The Hittites
The Hittites were the most significant peoples of Mesopotamia history. They were the most signifigant because they were the biggest and because they were primarily in the business of commerce. They traded with everyone in the meditterranean. They are believed to be the ones who spread the ideas coming out of mesopotamia. The Hittites edited the law left to them by the Old Babylonians. This is the most extensive piece of work from them.
