Luwian-Aramean states

Okay kiddo, so a long time ago, there were these groups of people called the Luwians and the Arameans. They lived in different areas and had their own kingdoms or states, kind of like how there are different countries today.

The Luwians lived in an area that is now part of modern-day Turkey, and they had a few different states within their group. They were known for their skills in things like metalworking, religion, and writing. They even had their own language that they wrote using special symbols!

The Arameans, on the other hand, lived in an area that is now part of modern-day Syria and surrounding countries. They were known for their trade and commerce skills and also had their own language. They even had their own alphabet that they used to write!

Now, sometimes these groups would come into contact with each other and sometimes they would even form alliances or go to war with each other. But even with all their differences, they were each able to create their own unique ways of life and leave a lasting impact on history.
