The work is at least 500 years old. Hitteren (hit'ter-en). An island of Norway, west of Trondhjem. Length, 30 miles. Hoare, Sir Richard Colt Hittites (hit'its). An important tribe, descended from Heth, son of Canaan, the son of Ham, settled in the region of Hebron on the hill, and often mentioned as one of the seven principal Can a a nite tribes, and sometimes as comprising the whole Can a a nite population. Hittite kings are mentioned who seem to have dwelt north of Palestine. About the middle of the 9th century B. C. they disappear from biblical history. Some scholars, however, distinguish the latter as Syrian Hittites, whom they consider a different tribe from the Can a a nite Hittites. They have lately been identified with the Kheta of the Egyptians and the Chatti of the A yrian monuments. These monuments agree with the notices of the Old Testament in depicting the Hittites as a powerful tribe. Thothmes III., of the 18th dynasty, fought with them about 1600 B. c. in Megid. do. Later Seti attacked them about 1350 B. C., and Rameses II. (the supposed Pharaoh of the oppre ion), defeated them not long after at Kadesh, on the Orontes. The Kheta are also often referred to in the diplomatic correspondence of Tel-el-Amarna. The Chatti are found early in collision with As syria. They were defeated by Tig lath Pile ser I. (1120-1100). A sur nazir pal (884-860) carried their princes into captivity. Under Shalmaneser II. the Hittites entered into an alliance with Ben-hadad of Syria, but were defeated in the great battle on the plains of Syria, and their city, Carchemish, was taken in 855. Twelve Hittite kings are enumerated as contemporary rulers at this time. Sargon finally put an end to the Hittite independence in 717, when the inhabitants of Carchemish were deported to As syria and the city was repeopled with A yrian colonists. Monuments, supposed to be Hittite, have been discovered since 1872 in Hamath, Aleppo, Carchemish, Cappadocia, Lycaonia, and Lydia, which would show that the Hittite empire once spread over the greater part of Asia Minor; and it may be that from there they at one time pushed their way into northern Syria. The question whether they formed one race with the Hittites of the Can a a nite stock remains an open one. The originators of these Hittite monuments are considered by some scholars to have been a "Mongoloid" race. The art exhibited on these monuments is still of a primitive, rude character. The in script ions, in hieroglyphic characters, have not yet been deciphered. Of late there is a tendency among some scholars to consider the Hittites as a race speaking a Semitic language akin to Syriac or Aramaic, and to regard the so called Hittite inscriptions as the work of another people who are, for the time being, called "pseudo-Hittites.'
