Hittite Mythology: The Forgotten Empire of a Thousand Gods and the Storms That Shaped Civilization brings to life one of history’s most mysterious pantheons, where divine power, love, vengeance, and wisdom wove the fabric of existence itself. Few people know that long before the Greeks or Romans, the Hittites told the first stories of gods who battled serpents, vanished in despair, and were reborn to restore balance to the world. Within these ancient tales lie the hidden origins of myths that shaped entire civilizations — the seeds of Zeus, the shadow of Cronus, and the wisdom of Ea, the god who spoke through water and silence. What you’re about to discover will change how you see the world’s oldest faiths.

This book matters because it unearths a civilization that connected heaven and earth through balance, compassion, and sacrifice. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how ancient people found meaning in chaos and how their timeless truths still speak to us today — in every act of resilience, every storm overcome, and every renewal of hope.
