Hi all and greetings from the tiny island of Sark where I’ve escaped to for a bit of post video-editing relaxation (and filming of course).

Glad to have this one finally finished, it’s been in the works for a few years now. Next I’ll get back to the gigantic entire history of the Mycenaeans I’ve been working on all year … in a couple of days I’ll update the video description to include a detailed source list from Gordon.

All the best and see you on the next one!
Pete

Edit - Ramesses II’s wife was Nefertari not Nefertiti! Sorry about this mistake I made.

Ottoman Empire collapsed 1922. not 1992. Apologies for the typo.

May the old gods of the algorithm bless this video

This is by far the best history channel on YouTube. Great content, outstanding photography and production values, and no cheesy AI voice narration. 👍👍👍👍

[abdelraman]

What I like most in this channel is that you don't keep changing the style everytime.

[tkush]

🎉 This is what used to be high budget TV documentaries, back when TV actually had documentaries and not just.. "history channel" style " reality" TV programs.

I love your channel because it gives me that nostalgic sense of wonder of watching a good history docu as a kid.

Quality, everything, it is always bloody amazing. Keep up the great work my friend !

[ldawg]

Holy shit. Guess I haven't bothered to look at your subscriber count since early covid days when I first found your channel. Legit helped me get though those early lockdown days.. but goddamn! 1.2 MILLION subscribers now?? Thats absolutely INSANE. Very much deserved!

[Girlytang]

This production is exceptional and wholly engaging. The Hittites were impressive people. Listening to you recount these great civilizations is my guiltiest pleasure. Well done! Thank you!

[robmckay]

A fine way to spend 2hrs 35 minutes.. I love this mans work

[classiclife]

Really terrific video. Between this channel and Fall of Civilizations, YouTube proves it CAN be a useful and educational history resource, when it allows creators to make it so. Learned quite a bit about the Hittites today.

[jimbeaux]

I fall asleep to Pete’s videos.

I love how he talks and breaks things down.

I also love how he chooses peaceful music for his videos.

Just all around so relaxing

[finalfalcon]

Dude im so happy this is about to drop. I find the hittites to be one of the most fascinating and overlooked peoples in ancient history. Pete is a damn legend.

[Perspectiveon]

Yeah. Another brilliant Pete Kelly Production. Made my day.

[dominicmcauley]

Hey Pete great to have you & some quality content back & great subject for a return with The Hittites.

[kats]

Had to pause and comment after the description of that massive battle. Thank you for describing that in a way where I could imagine it as a Hollywood movie. Yes, there are lots of epic Greek or Roman battles on the big screen but there are thousands of years of equally dramatic battles that Hollywood hasn't even thought of. Thank you for giving the story the weight, dynamism, and sense of scale it deserves!

[AnAfriCanuck]

another bamger! history time is the goat of youtube docs, especially considering his calm and poised approach to narroration. born to do this!

[tomkeithley]

I have been waiting for something in depth about the Hittites for years! Thank you!

[panaceiasuberes]

I'm a simple person... I see 'Hittites' in the title... I click.

[jimfarias]

Thank you Pete for this and all your other documentaries. The quality and attention to detail is a cut above the rest.

[NatureXKPT]

Yours is the best, most comprehensive History chan on the entire internet in my opinion 😍😍

[secretreagent]

Finally, I can fall asleep and dream about being amongst the mighty Hittites
