HITTITE and INDO-EUROPEAN
(with a comparison to Baltic on the basis of Latvian)

The Latvian language (together with Lithuanian) represents the oldest still spoken Indo-European tongue. WHO were the Latvians and just how old is Latvian? Research indicates that it has retained a form which is far older than anyone could possibly initially imagine. Evidence for this is found in Hieroglyphic Hittite

Scholars write "Luwian" for Hieroglyphic Hittite,
but in our view the correct transcription of Lu(t)-wian is Lutwian, i.e. Latvian.
Lu(t)wian Hittite is the most ancient acknowledged
written Indo-European language - dated back to 1500.B.C.

Let us compare the extinct Hittite case forms
of the word for "water" with still-existing Latvian case forms for "water":

The two are as good as IDENTICAL. Lu(t)wian was Latvian.

Yet, incredibly, Kronasser never mentions Latvian in his so-called "etymological" book. This linguistic blindness is rampant throughout the mainstream linguistic community.

Based on the similarity of signs, Hittite Pictographic Writing has the Same Origin as the Hieroglyphs of Pharaonic Egypt and the Symbols used in Sumer.

Many of the symbols are similar in form and phonetics.

Biblical and Other References to the Hittites

The Encyclopaedia Britannica, under "Turkey",
gives us the state-of-the art view of the historians and archaeologists
(p.902, Macropaedia, 1974 edition):

"About 2300 B.C. a great wave
of Indo-European invaders, speaking a Luwian dialect,
seems to have spread over Anatolia from the West,
occupying practically the whole southwestern part
of the peninsula."

Hieroglyphic Hittite, on the other hand, is inexplicably regarded by scholars
to have come to Turkey in 1700.B.C. - a full 600 years later,
which makes no sense at all as far as chronology goes.

The Luwian Hittites were clearly Indo-Europeans from long before that era.
