  • Summary

  • Dive into the enigmatic depths of ancient history with us on this episode of "Nothing New Under the Sun." Join us as we unravel the mysteries surrounding the great kingdom of Ahhiyawa, a powerful entity mentioned by the Hittites, shrouded in the mists of time.

    Scholars have long debated the true identity of Ahhiyawa, speculating whether it might be the Achaeans or another Hellenic group. However, the chronology of the Bronze Age presents a perplexing challenge. What if the history we attributed to the Bronze Age actually unfolded during the Iron Age?

    In a groundbreaking revelation, we explore how Ahhiyawa might be more than just a distant legend. Drawing on linguistic connections and archaeological evidence, we reveal an astonishing possibility: Ahhiyawa might be none other than the kingdom of Judah from the Bible.

    Unlocking the ancient clay tablets, we uncover a pivotal moment in history. "Hiya" or "haya," meaning "I am and will be" in Hebrew, echoes the divine proclamation to Moses. Could this be the key to unraveling Ahhiyawa's true identity? Join us as we delve into the depths of the past and shed light on the earliest mention of the kingdom of Judah, reshaping our understanding of ancient civilizations.
