"The Hittites: The Story of a Forgotten Empire" by A. H. Sayce, unveils a rich historical narrative about the Hittite civilization. This book recovers the story of a powerful empire often overlooked in historical accounts through archaeological discoveries, biblical texts, and old writings that confirm the Hittites' existence and importance. The author begins by showing how the Hittites played a key role in ancient times and how new evidence has changed old doubts about them. Sayce uses biblical stories to show how the Hittites interacted with big groups like the Egyptians and Assyrians, shaping the events of the time and giving readers a base for understanding their rise and fall.
