O.R. Gurney, a foremost authority on Hittite culture, chronicles the art, religion, law, warfare, and social organisation of this long-forgotten people with scholarly precision and accessible clarity. Drawing on decades of archaeological excavation and the decipherment of cuneiform texts, the work reconstructs a rich and sophisticated civilisation that shaped the ancient world in ways only recently understood. A foundational text for anyone interested in the Bronze Age Near East, it remains essential reading for students of history, archaeology, and ancient cultures alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956367503579,"sku":"2026200008653-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4fd2610d-5fcc-44a4-9c00-dfacffd97eac.png?v=1783500363","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008653-secondhand-the-hittites","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
