The purpose of this website is to teach you all about the Hittites and what their civilization was like. They were around in about 2000-1200 B.C. The name Hittites means, "sons of terror". The Hittites were seperated into three kingdoms, the Old, the Middle, and the New. Not only were they the first ones to use iron weapons, but they were also the first people to sign a treaty with another civilization. In 1284 B.C., the Hittite king Hattusili III signed a treaty with King Ramses II of Egypt. Each civilization agreed not to attack the other and to defend the other if attacked by a third civilization.
