What reading level is The Hittites book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Among the Tell-el-Amarna letters there are two, from and to Arzawa, 1 written (in cuneiform like the rest) in a strange non- Semitic language. It is still quite uncertain where Arzawa was, but evidently this is its native language. In 1907 a tablet obtained at Yuzgat near Boghaz-keui was published by Sayce and Pinches, 2 and turned out to be in the same language. Some small fragments of a similar kind were found by Chantre. 3 The discovery of the archives at Boghaz-keui with their native docu- ...ments showed that the language of all these was really Hittite, i. E. The language of the head- quarters of the early Hittite confederacy. Many efforts have been made to elucidate the Arzawa letters. Owing to the use of ideograms and determinatives in cuneiform writing, the occurrence of some Semitic loan-words, and their formal style, it is possible to get some idea of the general sense of them. 4 In trying to go farther, Knudtzon, in his edition with Torp and Bugge, advanced the astonishing theory that the language was Indo-European, but afterwards gave up the view.
