The Hittites were a people descended from Heth. Heth was Ham’s son, and Ham was Noah’s son. They were not as artistically innovative as Greece was, but they made up for it with their army, which so skilled that they even took over most of Mesopotamia for a while. Assyria started out with limited power because they were being controlled by Babylon. But eventually they rose up to stand on their own. They were brutal in battle, and are responsible for a lot of the destruction that happened in Judah, (although Babylon was what eventually ended up decimating Judah when they brought all of their people into exile and destroyed the temple.) The Assyrians were eventually destroyed by a Chaldean-Median army in 612-609 B.C

The only weakness I see in ancient Greece is its morals, or lack thereof. It is probably what eventually brought them to their downfall. Other than that, Greece seemed to be the perfect empire, but fell short in what is the most important area.

Mystery: Did Jesus teach in Greek?

Mystery: Did Jesus teach in Greek?

Well he obviously was fluent in Greek and Aramaic, and most likely Hebrew. whether or not he spoke in Greek I imagine depends upon geographically WHERE he was teaching.
