A FORGOTTEN EMPIRE

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A 'lost Empire' is a puzzle of undying interest. That of the Hittites is a particularly intriguing subject, since these people were mentioned both in the Old Testament and by the Ancient Egyptians. Not until this century was their capital city discovered.
LEONARD COTTRELL tells the story of how the archaeologists rediscovered this civilisation which flourished more than 3,000 years ago
