The Rise and Fall of the Hittites in Ancient Anatolia
The Hittites were an Indo-European culture that occupied the region of Ancient Anatolia, also known as Asia Minor and today is the region of Turkey. The Hittites expanded their territories from their capital at Hattusa, and ended up consolidating the Hittite Empire which both rivalled and threatened the nation of Egypt.
The Hittites were in control of the Anatolian region in two periods which have been divided by modern scholars as the Old Kingdom between 1700 and 1500 BCE, and the New Kingdom which is also known as the Hittite Empire between 1400 and 1200 BCE. The one-hundred-year gap between the two periods is due to our lack of evidence or sources from the period, which some consider a dark age, and some call the Middle Kingdom, but there was no discontinuity between the Old and the New Kingdoms of the Hittites.
Between c. 1344 and 1322 BCE, during the reign of King Suppiluliuma I, the Hittites reached their peak, but after the death of his son Mursilli II in 1295 BCE, the Hittites decline and finally fell to the Assyrians after being repeatedly attacked by the Sea Peoples and the Kaska tribe.
