Achaean expansion into Anatolia brought them into conflict with the Hittites. In this video, we talk about the Mycenaean prince Atreas (Attarsiya), Hittite king Tudhaliya and his general Kisnapili, Anatolian warlords Madyattes (Madduwatta) and Kupanta-Kurunta, and the first major conflict between Mycenaean civilization and Hittite empire.

This is the period of history when the classic gods of mythology were born.
Dman you must be the only one covering these events massive respect
Wow, so this is great... I've read a little bit about possible contacts between the Hittites and Mycenaeans and supposed letters between the two from the archives at Hattusa, but never came across something like this with such great detail, maps and machinimas. This is honestly a great video, thanks so much for creating this and shedding light to this extremely interesting by mostly unknown history. I mean, we've all heard of the Trojan War, but most don't know the real history of Bronze Age Greece and the nature of their presence in western Anatolia. Looking forward to the next one!
Thanks man, really appreciate the support! Yes, I have a collection of those letters. Basically all the Hittite correspondence concerning or mentioning the Achaeans that I could find. There will definitely be more videos concerning this topic!
@@WanaxTV, are the Acheans specifically mentioned, or do you refer to a name that sounds similar?
Fun fact: Today, the Northwest province of Peloponnese, Elis, is split into two with the south still called Elis and the north, Achaea. However, the root province of the Achaeans is Argolis (northeast), with its old capital Mycenae. The capital later changed to Argos, which is also the root place of the dynasty of Alexander the Great.
The fact that you do it all by yourself is impressive, it looks really good.
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I've just seen the videos listed on your channel and I will for sure check them out!
I really like your summary about the bronze Age expansion of Acheans in Anatolia but could you tell more about the sources enabling to tell this story please ?
I remember that according to Hittite records, the Achaeans had 100 chariots in this army and scholars think it may have ended in a duel as only 1 casualty from each side is recorded
very very interestied in the Luwians, who seem to have survived the collapse
could you please include in the description the bibliographic sources? that would be like the cherry on top of the pie👍
All our legends and myths come from this era but most Greeks know nothing about this era. Classic and Hellenistic Greek history dominate our school system. Bronze age was covered in a few chapters in the sixth grade when I was at school. After this nothing.
Thank you Dimitrios for stepping by! There will be definitely more videos on this era, especially since it doesn't get much coverage. All the best!
Awesome video! I can’t believe it took me this long to find ur channel. Glad I’m here 🎉
Bro... ... So immersing, interesting
Thank you brother. I appreciate the support! Soon enough I'll make a poll on some ideas for future videos!
You have such a gentle voice ..this video is so informing .. can you make a video of the history of ancient Greece..like its first settlers
These vedios are awesome. Everyone in the world should know this, of the Great Hittites
SO INTERESTING ISSUE! THANKS, A LOT! I APPRECIATE SO PRESIOUS INFORMATION!
This was very interesting!
At last, I was hoping you'd bring up Attarsiya ❤
This is a great video, but I tell my students they should include their sources of information. Could you include a list of where you found the translated Hittite documents? Are there any other historical documents that you used? I would like to share this with my students.
Thanks for the feedback! One of the best sources for this would be the Indictment of Maduwatta. It's covered in a book "Ahhiyawa Texts" by Gary M. Beckman.
It seems that Achaeans prefer to make weapon almost similar to weapons of King Hittite of Hatustusa/Ahhiyawa,the three holes at the base of King's sword.That's two holes at the base of my Achaeans copper/bronze Tongue-like sword.
Vast speculation & extrapolation from known facts here, but I have to admit the manner in which the dots were connected is both possible & satisfying. So it *could* have happened just this way.
Interesting. But I wonder what of this is supported by some documents and what is your hypothesis?
Hitites documentos only
Who was the king of Mycenae in 1450 BC, who sent a delegation or who went to meet with Thutmose III? Was it King Abas?
What is a Colflict?
What are your sources for this conflict?
Hittite cuneiform tablets
Knossos looks and reminds me of gnosis.. weird :D
That Madyattes guy must have been the most treacherous coward of that time lol. Running away and backstabbing ALL his neighborhood.
Wait , isnt war in middle east and aegean is dominated by chariot warfare and rarely pure infantry battles?
Ki van ... Előtte...korábban ..... ..... Ki az őse..... ? :)
Lykia?????
And after this video, and the other about the mycenaean society, it's time to open up laptop, and put up a coastal raid on the Anatolian coast in bronze age TW. (ROME 1, not the mod for Rome 2 where only custom battles are available). Or maybe against the northern villages? Only poor peoples live there, few gold, but are a good source of slaves. An easy prey, the Asian cities are well defended instead. Whatever area I will raid, it's clear that we all hate the hittites here. 😂
