The book narrates the rediscovery of the Hittite civilization, an empire of ancient Anatolia that went from being a biblical mention to occupying a place alongside Babylon and Egypt. Ceram follows the work of archaeologists and linguists until deciphering the hieroglyphic inscriptions, with episodes such as the Battle of Kadesh and the first known political treaty.
