`Who first started smelting iron, invented the alphabet, and was the third king of the Achaemenid Empire? In this lesson we will learn all of those facts and more!!!!! We will start with the Hittites and learn about the Phoenicians and talk about the Persian wars. Around 2010 BCE the first iron artifacts were made in India. This is interesting because until recently archaeological evidence suggested that the Hittites were the first iron workers. The Hittites first began metal working around 1800 BCE. Then around 1650 the Hittian capital of Hattusa in Turkey was founded. The Hittites worshiped over 1000 deities which means they were polytheistic. The Hittite empire lasted until 1200 BCE. Spaceship Earth at Epcot in Disney World states “Remember how easy it was to learn your ABC’s, thank the Phoenicians.” The Phoenicians invented the alphabet and used murex sea snails for never fading purple. This group of people settled in modern-day Lebanon because there were cedar trees. These cedar trees were used by the Phoenicians to build their ships. The Phoenicians were the leading seafaring traders at the time. Their legacy is the alphabet. The Greco-Persian wars lasted from 492 to 480 BCE. They started after the Ionian Revolt which caused Darius I, the third king of the Achaemenes Empire to launch an attack on the Greek city states. After the Persian wars, the city states made the Delian League.
