  • Humans are just EVIL where the strong survive. It is just human nature.

  • I have evidence to support these findings are actually 5000 years old... this can only mean one thing....

  • hattusha/ Hittites?!

  • energy is everything, lack of LOVE energy= collapse

  • Inflation of the economy, anarchy, overpopulation, too many factors that could cause an all powerful nation to suddenly collapse.

    The Hittites were succeeded by the Assyrians and Persians so my best guess is they just assimilated.

  • They are speaking about the Arameans

  • live by the sword, die by the sword ;)

  • can you think of any other way you would want to die?

  • red indian in the U.S.A moved all the time to take the kuffars, thats why the red indian on there hand ahad the name allah. they had forgot about those place's to come back because as they moved all the time they had seen the world and greater place's

  • Comment removed

  • @seyeeyes Look dude. If you are going to write in english you must learn english. Your comment makes as much sense as a frogs fart.

  • so what happen next thats it.

  • the hittites?

  • Yeah...  ...AND?

  • my guess is that they were attacked by steppe nomads over a series of years.

  • This Confuses me, my mother is from the Mongols & moguls emperor family, and my fathers side from Aryan Warriors, what does that make me? and there is so much missing in our history like this civilization, its crazy.

  • wtf?

  • What a teaser.

  • I had to go to Wikipedia and look up "Babylon 1595 BC" so I could find out what empire they're talking about that conquered them. It was the Hittites, but not the ones from the bible. These Hittites had their empire fall apart in 1180 BC after they were invaded and conquered. 3 centuries later, some of the remnants of this empire are the Biblical Hittites. Interesting.

  • my favorite warrior civilization were the mongols, they kicked ass anywhere they went, and had the biggest empire the world has ever seen.

  • YYYAAAAYYY THE HITTITES!!!!!!

    from a hittitologist, this is good to see.

    ; )

  • I hate that people see races as groups, were all people, if my grandfather gets killed by yours can I kill you? no

  • well u Can...and u would want to...

  • Lol..I know this post is 2m old but.. that's not exactly true... I'm irish and you don't see me hating Brit's for Olivier Cromwell. It's the past.. none of the ppl alive today are to blame for actions they didn't do themselves..

  • Let him/her speak for him/herself.

  • lol lets hope they do vanish o ya weeee

  • wow, that is intense, they completely vanished huh? I wonder what caused them to do so... hopefully we find out so we dont do it again!

  • Yes, it would be terrible if Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Ashton Kutcher and Carrot Top were to vanish without a trace.

  • hahahaha! Extremely terrible! i almost hyperventalated reading this lol

  • NationalGeographic FTW

    i think i already saw this on tv...

  • aliens came and killed them. specifically predators

  • It was assimilated.

  • I don't know, how could it vanish? You didn't post the video. You only posted the intro.

  • they got owned by another civi

  • it was an emo civilization. lol, thats how!

  • Why do the American channels have to overly hollywood up history documentaries? We're not all dumb morons who need pretty movies instead of basic clear and succinct detailed facts when we want to learn about the ancient world.

    This trailer does not give me confidence. Give me the BBC any day.

  • no kidding, how much did they spind on these recreations? less cinema more science.

    im interested, and love NG. ill watch this for sure. sometimes you need to spread 15 minutes worth of information over 2 hours to sell airtime i guess.

  • Perhaps, but that's a very sad statement. That human knowledge and education excellence must be a poor second to a corporations base quest to make money. But then that is the US system, where advertising dollars rule everything, including what passes for "news" in the country. Funny how "liberal media" is all about money.

    BBC is far superior. And no, I'm not a brit.

  • I fully agreee with you. its like going to 3 hour concert to see one band and the band that was advertised to play plays for the last 30 minutes. lol

  • "We're not all dumb morons who need pretty movies"

    There is worse out there though...

    lol

  • "There is worse out there though...

    lol"

    Very true, it could be the fox news version, where the civilization died out because they all became liberals and embraced abortion, taxes and not making needless war.

  • And you're talking about better quality documentaries ? You sounded like a Sun Reader just there.

    lol..

  • thatstodayhmm?

  • Hitites lost against Ramses II, woot

  • The Battle of Kadesh, if that's what you're referring to, was actually indecisive, both sides claiming victory.

  • history nerds: 1

    average man: 0

    DAMN YOU HISTORY NERDS!!!

  • LOL.

  • Both sides claimed victory but for thousand of years Ramses convinced everyone HE won.

  • only one part?? where are the others??

  • Hitit (Hitites) is the name of that empire, Hattusa is the name of the city, which is located in Corum, Turkey. And they didnt vanish they just dissolved with other tribes rushing to Asia Minor (Anatolia). There was 27 ancient cilizations lived in that geography, including Lydians, Lycians, Hitites, Greeks, Urartians and many more.

  • thats pathetic

  • i know, i'm a victim to chain comments

  • i think hattusa was the name of the empire. wikipedia doesn't mention their violence...

  • hey dude. dnt trust wikipedia. hella ppl put BS up there so use a better site lik brittannica

  • this particular empire may have vanished... but the "act" or what they used to do still exists. people are still greedy for lands and power... sad thing.

  • haha I don't agree with the use of the word gay, but I agree with what your saying

  • It's a jungle out there. Civilizations fail because they make the people and aristocracy soft and weak; then a stronger, hungrier group takes over. Right now the USA is getting very fat and lazy, but it's not clear who will inherit our mantle at the moment. The Chinese? Russians? The European Union? Africa (ha ha)? Maybe even the Arabs and their crazy religion. The only thing that is clear is that we are going down.

  • Wait the TURKS

  • @mightisright The USA cant be compared to an empire like England or Rome. The USA is 230 years old without an empire.  The USA doesn't even have a unifying culture to export. In another 500 years the USA will be a blip compared to 1000 year empires that changed the world.

  • @mightisright The invention of Nuclear weapons destroys your theory. If you have nukes before your country ever goes down you destroy an entire continent, or maybe even the whole world. The Arabs can't do anything because they don't have that technology but Canada, USA, Russia, Japan, China, anywhere with nukes is off bounds.

  • @mightisright damn right you are Russia is getting powerful fast

  • @mightisright nobody, the world ends in just under 1.5 years :P

  • Anybody know the name of this vanished empire?

    The walled city reminded me of the Trojans.. pretty cool.

  • I agree.

    As long as the others are supported as well.

    We are all the same color beneath the skin.

  • fuck you

  • support the modern day bandits.

  • ???? wtf you talkin about

  • i'm talking about the people who waged war and stole the lands and resources of other people, the people hypnotized with a leader who has been diagnosed as insane. I'm talking about the puppets of tf George Bush.

  • lol so why you reply to me aboutthis i have nothing to do with bush

  • i thought you were asking a question about what i have just posted. I just clarified what i was talking about when i mentioned about the modern day bandits.

  • lmaoo oh no i was talkin to the fuy talkin about white power lol i told him to fuck himself

  • white has no color

  • Your kidding right? Read a book! I challange you to support the white race by not being ignorant. Then to stop thinking about narrow minded problems like race... really, there are much bigger problems out there to tackle.

  • Yeah but as long as there are people like lands33, there will always be the word "race" and as long as that word stays in people's minds, there will always be war, and as long as there is war, people like lands33 will still be here.

  • I think they were just a bunch of bandits who happened to be lucky, until they realized they were not smart enough to hold an empire. History is sometimes exagerated to make a good story for bullshit believers. After all, it's easy to believe what you badly want to believe!

  • That is how most empire are created. By nomads or bandits.

  • Congratulations you just described every empire throughout history. Just as Rome under Julius Caezar the USA shall fall one day also, and from within. So dictates history.

  • you do relize its assholes like you that make people hate the united states right? other countries have existed before the us and the world will not end when we are gone

  • You do realize that I could give a fuck??!!?? These people hate the US becaseu tehy are shadowed by the US and her policies. People dont have to like the US Id prefer they didnt personally they are the truly lazy uneducated and and ambitionless. perhaps that sounds arrogant but these people have always hated us becasue we dont do enough for them in their eyes. I am American I owe hispanics blacks native americans muslims etc nothing. I look forward to paying MY BILLS not theirs!!

  • only thing you need to do is go back to europe and the rest can go back to where they are from

  • Sorry, I'm an Australian, and while you're entitled to your beliefs, there is one point in your argument that doesn't make sense? You owe blacks nothing? Your people brought them to your country in chains, of course you owe them something. And by the way, MY country is the best!!!

  • No, they didn't bring them to their country, they weren't even born then.

  • hispanics and muslims i can agree with that but native americans and black?! we came to the americas and stole the land from native americans and even tried to killed them off and we brought black slaves here, we do owe them something but there are those that abuse the system and try to get more, instead of paying their bills we should do something else, what that is i dont know

  • How do we owe the blacks anything? it was the blacks in Africa that SOLD THEM if they're looking for handouts, they should look up the desendants of the ones who sold them in the first place.

  • we encouraged it though

  • Your right because no one has the BALL'S to stand up and say enough is enough.

    FUCK POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

  • Amen to that.

  • What an overused word.

  • Oh my god HOW WORLD WILL TURN WITHOUT AMERICANS... Bless them. FUCK THEM...

  • um alot better. the us makes slaves of men and whores of women.

  • War inna babylon

  • I love learning about things like this! Just imagine the secrets the world today has absolutely no clue about!

  • it just one of natural rules

    nature destroy the human beings

  • I don't understand why wasn't continued? By year and area, must be the Hitattes, a Thracian people from Balkans, but they didn't vanished suddently. Like present americans, are vanishing into a mass of mudds

  • You're just showing your ignorance of biology when you make a statement like that, erik1933. It has been irrefutably shown that genetic diversity, not inbreeding, is what makes a species stronger. What you call "vanishing into a mass of mudds" shows that you base your opinions on the pseudoscience fallacy of white supremacy. I hope that others reading this will do the research to discover the ignorance in your words.

  • although i dont disagree with what you say exotiqueen, i dont think that has anything to do with what erik is saying. maybe i am wrong i dunno.

  • XIPM3, have you ever heard a statement like this used in another context other than an argument for "racial purity"? ("Like present americans, are vanishing into a mass of mudds"). If you have I'd like to know what you think he means instead. Thanks.

  • with a name like that, i'd expect you to be one of those web cam girls.

  • what if i am? does that make my opinion less reasonable, or are you just afraid of the logic a girl can bring to it?

  • if i was afraid, i wouldnt admit the possiblity of error on my part in my original post.

  • that is whats called an ad hominem argument, a horrible one at that since you know nothing about the person you attacked except for a screen name

  • tell me something, what do you expect someone's idealolies to be if they had a name like oh lets say... NaziPride88 or something like that. who knows maybe its just some average joe picking a random name. i dont fucking think so. exotiqueen alludes to sexuality. i dont have to know her. besides, she does not even deny it (or endorse it) which leaves doors open. get a clue.

  • I dont care if their name is god, that is a separate issue. You dont argue with somebody by attacking them, argue with the facts. that is like a criminal saying the sky is above, and you saying the criminal is a bad person, therefore the sky is not above us. Illogical

  • that would be the case if we had even been arguing.

  • the hittites were not at all thracian. get your facts straight.

  • hatusha

  • Judging from the helmets, I would say its the Thracian's, known for using the Fauxblade?

  • quiet interesting...

  • good thing they vanished right?...scary...

  • yeah. eeeek, i'm scared...

  • bahahaha did you see all those blood spurts? "national graphic"

    d(-_-)b

  • GERMANS

  • hahahahah

  • awesome!

  • nice

  • where can i watch the full episode?

  • the national geographic channel (TV, not YT)

  • Unfortunately only on their TV channel. I don't have that channel, so watching these "teasers" can be very frustrating.

  • damn i wanna the the full episode too if you find it tell me

  • tlk about giving zero information in the advert ... We don't even know what civilization this one is for.

    I expect at least the name from N-G.

  • dark warriors of petushia?

    ....

  • Hattusa. It's about the Hittites.

  • The hittites originated from Central Anatolia which occupied much of the modern Turkey.

  • The Civilization I belive is Assyria

  • see .. no-one knows what is being adverted from watching the advert.

    One is left wondering if the program will be similarly confusing.

  • bush went back in time and wiped them out to get more oil =P

  • Did Son of a BUSH think that sticks and rocks were weapons of mass destruction?

  • No he said something about "research involving shoelaces to develop slingshots" or something like that.

  • bush went back in time and wiped them out =P

  • Brilliant

  • Wish they wold play the whole episode later so we can see it if we don't get the NG channel!

  • Its actually just a simplification. Anthropologists find a civ which was in war with other civs. Then shallow media takes this info and leaves out that there was als another civ and that the civ existed also in peace. Its still wrong.

  • U took my exact thoughts out of my brain

  • Warrior civilizations don't exist. All civs have war but each one also have peace. No serious scientific publisher claims that a civilization is a warrior civilization by nature. Its wrong to call a civilization that. It shows both ignorance about its peaceful culture, also contaminates the culture with own values of power and physical strength. We don't need to this video.

  • Woah this is interesting o.O

  • THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA

  • Weird...

  • I don't know you like that
