Chapter 466 The Hittite Kingdom Worshiping the Goddess

The Asia Minor peninsula covers an area of ​​about 50 square kilometers and is a land rich in natural resources.

The two mother rivers of Mesopotamia, the Tigris and the Euphrates, originate in Asia Minor.

The natural resources here mainly include marble, coal mines, gold mines, silver mines and other resources.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of copper mines that the Hittite Kingdom of Asia Minor Peninsula became the first powerful country in West Asia to smelt iron weapons.

The Asia Minor peninsula is rich in river resources and numerous lakes, making two-thirds of the land here - that is, 30 square kilometers of land suitable for farming.

It is precisely because of the land suitable for farming that the combined population of the various kingdoms in the Asia Minor peninsula is at least three to four million.

Before 3000 BC, the ancient Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder crossed the Caucasus region and entered the peninsula of Asia Minor.

The Euphrates River is like a signpost guiding the ancient Aryans. These nomadic peoples went all the way south along the Euphrates River, occupying a large area of ​​land in the eastern part of the Asia Minor Peninsula and the upper reaches of the Mesopotamia.

Because the living space was taken away by the ancient Aryans, the local ethnic groups in the eastern part of the Asia Minor Peninsula and the upper reaches of the Mesopotamia were forced to migrate to other areas.

This is why the Phoenicians, who worshiped the goddess Aphrodite, migrated to the Phoenician region, and the Pilaski, who worshiped the goddess of the earth, migrated to the Greek region.

Before 300 BC, the Hattites in the central part of the Asia Minor peninsula entered the city-state era and established many city-states that enshrined the goddess of the earth as their patron saint.

Before 2000 BC, the Hittites, the ancient Aryans who worshiped the sun god, crossed the Caucasus region and entered the peninsula of Asia Minor.

The appearance of the ancient Aryans who worshiped the sun god means that in the place where the ancient Aryans originated—the Eastern European Plains, the ancient Aryans who worshiped the sun god completely defeated the ancient Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder.

From this era, all the ancient Aryans who entered the continent of Asia Minor worshiped the sun god, and there were no more ancient Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder.

On the Persian plateau, the Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder [Indra Zeus] were driven to India by the Aryans who worshiped the sun god [Mithra Vishnu].

Mithra, the sun god, became king of the gods on the Persian plateau.

After the Aryans who worshiped the god of thunder [Indra Zeus] briefly conquered India, the Aryans who worshiped the sun god began to invade India again, and the god of thunder [Indra Zeus] was driven out of the gods The throne of the king, the Aryan sun god [Mithra Vishnu] and the local god Shiva worshiped by the aborigines became the king of the two gods.

In addition, Brahma, who was revered as the creator god in name, became the later three-phase god.

Before 800 BC, the Hittites began to conquer and assimilate the Hittites with the city of Kusar as the center.

In 1640 BC, the Hittites conquered all the Hittite city-states.

During the process of the Hittites conquering the Hittites, the sun god worshiped by the Hittites absorbed the Hittite goddess of the earth and became the goddess of the sun and the earth Alina.

In 1625 BC, the Hittite king Hattusili conquered the Kizuwatna area in the southeastern part of the Asia Minor peninsula and invaded the Yamhad kingdom in the northern part of Syria.

1600 BC -

The Hittite king Mursiri conquered the kingdom of Yamhad and launched a war to destroy the kingdom of Babylon.

Judging from the timeline, it took only 40 years for the Hittite Kingdom to complete the unification of the Hittite city-state.

The rapid expansion of the Hittite Kingdom laid many hidden dangers.

The Hittite king married the powerful city-state princes, and marrying the Hittite princess to the city-state princes was undoubtedly the biggest hidden danger of the Hittite Kingdom.

As a country that worships goddesses and regards Alina, the goddess of the sun and the earth, as the queen of the gods, the princesses of the Hittite Kingdom also have the right to inherit the throne.

So the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom-Hantili, who married the Hittite princess and became the brother-in-law of the Hittite King Mursili, staged a coup after the war to eliminate the Babylonian Kingdom, killed Mursili and usurped the throne.

Han Tiri's coup plunged the Hittite kingdom into chaos.

The Kizuvatna region was conquered by the Hittite kingdom in just 25 years.

It took less than a year for the Kingdom of Yamhad to be conquered by the Hittite Kingdom.

Therefore, there is a high possibility of rebellion in these two areas, causing the Hittite Kingdom to lose one-third of its territory and population.

In the history of another world, Hantili’s son-in-law Zidanta launched a coup to seize the throne, and the Kizuwatna region and the Yamhad Kingdom [Northern Syria] regained independence from the Hittite Kingdom.

1599 BC.

When the time entered January, Roy did not celebrate his first New Year in this world, but took [-] cavalry into northern Syria—the original Tutul Kingdom.

Tutule Kingdom is a city-state with only one Tutule City.

Because of its weak strength, Tutule City directly surrendered to the Hittite Kingdom after the Hittite Kingdom conquered the Yamhad Kingdom.

Now that Luo Yi came to Tutule City with five thousand cavalry, the governor of Tutule City surrendered directly, perfectly interpreting how the grass on the wall fell with the wind.

Of course, Roy would not be polite when dealing with such fools.

Although Tutule City voluntarily surrendered, Roy moved all the governors and nobles of Tutule City to Babylon, leaving [-] soldiers to take over Tutule City.

After incorporating the city of Tutule into the territory of the Athens Empire, Roy led the army to the city of Emaar.

These city-states that had just been conquered by the Hittite Kingdom did not have the strength to resist Roy at all.

The governors and nobles who ruled these city-states immediately called for help as quickly as possible in order to preserve their power and wealth.

Two days later.

Hattusa, the capital of the Hittite Kingdom.

royal palace.

The usurpering Hittite king Han Tiri received the envoys for help in the throne hall.

"You say the Athenians are invading the Hittite kingdom?"

After hearing the news reported by the envoy, Han Tiri frowned and said.

"It's really abhorrent that Emperor Roy of Athens invaded the Hittite Kingdom at such a time."

Han Tiri's son-in-law Qi Danta was his accomplice in the coup.

Seeing his father-in-law frowning tightly, Qidanta said proactively.

"Father! The first thing we need to do now is to capture Mursili's children and relatives. We should not have a war with the Athenian Empire at this time."

"Am I going to stand by and watch the Athenians take over northern Syria?"

Han Tiri stared angrily at Qidanta and said.

"And I've met Emperor Loi of Athens. I can see that he is a young man full of ambition. Even if I watch him swallow the northern part of Syria, his ambition will not be satisfied. Next he will invade Kizuvatna region, and then the core area of ​​the Hittite Kingdom - the war between the Hittite Kingdom and the Athenian Empire is inevitable. It may not be a bad thing for us to carry out this war. We can just use the invasion of the Athenian Empire to unite the various city-states , let them agree with me as the new king, and fight against the Athenians together under my leadership."

Qidanta said with a hesitant expression.

"Since we are going to fight the Athenians, our soldiers will be transferred from Hattusa, and the children of Mursili will probably take this opportunity to escape."

"idiot!"

Han Tiri couldn't help cursing.

"Mulsiri's soldiers are already under my control, so what if those princes and princesses escaped from Hattusa City."
