Tree rings reveal drought that might have doomed the Hittites

Did a three year drought help cause the end of the Hittites around 3000 years ago? I found this a useful commentary. TL;DR maybe, but there was also a megadrought. nature.com/articles/d41586-023
And yes, we should expect more and more severe megadroughts with climate change.

My next novel is due for its pre-order on Jan 17, so I'm sitting here editing like the wind. I'm sure I can make it, but why do no two Hittite dictionaries quite agree on any words?
