Hittite

[Sarah]

A member of an ancient people (or perhaps group of peoples)whose settlements extended from Armenia westward into Asia Minor andsouthward into Palestine. They are known to have been met along theOrontes as early as 1500 b. c., and were often at war with theEgyptians and Assyrians. Especially in the north they developed aconsiderable civilization, of which numerous monuments andinscriptions are extant. Authorities are not agreed as to their race.While several attempts have been made to decipher the Hittitecharacters, little progress has yet been made.
