Any member of an
Indo-European people whose empire (Old Kingdom c. 1700 – 1500
BC, New Kingdom c.

was centred in Anatolia and northern Syria. Old Kingdom records
detail Hittite territorial expansion; New Kingdom documents contain
accounts of the Battle of
Kadesh, one of the
greatest conflicts of the ancient world, which was fought against
Egypt. Hittite kings had absolute power and were viewed as deputies
of the gods, at death becoming gods themselves. Hittite society was
feudal and agrarian; iron-working technology was developed. The
kingdom fell abruptly, possibly because of large-scale migrations of
Sea Peoples and
Phrygians into parts of the empire.
