The Aramaean and Hittite peoples lived comparatively peacefully, co-existing with other states in the region, such as Carchemish.

However, the Hittite people tended to settle in the older lands of south Anatolia rather than the lands of the Aegean.

From the Hurrian cult centre at Kummanni in Kizzuwatna Hurrian religion spread to the Hittite people.

I seized for myself the city of Ana-Assur-utir-asbat, which lies on the other side of the Euphrates, on the Sagur river, which the Hittite people called Pitru.

The remnants of Bronze Age civilizations such as the Hattian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Hittite peoples provide us with many examples of the daily lives of its citizens and their trade.

The Kings took on a divine role in Hittite society and the Hittite peoples, often allied with neighbours such as the Kizzuwatna began to expand again, moving into Western Anatolia, absorbing the Luwian state of Arzawa and the Assuwa League.
