SUMMARY:Tenth Annual Leon Levy Lecture: A People Without a Name or\, Who Were the Hittites?
DTSTART:20161103T220000Z
DTEND:20161104T000000Z
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: the Leon Levy Lecture is now fully booked\; w
 e are no longer accepting RSVPs or names for the wait list. Whereas th
 e civilizations of the Assyrians and Babylonians in Mesopotamia and th
 at of Egypt never faded from memory\, knowledge of the Hittites was al
 most fully erased after the collapse of their kingdom around 1200 BC. 
 In the now one-hundred-year-old resurrection of Hittite culture and so
 ciety that followed the decipherment of the Hittite language in 1915\,
  they were largely cast in the image of Mesopotamian civilization\, es
 pecially where Hittite sources remain less eloquent or even silent. Bu
 t is this always justified? Are we at liberty to assume entire text ge
 nres and social systems just because others had them? What would Hitti
 te society look like without them?
