Achievements of the Hittites
|
The Hittites were an amazing people. They invented many things including
their own written language. Not many other countries can say that they invented their own written language. They also were very good at fortificating their cities. They would build moats around their walls and the walls being made out of slippery stone. It was very hard to take down their cities. Their palaces had very nice stone that was cut close to perfection and, they also had beautiful sculptures which shows how good they were at cutting and fashioning stone. The Hittites were also the first known people to make things with iron. They did make weapons with bronze but after discovering iron they would use that because it was stronger and more plentiful. The Hittites were also known for designing chariots that were light and fast for battle. They were very skilled in using them also. http://rbedrosian.com/Classic/hsfe8.htm |
