History




Religion
 

The Hittites adopted many of the gods of the Sumerians and Old Babylonians.

 

The odd thing about the Hittites, though, is that they seemed to have recognized that all gods were legitimate gods.

 

Whenever they conquered a people, they adopted that people's gods into their religious system.

 

And the Assyrians seem to have adopted the same tendency to adopt the gods of conquered people, so the Assyrian conquerors of Palestine adopted the Hebrew god, Yahweh, into their religion.

 

This eventually led to the only major religious schism in Hebrew history, the schism between Jews and Samaritans. There are still Samaritans alive today.
