Archaeology - Proving the Truth of Scripture - Part 12

Proof that the Hittites existed just as the Bible taught!

According to the Bible, the Hittites were a massive, formidable civilization that interacted with Abraham, fought Israel, and even counted Uriah (the husband of Bathsheba) among their ranks. Yet, when historians looked at ancient Greek, Roman, or Egyptian records available at the time, there was nothing to be found of the Hittites and their empire. Secular academics confidently declared that the Hittites were a fictional nation created by late biblical writers. But then in 1906, a German archaeologist named Hugo Winckler began excavating a massive, mysterious mound in Bogazköy, Turkey. As his team dug deeper, they didn’t just find a few artifacts, they struck a literal historical goldmine. They uncovered Hattusa, the colossal, heavily fortified capital city of the forgotten Hittite Empire.

Deep within the ruins, they found a royal records room packed with over 25,000 ancient clay tablets. When linguists translated them, they realized they were reading the political treaties, laws, and religious texts of a forgotten world superpower that once stood toe-to-toe with Ramesses the Great of Egypt.

Once again, secular history had to be completely rewritten because it had doubted the accuracy of the Bible. The Bible you hold in your hands isn’t a book of fairy tales; it is an accurate record of human history. Trust all that it teaches!
