Hittitology

So when they brought in, um, enslaved scribes, what language are they inscribing in?

in?So I believe, and this is where, you know, I'm not a Hittitologist, I'm friends with Hittitologists, I believe you get a mix, and that you do get some records in the Hittite language done phonetically, but that you also get texts in Egyptian, and that we use both of these sets of texts to understand the Hittites.

Yeah.

Um, anyway, folks, the sun is shining.

Um, so welcome back to the show.

Thank you.

Uh, so I hang out with Hittitologists, uh, because I find it fascinating as somebody who, working on Renaissance Florence, by the way, g- good afternoon from Florence.

Um, as somebody who works on Renaissance Florence, I have the privilege of having mountains and mountains and mountains of documentation.
