the next of kin." [The Hittites, O.R. Gurney, 1966]
In serious prayer, I asked to understand the order of biblical history from the disorder of the old testament. I realize the books were designed to be read in comparison with one another for new meanings to become visible as we grow spiritually but geez I was making a misery out of my effort. It was my symbolic Hittite, but I kept searching, knowing my prayer would be answered. Now here I am typing a thank you to you. The funny thing was, I took a break last night and watched a documentary on the Hittites.
There is nothing symbolic about the Hittites. They were people who lived in Canaan land when Israel got there, and they had to subdue them through war. 2Chronicles 8:7-8, "As for the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day." The Bible is very clear if you don't listen to men's interpretation of it. Keep studying and let the Holy Spirit do the teaching!
There are two separate things there. The historicity of the Bible and the interpretation of the Bible. You'll get further by understanding the historicity first.

At about 7:30 what you said about Japheth the migration of his descendants used to not be controversial at all rather a general consensus among Bible believing Christians.....I'm going to look into the links between the Hittite language and English because I did not know the link until hearing this lecture. So thank you!!!
I actually picked up that language connection in a History Channel episode that dealt with the Hittites. I can't link you to it, but if you do a little searching you might come across it. It's fascinating.
Bruce Gore Please could you comment on the time of the exodus and the Bronze Age collapse?? Very interested in the collapse of the Babylonian Hittites and Samarian cultures and Samarian cultures and to what extent of ancient eejit survived as the only principle culture to get through this Bronze Age collapse time... Could it be argued that Israel came into existence as a result of the chaos left by the Bronze Age collapse ??
Assuming the collapse of the Bronze came later than 1200 b.c., the common view, it is unlikely that the Exodus resulted from the event. Generally the latest date that scholars tie to the Exodus would be sometime earlier in the 1200s, and many (including myself) would put the date in the mid 1400s b.c.
@Bruce Gore thank you for this. The Philistines invasion climate-induced drought and volcanic activity may well have all come at the same time creating a civilization collapse. I have heard that only limited ancient Egyptians survived and that the Hittites Sumerians Babylonians were pretty much wiped out. Presumably, pre-bronze age collapse there was significant societal interaction for several thousand years preceding . from what you're saying the exodus would have taken 200 to 400 years prior to the collapse. Judaism would have been young at this point. What evidence is there of early Judaism interacting with the well established religious practices at this time? I know there are great similarities with Gilgamesh and the biblical flood... Many influences must've crossed over at this time? I'm also interested in what affects the Bronze Age collapse would have had on the establishment of Israel? .... My last question is at that time of the exodus from your lecture, which I'm enjoying intensely, it would seem that Egypt's rule the land up to the Hittites now Lebanon. How is it that the Israelites could've invaded a piece of land administered by Egypt? dan
If the Exodus took place c. 1447, then the conquest of Canaan would have started around 1400 b.c. During the pertinent time, the ruler of Egypt was Akhenaten, who took little interest in protecting the Levant, in spite of entreaties from the rulers of Phoenicia who complained of attacks from the south by the 'Apiru' (likely, Hebrews). The 'dark age' that followed the collapse of the Bronze Age corresponds with the period of the Israelite monarchy under Saul, David, and Solomon (c. 1100 - 900). The modest similarities between the Gilgamesh Epic and the biblical account of the flood suggest, in my opinion, independent memories of the same event.
Such a brilliant presentation and fluid in content and descriptions (and opinions). So happy to come across this........Prey tell, who are the Hittites?
The Hittites dominated the region of Anatolia in ancient times, but people of Hittite extraction could be found throughout the Ancient Near East. An excellent treatment of their history is available here: www.amazon.com/Hittites-Contemporaries-Ancient-Peoples-Places/dp/0891585206/ref=sr_1_1?crid=TXOMHVIQWTCC&keywords=J.G.+Macqueen&qid=1691788687&sprefix=j.g.+m%2Caps%2C278&sr=8-1
I'm studying the Bible with the jehovah's witnesses and what you're saying makes so much sense. I even think that the collapse of the bronze age coincides with the time of the deluge. The first known civilisation were the sumerians, interestingly Sumer was right in the the region where according to the Bible, the ark came to rest, and the place where God confused the languages is in that same region too. Everything you're saying fits very well in the Bible's narrative. Thank you so much for this lecture, it makes the Bible even more revealing and trusting
How could the Bronze age collapse coincide with the deluge? Its not as if the region had been devoid of life and such it was simply a collapse of established long standing nations.

19:45 Troy is very Hittite looking in construction. It had the same narrow walkways as the Hittite capital city of Hattusa. Cultures tend to have certain hallmarks of their construction styles and I’m nearly positive Troy is Hittite or CLOSELY related and allied.
Omg. Why is on all of these maps the way of Alexander’s conquest which happened 900 Years later depicted? Is it so hard to get a blank map from that area?
O? I thought the etruscan is not indoeuropean and was one of two remained protoindoeuropean languages together with the bask language, before the etruscan disappeared. Maybe a language family that goes back to the anatolian farmers that moved into europe from 7000years ago. Maybe a later connection to the proto greek language on Lemnos - there is some findings there. Also the indoeuropean is most probably not from east anatolia but from a north kaukasian area that tamed horses, invented carts and formed then the yamnaya culture in the steppes north of the black and kaspian sea. Later moved from there to anatolia as well as to europe and both sides around the kaspian sea. Later proceeded to India as well.
Most of of these ancient names have been accounted for. But I've been on a little bit of a listening quest . Trying to hear mention of the Gergashites. Do we not know? We're they associated with Agag? Maybe someone reading this can point 👉☝️?
What's going on here? He is showing two different movies on the same screen. Rameses II is not fighting a war with Hatti to let the Judges run Canaan. Amenhotep III was king of Canaan of Egypt during the Judges as well. Othneil never wrote one Amarna letter stating how 7 times 7 he bowed down to him.

You must distinguish between black Hittites the partners of Abraham 1900bc. and the Arian Hittites, 1300BC. relatives of the Assyrians: The black Hittits are called Proto- Hittites.
You are making a mistake in your thinking, because there were two different peoples with the name Hititi: ---1: You mean the sons of Heth the Cananite in Genesis 10. They lived around the year 2000 BC. in Canaan and were never in Persia ---2: I'm talking about the Hititis of Anatolia, they lived from 1700 BC. to 1200 in Anatolia. These were the descendants of the Kethura, a large people who spoke a Germanic language and founded Troya and later around 800BC. fled to Germany from the Assyrians
Probably, courage is given by God, but in a way that I can not define, like a talent. But there is an other layer of courage that comes from the fear we betray the trust of the righteous and this type of courage has something warm in it. I am thinking of the prisoner for which life some human beings fight to liberate. God gave him the courage to survive but not the tenderness of human solidarity. I am really moved by these lectures.
The knife got stuck in rolls of fat of Eglon. My buddy was an EMT in KY. They got a call to get a fat lady out of the bathtub that was stuck. When they rolled her onto the table in the hospital a cockroach came out from under a roll.
This was one of my favorites. Do you know if the Hittites are the Hyksos? Or did the Hyksos come before around the time of Joseph around 1590 or 2000 bc When it comes to King tut, according Ron, Wyatt King Tut was the eldest son of Thutmose III who died on the 10th plague on Egypt.
To the East of the Hittites there was Urartu and Nairi, both precursors of Armenia, and the Armenian People. That area which stretches from the area West of Lake Van, Eastward to Mount Ararat, and North to Lake Sevan, would become the heartland of Armenia, and the Armenian Highlands.
I always thought that the Hittites that the Israelites were dealing with were of Hametic origin from the lineage of Canaan and his alleged son Heth. The Hittites of Anitolia were actually a conglomeration of Japhethetic stock. Mostly out of the lineage of Kitt(I'm). The bible says that Abraham bought land from the sons of Heth to bury his wife way back before the Hyksos period. I think it is a mistake to refer to the Anatolian group as Hittites. They were (K)hattains. The Hattians formed most likely from bands of Ashkenaz, Gomer, Kitt, and other groups of Japhethetic or Indo-European stock that unified into one country around 1800. That may be why they had so many gods.
I agree with you. I think a lot of the teaching being done by those who call themselves teachers is an attempt to confuse and distract from the truth. He said that the information he was giving is not in the Bible, so he is making it up as he goes. I've seen a number of these documentaries that try to make the Hittites Indo- European, to fit the Jewish narrative. We must be able to discern the truth as well as read the facts!
You do know that the Ancient Israelites were polytheist right? This isn't really a controversial statement given that the majority of the Prophets in the OT railed against the prolific polytheism of the people of Israel warning them that it would bring punishment from God on them.
Good question! There are many events of ancient history that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible (e.g., the Trojan War, the Dorian Invasion, the fall of the Hittite Empire, etc.). The Battle of Kadesh falls in that category. The Bible does not purport to provide a comprehensive survey of ancient history, but rather tells the story of redemptive history, which involves God's call of a man, a family, and a nation for purposes of preparing the way for Messiah. The purpose of this series of lectures is simply to fill in the blanks a bit, by outlining the broader events of history, especially as they may intersect with biblical history.
Thank you Mr. Gore. Just got your book and see why I could not find it in hardback - the book is huge and would weigh 50 lbs if hardback. Love history and thankful for your classes (and book) to help make sense of it all. Great job Mr. Gore!
You'd be the perfect person to read Velikovsky's Ages of Chaos, Volume 1. Astonishing thesis there re the chronology of the bible, including this period, the judges.
Velikovski wrote at a time before Morris and Whitcomb's "The Genesis Flood" i.e. before American creationism flourished. Velikovski is interesting but his thesis (Venus was perturbed in orbit) is erroneous, not founded in science nor scripture.
Informative, but he failed to mention the most famous Hittite in the Bible: Uriah, who was very loyal to the Israelite army and possibly a convert to YHVH. This revises the question: Do you know any Hittites? Do you generally lump all Hittites together as opposition, or do you get to know individuals and learn they can be good people?
Wow yeah Uriah the Hittites. Loyal military guy to Israel what a way to die though. You fighting in battle real hard like wtf is going on where's my back up why are the walls closing in on me ? All because King David screwed your wife and sent a letter by you're own hands to withdraw from the battle as you're in the thick of the battle. That's what u get for being loyal servant 🛀

@@GoreBruce why did you call The Hittites “Indo Europeans”? In you bible the Hittites are sons of seth and seth is a son of caanan and caanan is the son of Ham.
Ham’s son of Canaan, from his son Heth. Canaan was cursed and many of his seed looks white and mongoloid yet are from Ham. Hence the Amorite Hyksos. This is part of the curse of Canaan. “And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth, and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,” Genesis 10:15-16 KJV

Samson is a very powerful men with little brain. Asked several times by Dalila: Where is located your power, he gave foul answers. In a minute, after the answer, the adversaries entered the room and aim at the precise location of his power. Obvious, his power was elsewhere, so he could easily defeat the enemies. 3 times in a row the same event took place and he did not understood what was happening. The fourth time he told the truth and he was imprisoned and blinded by enemies. What we can learn from this character. Probably it is better not to be so powerful but to have some brain and to learn from experience.

@@chalinofalcone871 The fact that the king has no say is typical of the Hittite form of government, which was in no way dictatorially authoritative, but the king had to report to a kind of control council. This was the same way of governing as the German emperors of the Middle Ages.🤠
If you read hebrew you can see the bible code where it talks about Israelites who betray G-d worshipping the religion of the wood and the religion of the stone. And on the same paragraph in equal minimal skips are "yeshu" and "mecca."
The missing components from the narrative are the giants. When thinking about the hittite and Egyptian border, you have to think about the giant civilization that may have existed in Israel as a buffer state and / or whom the giants were fighting for. We have their weapons and skeletons, the tombs of anak, etc.
Amun-Re was the main god of the Egyptians at that time. He must have known the god of the Israelites. Perhaps they sometimes met up for a barbecue. Zeus and Astarte may also have been invited. On this occasion they came up with the latest calendar sayings for the respective believers and laughed their heads off.
Good stuff...I would not have used a map showing Alexander's conquest of the Persian Empire which occurs a thousand - 750 years later but I guess you're okay. Good info here.
Parvaneh Kurd Parvaneh, the period of time that Mr. Gore is discussing in this video predates the Kurds by some 2,000 years and in fact predates the rise of the Persians Empire by nearly 600 years.
Any professed Christian must know that the Bible should be used to prove findings not manipulated to serve our findings and preconceived notions. By the sons of Japheth were the Isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands, everyone after his tongue...etc.(Gen 10:2-5). Life moved from Mount Ararat (Gen 8:4) to the land of Shinar (Gen 11:1-2) and it's in these days also (the days of Peleg) between 1757AM and 1787AM (Gen 10:25, 11:16,18) (AM=Anno Mundi aka year of the world aka year of creation) that the earth is divided. Mount Ararat and the land of Shinar are two fixed, irrefutable points of migration. How is a people of a grandson of Ham (Heth, father of the Hitties Gen 10:15, 23:10, 26:34, 27:46) associated with the supposed lands of the posterity of Japheth? A son of Canaan no less. Who's lands and tongues are clearly outlined (Gen 10:19-20). God gave us the geography, time, point of migration/origin, language, heritage, culture, etc. Why must we constantly contradict the Bible? Why do we attempt to bend scripture to our will to fit our narrative?
The Hittites and the Hivvites are the two Canaanite tribes living in the mountains they were the two tribes that would attack the rest of Canaan and they are the Greeks and Romanians this is why these peoples had the Appollo in their Pantheon after the wars of joshua, the Canaanite Gods are actually different, some have the Baals while others had the appollo and Jupiter variations, so there is two canaanite pantheons. The romanians were near the Danube at the time of the celts.
They attacked the other canaanites because as mountain folk they were considered like land pirates, they probably un civilliced the gael and Scandinavians, the terrain crossing the mountains was the main factor however the hittites and hivvites were attacking the tribes as they crossed through.
"In primitive society punishment is synonymous with revenge, & is impossible to distinguish 'civil' from 'criminal' offenses. The injured party will avenge himself as best he can upon the wrongdoer, or if he is dead, vengeance becomes the duty of his relatives, & there then arises a blood-feud. The matter may, however, be settled by payment of money if the parties can agree to this; such a payment is known as 'COMPOSITION'.... The blood-feud still survived in the Hittite Old Kingdom is clear from the following passage in the Edict of Telipinus: The rule of blood is a follows. Whoever commits a deed of blood, whatever the 'lord of blood (i.e., the Hebrew go'el) says-if he says 'Let him die', he shall die; but if he says 'Let him make restitution', he shall make restitution: the king shall have no say in it. The practice of giving 'persons' as part of the COMPOSITION for manslaughter is remarkable. The expression is that generally used for slaves. Perhaps such slaves were slain at the tomb of the deceased, as in some other ancient societies." [The Hittites, O.R. Gurney, 1966, Ch. Laws & Institutions, §. 3: Retribution & Restitution, p. 94-98] "In this respect Hittite law is comparatively advanced. retribution plays an inconspicuous part in comparison with the principle of restitution. The only capital offenses are rape, sexual intercourse with animals, and defiance of the authority of the state; also, if the offender is a slave, disobedience to his master and sorcery."

Gurney, 1966] "Question: Is it true that the Torah requires rape victims to marry their rapists, and the only punishment to the rapist is a fifty-shekel fine paid to the victim’s father?

A correction, Etruscan is not an Indo-European language, it is likely a member of the Tyrsenian languages which included Rhaetic and Lemnian. Also Kassite is not an Indo-European language it is rather a language isolate.
The Hittites are the proto IndoEuropean children of King Nimrod, great grandson of Ham and Queen Semiramis. His contemporary is Abraham, who with his nephew Lot from are from the line of Shem are the progenitors of the Semites like Jews and Arabs.

I've been thinking that the nephylum and hittites were working together to invade. Subvert and fall human civilizations. The "cone heads" like nephertiti and aknatun could be the 200 iggiggi who came down fromzrs and took human females account in lost book of enki is same account as the fallen angels.

I am an atheist who has read the bible and studied other religions to a lesser degree in my attempt to better understand the beliefs of their adherents. Yours is a great lecture series and it is interesting to learn more about competing nations and empires and their relationship to a biblical timeline. Although skeptical, I find the history and stories of the bible compelling and they often shed light an who we are and how we got here. My sincere thanks to you.
I honored by your generous comments. Thank you!
I haven't listened to the earlier lectures and don't know what reasons Gore gives for placing the period of the Judges in the 1300s. Most mainstream scholars place the origin of Israel in the 1200s. A good overview of the problems found in all dating schemes can be found in Out of the Desert- December 1, 1999 by William H. Stiebing www.amazon.com/Out-Desert-William-H-Stiebing/dp/1573922358
Thanks for the feedback. You are quite correct about the issues related to the date of the Exodus. A robust minority take a different view, however, based on the biblical chronology itself, the history of the 18th Dynasty, and other external and internal evidence. Most of this is covered in the preceding lectures. Thanks again!
Thanks. I'll have a listen. Wouldn't be the first time the consensus is wrong.
oh, ok.
Really happy to find this. My 9 year old picked TURKEY for his indepth country study on Asia. This is perfect!
Whoa whoa , where have I’ve been. This was so good. Thank you soo much God is Good.
Awesome material, and great spiritual lesson
Monsieur Gore, votre cours qui se termine en homélie est excellente. Soyez assuré de mon admiration et désormais je vais regarder toutes vos interventions.
Hi Bruce, I'm completely enjoying your historical series, so mmmuch so that I'm looking to study Ancient History at University. I'm 71 and have always been a Christian. I was brought up in the Presbyterian church. As I commented last time ,I truly believe God gas blessed you as a teacher of his Bible record . I only wish my invitations to other people are taken up so that they can learn about God's plan through your teaching. Forever grateful..an Aussie Grandma.😊
I am very grateful for your interest and encouragement, dear sister. Blessings in your studies!
I remember when I was a kid, I would get on Sunday school bus and go to this church. My parents did not choose the church. The availability of a bus that passed through my neighborhood chose it. I was only like 8, but the Pastor would tell these gripping tales about Abraham, Isaac, Moses and so on. I could almost picture the world they lived in. It gave me my love for History. Since then I've grown up. I outgrew some of the more religious parts... but my love for history remained. And I remember all those old stories. It's great to see how they fit into the rest of the world around them. For some reason I had assumed that the exodus was related to the late bronze age collapse, but I guess it does make more sense that it was right before we start hearing about the Philistines who were likely part of the sea peoples.
I am delighted to hear from you. Thank you!
Sweet Jesus, man! Connect the dots. History is His story. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Philastines were the People of three tribes their lithography images say so they were the descendents of ashyrians Hittites and Hyksos people Hittites were most probably an Eurasian race ashyrians from Africa and Hyksos descendents of nienderthals
Hopefully, you'll outgrow history to find that there is a master of it. Nothing happens without His knowing and permission.
I'm happy that i found this channel. Historie is so interesting, and to see it together with the bible is very very great. In school we should learn this and for so many ppl in could be a eye opener. Unfortunately in school you learn nothing in historie lessons
This is great! Thank You for posting this.
Very very great message to the end of this presentation. I listen to many many messages, most of them way more then an hpuer...But seldom see the strength of an inner man for the passion that he serve everyone with.. And so very objectively...
Excellent Presentation. Thank you for making this available.

And why do I care what you think?
Always admire those who study Biblical history. Some of the timelines presented here are questionable. We should always be learning more. Good stuff.
I continue to enjoy Professor Gore's lectures on the Bible and ancient near east. I've studied about those Europeans the Hittites for some time. One of the greatest mysteries of the Bible remains the Old Hittite Nation.
You might find J.G. Macqueen, "The Hittites" (Thames and Hudson) an interesting read. He does not explore the biblical connections too much, but the history he documents certainly correlates reasonably well with the biblical narrative, and especially with the general distribution of Hittites around the near east after the fall of the Hittite Empire (c. 1100 b.c.). Thanks for your feedback!
I can't tell you how much Power that this Lesson has brought to me, yes i am real close to be 53 years of steadfast belief in God and the Spirit of Jesus who dwells in me, with me and through me, i do admit the struggle of understanding the Trinity, it wasn't until i came up against the most Powerful Hittite at the age of 47 years old, this is when i experienced the Holy Spirit, and this was when it all came together and i escaped death looking me in the face, i have never ever doubted God and his Son Jesus the Christ, though i like Jacob, have questioned and screamed out for an answer during these Hittites i had experienced in my life, looking back at a time when all my friends would laugh and say that the Bible is nothing but a story Book made to believe so that we can be controlled by some secret Society, i refused and believed, now since those way smarter than i, like you have brought truth to the Bible.
I can't be more Grateful today!
Thank you and may our Lord God bless you in Jesus Name.
I am very grateful to hear from you. Thank you.
Your friends were right and to say God has a Son and that Son is God is Blasphemy. The Trinity is Man, Women and Seed and is the embodiment of God on Earth. We die and come back to do it all again and your karma will affect the type of person/quality of life that come back to/as.
Elias Farendune Clobberer Are you all there mentally? There is no God as in the one in the bible obviously and even if you believe that then you believe he has no equals and certainly no Son and claiming Jesus is lord is the same as Baal, Baal means lord. Girls don’t have children without coming together in union with Man and then 9 to 10 months later the trinity is completed and this trinity creates life like God is said to do. Also there is absolutely no evidence of a real Jesus and a Hebrew in that area from that time period would never be named Jesus. Christos mean anointed, The Anointed One and is a state of being that one reaches when they became me a prophet so to speak. Bible is a corruption from the oldest version but there are ancient teachings hidden within for those who can see.
Elias Farendune Clobberer Hense asking if you are all there mentally, there is nonsense proving such a thing and especially to such a person.
If intersted...Rothman, quoted said...''All that was known in Mesopotamia came from Armenia and that Armenia is the absent fragment in the entire mosaic of the ancient world's civilization's construction. according to Anthropologist Mitchell S. Rothman regarding the extent of discoveries and specially on the quality of horse bones proved, According to him, that it was from the Shangavit Armenian 6000 years ago that the culture of that area spread around to the ancient world...
Professor Jensen also says. ‘For almost everything that is known in the Hittite language is Old Armenian in form..Historian Sayce 1845-1933) also consider Hittite and Armenian to be one and the same’. what some historians say...H.V. Hilprecht(1859-1925) a Clark research professor of Assyriology and scientific director Babylonian expedition at the University of Penn. argue that the Hittite tongue is Armenian and the Hittites themselves were of Armenian stock...according to Ellis (1861) through language analysis we observe that under the names of Phrygians, Thracians,Pelasgians and Etruscans spread westward from Armenia to Italy and Elis claimed that the closest affinities of the Aryan element are the Armenians ..other historians that agree are..Hellenthal, Busgy, Brand, Wilson, Myers and Falush...let me quote Merrick (2012) All religions are descended from and ancient Vedic cosmology described in the Rib - Veda, originating in Armenia near Mt. Ararat at least 6800 ys ago and the basic concepts of a transcendental mountain extending into space and populated planet Star-gods were developed...he further says...This Astrotheology then migrated with Armenian Aryans to found the Sumerian Ethiopian/Egyptian and Indian civilizations and religions...from Language as a fingerprint Setyan...
I appreciate you Bruce thank you for letting me spend time with you with these TH-cam videos I've learned so much from you the Lord has given me a small group of people that have never read the Old Testament for my Thursday night bible study group we just finished Joshua and are entering into the Book of Judges I love history and have been trying to find a way to incorporate historical events with teaching the Old Testament although my class is all grown adults husband and wives mothers and fathers their grasp on the Old Testament and in our history is minimum I pray to the Lord if there was any way that I didn't have to do this let me know if it was okay for me to pass this over but it's obvious to me that the Lord chose me to do this and I don't want to fail in this task anyway there are Hittites here for me and your teachings in your videos incorporating history with Biblical events that's been a great source of help and peace for me I find that you have done exceptional work may I even say nearly exhaustive and I commend you sir God has gifted you with great ability although I'll probably never meet you in this life I would love to talk to you sometime maybe if we meet in heaven we could spend some time in a conversation God bless you Bruce thanks again

'Insightful to ignorance' ...I am not familiar with that phrase.
Compliment or criticism?
that is what i mean
Well done & thanks for posting. I'm having a hard time finding a parish that will discuss the Old Testament, much less study it. I'm surrounded by people preaching tolerance & forgiveness at the cost of their thoughts, dreams, & self esteem. It seems like they gloss over the old testament & even portions of the gospel to push their social agenda.
I wish I could do more than give a thumbs up & comment
Well, for what it's worth, your encouraging comment and thumbs-up mean a great deal to me, so thank you!
Fantastic educator.
May Father YAHweh bless your understanding.

In serious prayer, I asked to understand the order of biblical history from the disorder of the old testament. I realize the books were designed to be read in comparison with one another for new meanings to become visible as we grow spiritually but geez I was making a misery out of my effort. It was my symbolic Hittite, but I kept searching, knowing my prayer would be answered. Now here I am typing a thank you to you. The funny thing was, I took a break last night and watched a documentary on the Hittites.
There is nothing symbolic about the Hittites. They were people who lived in Canaan land when Israel got there, and they had to subdue them through war. 2Chronicles 8:7-8, "As for the people that were left of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which were not of Israel, But of their children, who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel consumed not, them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day." The Bible is very clear if you don't listen to men's interpretation of it. Keep studying and let the Holy Spirit do the teaching!
she clearly knows they actually existed
Ask God for wisdom, and He will give it to you.
There are two separate things there. The historicity of the Bible and the interpretation of the Bible. You'll get further by understanding the historicity first.
"the possessions that had been promised to Abraham": A nice expression for land taken by force-.
Saved by grace thru faith.
Great history followed by an inspirational message!
Excellent and well worth a watch. 😊

Thank you for the brain fodder. Happy I found you.
At about 16:00 the "Hebrews" were not Jews, they were all 12 tribrea.
Please continue to to videos like this.
god bless you thanx for the vdo
You u tubers out there should check out what a great historian this guy is. Hes got a load of stuff ,stretching out for decades.
That’s not true. Please read the first 5 books of the Bible including Kings, Judges. You will see who the Hittites are…
At about 7:30 what you said about Japheth the migration of his descendants used to not be controversial at all rather a general consensus among Bible believing Christians.....I'm going to look into the links between the Hittite language and English because I did not know the link until hearing this lecture. So thank you!!!
I actually picked up that language connection in a History Channel episode that dealt with the Hittites. I can't link you to it, but if you do a little searching you might come across it. It's fascinating.
Bruce Gore Please could you comment on the time of the exodus and the Bronze Age collapse?? Very interested in the collapse of the Babylonian Hittites and Samarian cultures and Samarian cultures and to what extent of ancient eejit survived as the only principle culture to get through this Bronze Age collapse time... Could it be argued that Israel came into existence as a result of the chaos left by the Bronze Age collapse ??
Assuming the collapse of the Bronze came later than 1200 b.c., the common view, it is unlikely that the Exodus resulted from the event. Generally the latest date that scholars tie to the Exodus would be sometime earlier in the 1200s, and many (including myself) would put the date in the mid 1400s b.c.
@Bruce Gore thank you for this. The Philistines invasion climate-induced drought and volcanic activity may well have all come at the same time creating a civilization collapse. I have heard that only limited ancient Egyptians survived and that the Hittites Sumerians Babylonians were pretty much wiped out. Presumably, pre-bronze age collapse there was significant societal interaction for several thousand years preceding . from what you're saying the exodus would have taken 200 to 400 years prior to the collapse. Judaism would have been young at this point. What evidence is there of early Judaism interacting with the well established religious practices at this time? I know there are great similarities with Gilgamesh and the biblical flood... Many influences must've crossed over at this time? I'm also interested in what affects the Bronze Age collapse would have had on the establishment of Israel? .... My last question is at that time of the exodus from your lecture, which I'm enjoying intensely, it would seem that Egypt's rule the land up to the Hittites now Lebanon. How is it that the Israelites could've invaded a piece of land administered by Egypt? dan
If the Exodus took place c. 1447, then the conquest of Canaan would have started around 1400 b.c. During the pertinent time, the ruler of Egypt was Akhenaten, who took little interest in protecting the Levant, in spite of entreaties from the rulers of Phoenicia who complained of attacks from the south by the 'Apiru' (likely, Hebrews). The 'dark age' that followed the collapse of the Bronze Age corresponds with the period of the Israelite monarchy under Saul, David, and Solomon (c. 1100 - 900). The modest similarities between the Gilgamesh Epic and the biblical account of the flood suggest, in my opinion, independent memories of the same event.
Thank you !
The Apostle Paul says it was about 450 years for the time of Judges until Samuel ! This period ended when Samuel anointed Saul to be King .
Good teaching sir!
Such a brilliant presentation and fluid in content and descriptions (and opinions). So happy to come across this........Prey tell, who are the Hittites?
The Hittites dominated the region of Anatolia in ancient times, but people of Hittite extraction could be found throughout the Ancient Near East. An excellent treatment of their history is available here:

Those darn seapeople
One, if by land. Two, if by sea!
Sea mites
@@NwoDispatcher it sounds itchy :)
I think the sea people may have been Canaanites displaced by the Israeli conquest. What do you think?
@@d.l.l.6578 Nope. The Canaanites were Semitic and the Sea People were Indo-European.
The Semites were new comers to the area in relation to the Hittites..
I'm studying the Bible with the jehovah's witnesses and what you're saying makes so much sense. I even think that the collapse of the bronze age coincides with the time of the deluge.
The first known civilisation were the sumerians, interestingly Sumer was right in the the region where according to the Bible, the ark came to rest, and the place where God confused the languages is in that same region too.
Everything you're saying fits very well in the Bible's narrative.

How could the Bronze age collapse coincide with the deluge? Its not as if the region had been devoid of life and such it was simply a collapse of established long standing nations.

19:45 Troy is very Hittite looking in construction. It had the same narrow walkways as the Hittite capital city of Hattusa. Cultures tend to have certain hallmarks of their construction styles and I’m nearly positive Troy is Hittite or CLOSELY related and allied.
Omg. Why is on all of these maps the way of Alexander’s conquest which happened 900 Years later depicted? Is it so hard to get a blank map from that area?
O? I thought the etruscan is not indoeuropean and was one of two remained protoindoeuropean languages together with the bask language, before the etruscan disappeared. Maybe a language family that goes back to the anatolian farmers that moved into europe from 7000years ago. Maybe a later connection to the proto greek language on Lemnos - there is some findings there. Also the indoeuropean is most probably not from east anatolia but from a north kaukasian area that tamed horses, invented carts and formed then the yamnaya culture in the steppes north of the black and kaspian sea. Later moved from there to anatolia as well as to europe and both sides around the kaspian sea. Later proceeded to India as well.
Most of of these ancient names have been accounted for. But I've been on a little bit of a listening quest . Trying to hear mention of the Gergashites. Do we not know? We're they associated with Agag? Maybe someone reading this can point 👉☝️?
What's going on here? He is showing two different movies on the same screen. Rameses II is not fighting a war with Hatti to let the Judges run Canaan. Amenhotep III was king of Canaan of Egypt during the Judges as well. Othneil never wrote one Amarna letter stating how 7 times 7 he bowed down to him.

They are. They're so-called aliens.
You must distinguish between black Hittites the partners of Abraham 1900bc. and the Arian Hittites, 1300BC. relatives of the Assyrians:
The black Hittits are called Proto- Hittites.
You are making a mistake in your thinking, because there were two different peoples with the name Hititi:
---1: You mean the sons of Heth the Cananite in Genesis 10. They lived around the year 2000 BC. in Canaan and were never in Persia
---2: I'm talking about the Hititis of Anatolia, they lived from 1700 BC. to 1200 in Anatolia. These were the descendants of the Kethura, a large people who spoke a Germanic language and founded Troya and later around 800BC. fled to Germany from the Assyrians
@@GoreBruce Exactly.. Hittites are Indo-Europeans, and had an Germanic Language. : eating and drinking in Hittite menas . etan , drikan.🤠
Rullers of Mittani are even more mysterious. IE speakers and even Vedic gods worshipers.
Probably, courage is given by God, but in a way that I can not define, like a talent. But there is an other layer of courage that comes from the fear we betray the trust of the righteous and this type of courage has something warm in it. I am thinking of the prisoner for which life some human beings fight to liberate. God gave him the courage to survive but not the tenderness of human solidarity. I am really moved by these lectures.

History existed before ancient Israel and for long after.
The pharaoh Ay is hardly an insignificant leader. He was advisor for 3 pharoah's wasnt he?
WOW very impressive . Who are the Christian sect he belongs to ?
Mainstream Presbyterian.
Pharao Akanaton I think was married to a Hittite woman( King Tutankamon was born from this marriage🤔)
The knife got stuck in rolls of fat of Eglon. My buddy was an EMT in KY. They got a call to get a fat lady out of the bathtub that was stuck. When they rolled her onto the table in the hospital a cockroach came out from under a roll.
Do you know who the historical Uriah the Hittite is?
He was apparently a man of Hittite extraction who was a proselyte to Israel and a warrior in David's army.
This was one of my favorites. Do you know if the Hittites are the Hyksos? Or did the Hyksos come before around the time of Joseph around 1590 or 2000 bc
When it comes to King tut, according Ron, Wyatt King Tut was the eldest son of Thutmose III who died on the 10th plague on Egypt.
The Assyrians are also around. I hear that they are a fine Christian People.
To the East of the Hittites there was Urartu and Nairi, both precursors of Armenia, and the Armenian People. That area which stretches from the area West of Lake Van, Eastward to Mount Ararat, and North to Lake Sevan, would become the heartland of Armenia, and the Armenian Highlands.
12:13 so people still think the exodus happened?
I always thought that the Hittites that the Israelites were dealing with were of Hametic origin from the lineage of Canaan and his alleged son Heth. The Hittites of Anitolia were actually a conglomeration of Japhethetic stock. Mostly out of the lineage of Kitt(I'm). The bible says that Abraham bought land from the sons of Heth to bury his wife way back before the Hyksos period. I think it is a mistake to refer to the Anatolian group as Hittites. They were (K)hattains. The Hattians formed most likely from bands of Ashkenaz, Gomer, Kitt, and other groups of Japhethetic or Indo-European stock that unified into one country around 1800. That may be why they had so many gods.
Good thoughts...thanks! You might be interested in an excellent treatment of the Hittites by J.G. Macqueen, The Hittites (Thames and Hudson).
Thanks!
I agree with you. I think a lot of the teaching being done by those who call themselves teachers is an attempt to confuse and distract from the truth. He said that the information he was giving is not in the Bible, so he is making it up as he goes. I've seen a number of these documentaries that try to make the Hittites Indo- European, to fit the Jewish narrative. We must be able to discern the truth as well as read the facts!
You do know that the Ancient Israelites were polytheist right? This isn't really a controversial statement given that the majority of the Prophets in the OT railed against the prolific polytheism of the people of Israel warning them that it would bring punishment from God on them.
@@bonnievable why when historians have proven that timeline is real
Hope yoe know that Hitites , Hajasa and Mittani (mi tun) (means one household) are ancient armenian countrirs.
Mr. Gore - why was battle of Kadesh not mentioned in the Bible? Because it didn't involve Israel?
Good question! There are many events of ancient history that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible (e.g., the Trojan War, the Dorian Invasion, the fall of the Hittite Empire, etc.). The Battle of Kadesh falls in that category. The Bible does not purport to provide a comprehensive survey of ancient history, but rather tells the story of redemptive history, which involves God's call of a man, a family, and a nation for purposes of preparing the way for Messiah. The purpose of this series of lectures is simply to fill in the blanks a bit, by outlining the broader events of history, especially as they may intersect with biblical history.
Thank you Mr. Gore. Just got your book and see why I could not find it in hardback - the book is huge and would weigh 50 lbs if hardback. Love history and thankful for your classes (and book) to help make sense of it all. Great job Mr. Gore!
The father founder of the Hittites was Heth,son of Canaan,son of Ham, son of Noah. Read Gen.ch.10
You'd be the perfect person to read Velikovsky's Ages of Chaos, Volume 1. Astonishing thesis there re the chronology of the bible, including this period, the judges.
Thanks!
Velikovski wrote at a time before Morris and Whitcomb's "The Genesis Flood" i.e. before American creationism flourished. Velikovski is interesting but his thesis (Venus was perturbed in orbit) is erroneous, not founded in science nor scripture.
Informative, but he failed to mention the most famous Hittite in the Bible: Uriah, who was very loyal to the Israelite army and possibly a convert to YHVH. This revises the question: Do you know any Hittites? Do you generally lump all Hittites together as opposition, or do you get to know individuals and learn they can be good people?
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
He mentioned Uriah the Hittite in a previous lesson
But just in passing, not how he fit into the international political situation of the day
Wow yeah Uriah the Hittites.
Loyal military guy to Israel what a way to die though.
You fighting in battle real hard like wtf is going on where's my back up why are the walls closing in on me ?
All because King David screwed your wife and sent a letter by you're own hands to withdraw from the battle as you're in the thick of the battle.
That's what u get for being loyal servant 🛀

@@GoreBruce why did you call The Hittites “Indo Europeans”? In you bible the Hittites are sons of seth and seth is a son of caanan and caanan is the son of Ham.
So which one of Noah's sons did the hittites derive from?
If, as many believe, the Hittites were Indo-European, then from a biblical perspective, they would descend from Japheth.
Ham
Noah never existed
Ham’s son of Canaan, from his son Heth. Canaan was cursed and many of his seed looks white and mongoloid yet are from Ham. Hence the Amorite Hyksos. This is part of the curse of Canaan.

Samson is a very powerful men with little brain. Asked several times by Dalila: Where is located your power, he gave foul answers. In a minute, after the answer, the adversaries entered the room and aim at the precise location of his power. Obvious, his power was elsewhere, so he could easily defeat the enemies. 3 times in a row the same event took place and he did not understood what was happening. The fourth time he told the truth and he was imprisoned and blinded by enemies. What we can learn from this character. Probably it is better not to be so powerful but to have some brain and to learn from experience.

We may have "Hittites" in our lives, but then again, we also are "Hittites". We are not innocent.

"In primitive society punishment is synonymous with revenge, & is impossible to distinguish 'civil' from 'criminal' offenses. The injured party will avenge himself as best he can upon the wrongdoer, or if he is dead, vengeance becomes the duty of his relatives, & there then arises a blood-feud. The matter may, however, be settled by payment of money if the parties can agree to this; such a payment is known as 'COMPOSITION'....
The blood-feud still survived in the Hittite Old Kingdom is clear from the following passage in the Edict of Telipinus:
The rule of blood is a follows. Whoever commits a deed of blood, whatever the 'lord of blood (i.e., the Hebrew go'el) says-if he says 'Let him die', he shall die; but if he says 'Let him make restitution', he shall make restitution: the king shall have no say in it.
The practice of giving 'persons' as part of the COMPOSITION for manslaughter is remarkable. The expression is that generally used for slaves. Perhaps such slaves were slain at the tomb of the deceased, as in some other ancient societies."

@@chalinofalcone871 The fact that the king has no say is typical of the Hittite form of government, which was in no way dictatorially authoritative, but the king had to report to a kind of control council. This was the same way of governing as the German emperors of the Middle Ages.🤠
If you read hebrew you can see the bible code where it talks about Israelites who betray G-d worshipping the religion of the wood and the religion of the stone. And on the same paragraph in equal minimal skips are "yeshu" and "mecca."
The missing components from the narrative are the giants. When thinking about the hittite and Egyptian border, you have to think about the giant civilization that may have existed in Israel as a buffer state and / or whom the giants were fighting for.
We have their weapons and skeletons, the tombs of anak, etc.
Amun-Re was the main god of the Egyptians at that time. He must have known the god of the Israelites. Perhaps they sometimes met up for a barbecue. Zeus and Astarte may also have been invited. On this occasion they came up with the latest calendar sayings for the respective believers and laughed their heads off.

Any professed Christian must know that the Bible should be used to prove findings not manipulated to serve our findings and preconceived notions. By the sons of Japheth were the Isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands, everyone after his tongue...etc.(Gen 10:2-5). Life moved from Mount Ararat (Gen 8:4) to the land of Shinar (Gen 11:1-2) and it's in these days also (the days of Peleg) between 1757AM and 1787AM (Gen 10:25, 11:16,18) (AM=Anno Mundi aka year of the world aka year of creation) that the earth is divided. Mount Ararat and the land of Shinar are two fixed, irrefutable points of migration. How is a people of a grandson of Ham (Heth, father of the Hitties Gen 10:15, 23:10, 26:34, 27:46) associated with the supposed lands of the posterity of Japheth? A son of Canaan no less. Who's lands and tongues are clearly outlined (Gen 10:19-20). God gave us the geography, time, point of migration/origin, language, heritage, culture, etc. Why must we constantly contradict the Bible? Why do we attempt to bend scripture to our will to fit our narrative?
I agree with you. The Hittites are children of Canaan which is a son of Ham, how on earth they are changing the identity of these peoples.
Thankyou for your skills sir
The Hittites and the Hivvites are the two Canaanite tribes living in the mountains they were the two tribes that would attack the rest of Canaan and they are the Greeks and Romanians this is why these peoples had the Appollo in their Pantheon after the wars of joshua, the Canaanite Gods are actually different, some have the Baals while others had the appollo and Jupiter variations, so there is two canaanite pantheons. The romanians were near the Danube at the time of the celts.
They attacked the other canaanites because as mountain folk they were considered like land pirates, they probably un civilliced the gael and Scandinavians, the terrain crossing the mountains was the main factor however the hittites and hivvites were attacking the tribes as they crossed through.

A correction, Etruscan is not an Indo-European language, it is likely a member of the Tyrsenian languages which included Rhaetic and Lemnian. Also Kassite is not an Indo-European language it is rather a language isolate.

The Hittites are the proto IndoEuropean children of King Nimrod, great grandson of Ham and Queen Semiramis. His contemporary is Abraham, who with his nephew Lot from are from the line of Shem are the progenitors of the Semites like Jews and Arabs.
