More than 3000 years ago a mysterious and ruthless civilization rose from nothing, created a brutal and unstoppable army, and built an Empire that rivaled Egypt and Babylon. And yet, just as it was at the height of its powers, this great empire suddenly vanished from history.
This is the story of the formidable Hittites, a civilization bent on world domination. Their long lost capital, Hattusha, which disappeared thousands of years ago, has now been rediscovered and archaeologists have unearthed here one of the most astonishing and ingenious cities of the ancient world.
