The Hittites Empire stretched from Mesopotamia to Syria and Palestine. Their invasion spelled the end of the Old Babylonian empire in Mesopotamia. The Hittite civilization dominated Mesopotamia from 1600 BC to 1200 BC.

Their civilization ended abrupted just as it had started. Hittite cities and territories thrived independently until they were finally conquered most likely by the Assyrians.(770 BC +/- for the rump kingdoms. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
