Narrated by Academy Award winner Jeremy Irons, this documentary presents the dramatic story of the Hittites. Using expert interviews, stunning cinematography, and dramatic reenactments (including a breathtaking recreation of the controversial battle of Kadesh that decimated the armies of Egypt's Pharaoh Ramses II), director Tolga Örnek brings this rich history to life. The production spanned two years and more than one hundred days of principal photography in locations across Egypt, Syria and Turkey. The film features detailed reconstructions of historically accurate props and sets, including a miniature scale model of the ancient capital city, full-scale working battle chariots, replicas of period statuary, pottery, armor, costumes and weaponry.
