THE HITTITES ARRIVE
"The Hittites arrived in Anatolia towards the second millenium BC. They absorbed much of the Babylonian civilization and long enjoyed a monopoly of iron Asia. This, combined with the use of the chariot, gave the Hittites a military superiority over Egypt and other Mesopotamian states. The victorious raid against Babylon in 1590 BC was the climax of the first Hittite empire, followed by a period of decline. Then, in the first half of the fourteenth century, came a revival of power. This second era saw a Hittite hegemony stretching from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf."

Noah was about the 9th generation from Adam and Eve. Noah's 4th son Ham was the father of Canaan. Heth was a decendant of Canaan. The Bible refers to the Hittites as the "sons of Heth", they were of course a Hamitic race.
What I wonder is, why do so many people seem to have a problem with recorded history? I can see where they may reject the religion of these people. But why would they question their existance, just because they reject their religious beliefs?
Maybe because they have not studied up on it enough to know the ancient and prehistoric history in the Cradle of Civilization. So do people deny that the Hittites were the first to use iron and they were fierce in warfare. Or do they just want to deny that they decended from Noah and that Noah decended from Adam?
