The first advantage the Hittites had was their home turf. They lived in the highlands of central Anatolia, which is modern-day Turkey, and they knew every nook and cranny of that rugged terrain. It's like they say, "home is where the heart is," and for the Hittites, home was where the military might was.
Their opponents, on the other hand, were like tourists trying to navigate a unfamiliar city without Google Maps. The Hittites would lure them into the mountains, where the terrain was treacherous and the Hittites could pick them off one by one. Talk about a strategic advantage!
