“The Hittites are often mentioned in the Old Testament. Otherwise they were a forgotten people until the second half of the nineteenth century. The lack of extra-biblical testimony to their existence led some scholars about a half-century ago to deny their historicity.” [¹]

“But we shall introduce into this history ...only those events which may be useful first to ourselves and afterwards to posterity.”

“ለእናንተ ከሃይማኖት ያንን በእርሱ ኑሕን ያዘዘበትን ደነገገላችሁ፡፡ ያንንም ወዳንተ ያወረድነውን ያንንም በእርሱ ኢብራሂምን ሙሳንና ዒሳንም ያዘዝንበትን ሃይማኖትን በትክክል አቋቁሙ በእርሱም አትለያዩ ማለትን (ደነገግን)።”
— Surah Ash Shuara 42:13
