The Lords of Hattusa 1/6

'Hattusa' (URU''Ḫa-at-tu-ša'' ; ''Ḫattuša'') was the capital of the Hittite Empire. The site is located near the modern-day town and district center of Boğazkale (), formerly named Boğazköy, in Çorum Province in north-east Central Anatolia, Turkey, at a distance of 90 km from the province seat of Çorum. The region is set in a loop of the Kızıl River (''Marashantiya'' in Hittite sources and Halys in Classical Antiquity) in central Anatolia, about 200 km (125 miles) east of Ankara.
Hattusa was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list in 1986.

Can someone explain why they call them the Hittites, if they were completely different than the Hittites of the bible?

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.
