We begin with an overview of the Hittite civilization, an ancient Anatolian empire known for its advancements in ironworking and chariot technology, as well as its rich and complex pantheon of gods and mythical creatures.

Explore the physical attributes of Illuyanka, a massive, serpent-like creature with impenetrable scales and glowing, malevolent eyes. Learn about Illuyanka's family ties, especially its legendary battles with the storm god Tarhun, and uncover its extraordinary powers and abilities that make it a symbol of chaos and destruction.
