Old Testament 'proof': Royal seal discovered

He did not believe that the people that others called Hittites were really Hittites. He said they were Grecian peoples (which they may have been).

If he really said that, he's dead wrong, and ignorant or stupid. One of the eight or nine languages found in the Hattusas ("Hittite" capital) archive of cuneiform tablets turned out to be Indoeuropean (it was cracked by Emil Forrer about 80 years ago); the most common language found in the archive was Arzawan, of which McQueen wrote, "appears to be Lydian", and also isn't Greek (although, obviously, Greek is also on the Indoeuropean language tree).

The Hatti spoke a non-Indoeuropean language (preserved on some of the tablets; cuneiform was adaptable to pretty much any spoken language) and were living under foreign rule during the heyday of Hattusas, a capital perhaps built by the invaders; the invaders also left the archive.

That is the guy. He didn't dispute that there was a civilization on the Antatolyian plains, but that they were the Biblical Hittites.
