Very good program, immensely enjoyable, (spoiler alert) but I think it should be said that Jørgen Alexander Knudtzon was the first to recognize that Hittite was an IE language. Unfortunately, he could not prove his claim, and it fell to Bedřich Hrozný to prove that Hittite was IE. I wish they could have included that fact but oh well, no show is perfect. Still every cool.
Can someone explain why they call them the Hittites, if they were completely different than the Hittites of the bible?
