Inspired by a recent thread, I wanted to get to the bottom of the claim that early critics had denied the existence of the Hittites.

I have presented what I've found on my blog and Ebla.

best,
Peter Kirby

Outstanding, Peter, thank you for this.

If I may, though, I spotted a small copy error that you may want to fix:

Quote:

On the point of whether the Hittites of Genesis are the same as those who are mentioned in Genesis...

Thanks for doing the legwork on this. I appreciate it.

Well done, Peter. I think I've even granted this claim once or twice myself in the past - serves me right for letting Christians get away without citing their sources. Now I know not to let them do that in the future!

Great job, Peter!

The ETANA website has an enormous number of on-line texts on ANE topics, most are old 1880s-1930s but many are useful.

though there is some modern stuff, like this recent e-version of a Dictionary of Sex in the Bible

This one on masculinity is recent.
