The text will refer to Velikovsky’s hypothesis which he detailed in Ages in Chaos.1 Part of his proposal was based on interpretations of the texts on the cuneiform tablets found in the State Archive of Akhnaton, which will be partly referred to hereafter. The main item of this hypothesis was the repositioning of this pharao at some time in the 9th century BCE, corresponding with the reigns of kings in neighbouring countries. As mentioned earlier, Velikovsky’s hypothesis will be followed in order to study all the foreign relations in a wide area. Akhnaton’s reign being positioned on the Timetable, the text will start with his grandfather Thutmosis IV. Thutmosis IV reigned only briefly, from about 907 to 898 BCE in the reconstructed timescheme, but he acquired Egyptian hegemony over Canaan and Syria with fast and powerful campaigns. The Egyptian hegemony was firmly anchored by appointing governors in the various countries and encamping troop contingents in strategic places. But Egypt’s control on these areas lessened considerably during Akhnaten’s reign. The various countries in Canaan and Syria could no longer rely on Egyptian military support at the breakout of severe hostilities. The internal tensions within Egypt should be seen as the cause of this development. The el-Amarna state archives included an exchange of letters between some Egyptian pharaoh’s from the 18th Dynasty, Amenhotep III and his son Ahknaten, and some vassal kings in the Levant, including Aram (Syria). Kings of major countries in Mesopotamia and further north started their letters with the phrase "To my brother", indicating they felt to be regarded as equal to the Egyptian Pharaoh. Those writing from Canaan wrote their letters starting with the phrase "To my king, my lord", as they still were vassals. One of the most active writers was the king of Sumur with a number of about 60 letters. The cities of Sumur and Gubla were most frequently referred to in all these letters. They were apparently quite important, as they played a prominant role in that neighbouring northern country. The name of the king of Sumur referred to was Rib-Addi. Velikovsky identified this king as Ahab, king of Israel, whose name, read in Hebrew, meant "the older brother / son, father," which is also the meaning of the name Rib-Addi, read as an ideogram. Following is a brief overview of the type and nature of this correspondence, which contained quite some attention to the dangerous situation of Sumur. This city should be identified as Samaria. It was threatened by Aram without much hope for relief. Samaria was founded by Omri, king of Israel in the period 885-874 BCE. The el-Amarna letters should therefore be dated to the later reign of Omri, eg. after 880 BCE. The texts all refer to Velikovsky's Ages in Chaos. It is probably to the governor of Samaria, meanwhile returned to the court in Egypt, to whom Rib-Addi wrote 1 Immanuel Velikovsky, Ages in Chaos, Doubleday & Co, New York, 1952. 4 letters in which the following texts: "You know my my attitude: while you were in Sumura, that I was your faithful servant" "Have you not said to your Lord that he sends you at the head of the archers?" ''I come to you’, you wrote to me. Hear me. Say to the king to give to you three hundred men." The name of this governor, accredited to Sumur, was Aman-appa as evidenced by the letter of Rib-Addi to the Egyptian pharaoh. "Verily, Aman-appa is with you. Ask him. He knows that and has seen the distress which oppresses me". This person was governor of the city of Samaria during Ahab´s reign with the name of Amon, as mentioned in Chronicles II 18:25. But Aman-appa appeared to be an old man who had died in Egypt, as shown by the following letters: To Aman-appa: “Might it be so that you are dead, I will die too.” To the king: "There is hostility against Sumur. And in truth, her governor is dead now." Rib-Addi found himself at some point in a precarious position because his armed forces apparently could not withstand enemy attacks of his neighbour, Abdi-Asjirta, king of Amuruland (Aram), with capital Dumaska (Damascus). That king should then be identified as Benhadad II in this revised chronology. The following letters refer to this king: "What is Abdi-Asjirta, the servant, the dog, that he can take possession of the king’s land? What is his family? " "All chiefs are with Abdi-Asjirta" To an Egyptian dignitary: "Why have you been silent and not told the king that he should send archers, that they might take Sumura? What is Abdi-Asjirta, the servant, the dog, that he is to take the land from the king for himself? ……send fifty horses and two hundred foot soldiers to me ... .upto the departure of the archers ... " Later: "I have written to the palace, ’Send archers’. Did they not reconquer the land for the king in the past? " The wishes of Rib-Addi were apparently heard: "When Abdi-Asjirta conquered Sumuri, I protected the city by my own hand. I had no garrison. But I wrote to the king, my Lord, and soldiers came and they took Sumuri. " There are many letters of the same tenor, showing that also later on the next king of Damascus pressed hard on Israel. That next king was Aziru, who came to power in Aram after killing his father Abdi-Asjirta. Aziru should be synonymous with Hazael, who is known to have killed his father Benhadad in order to acquire the throne of Aram. Rib-Addi also reported on that subject: "Abdi-Asjirta is very sick, who knows whether he will not die?" en: "They have indeed killed Abdi-Asjirta, whom the king had placed over them. " And several letters later: "Aziru has taken all my cities, Gubla in her solitude is left to me..

    Vyriešenie achchijavského problému. Nový pohľad na dejiny Sýropalestíny a Anatólie, v dobe bronzovej. Fenomén Porteurs de Torques. Exkurz: Protoindoeurópska problematika & archeogenetika. Pozn. 447 (Prepracované a doplnené vydanie. Aktualizované 09/2021). Od čias A. Goetza a E. Forrera (1924), sa mnohí bádatelia snažili lokalizovať Achchijavu, staroveké kráľovstvo, známe výhradne z chetitských textov. Hľadali ju okrem iného, aj na egejských ostrovoch, najčastejšie na ostrove Rhodos, ale aj na západe Malej Ázie, či dokonca v Kilíkii. V súčasnosti prevláda konsenzus, že Achchijava bola totožná s mykénskym Gréckom.1 Zároveň je vyvíjaná výrazná snaha, spojiť achchijavský problém, s trójskou otázkou (Alaksandu z Viluše = Alexandros z Tróje). Z českých vedcov sa touto problematikou už pred časom zaoberali F. Stiebitz (1926), B. Hrozný (1929, 1943) a A. Bartoněk (1969, 1963; tam i odkazy na staršiu literatúru). V tejto štúdii, na základe faktov dokazujem, že Achchijava sa nachádzala v Sýropalestíne. I. Všeobecné fakty. 1., Celá Forrerova hypotéza,2 následne rozpracovaná ďalšími bádateľmi, je založená len na zdanlivej podobnosti, medzi názvami krajín a miest, ktoré sú známe z chetitských textov týkajúcich sa Achchijavy a klasickými geografickými názvami v západnej Anatólii a priľahlej egejskej oblasti: Lukká – Lýkia, Karkiša - Kária, Lazpaš - Lesbos, Truwisa, Taruiša - Trója, Viluša, Wilušiya – Ílion, Millavanda, Milawata – Milétos, Apasa – Efezos, Valivanda – Alabanda, Íjalanda - Álinda. Zároveň táto hypotéza vychádza z mylného predpokladu, že krajina Achchiya /AhT 3/ = Achchijava (minimálne z etymologického hľadiska). Takisto je založená aj na určitej podobnosti osobných mien z chetitských textov, s menami známymi z gréckej mytológie (Alaksandu - Alexandros, Attarissiya - Átreus, Tawagalawa – Eteoklés, Pijamaraduš – Priamos). Na fakt, že Achchijava sa nemôže spájať s gréckymi Achájcami a tým pádom i s mykénskym Gréckom, upozornili už J.

PhD candidate at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Representative of the Association for Students of Egyptology (ASE). Recebido em 30 de setembro de 2016 ORCID: 0000-0003-1193-1321 Aceito em 04 de maio de 2018 Abstract The aim of this paper is to provide an introduction to the study of diplomatic relations in the Ancient Near East, more specifically during the so-called Amarna Age. A field so commonly dismissed among scholars of International Relations, ancient diplomacy can be a fertile ground to understand the birth of pre-modern political contacts and extra-societal issues. In order to explore this topic, I will make use of the Amarna Letters, a collection of tablets, found in the modern city of Tell el-Amarna, that represents one of the first complex diplomatic systems in the world (a system that is subsequent to the Ages of Ebla and Mari). I will also discuss the context of the relationships established and the affairs between the kingdoms of Egypt and Mitanni, using as a case study to demonstrate how the rhetoric and the political arguments were present – and fundamental – to the understanding of diplomacy in Antiquity. Keywords: Amarna Letters, Mitanni, Egypt, Near East Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar uma introdução ao estudo das relações diplomáticas no antigo Oriente Próximo, mais especificamente durante a chamada Era de Amarna.

  • Tayinat's Building XVI: the Religious Dimensions and Significance of A
    Tayinat’s Building XVI: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua by Douglas Neal Petrovich A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto © Copyright by Douglas Neal Petrovich, 2016 Building XVI at Tell Tayinat: The Religious Dimensions and Significance of a Tripartite Temple at Neo-Assyrian Kunulua Douglas N. Petrovich Doctor of Philosophy Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations University of Toronto 2016 Abstract After the collapse of the Hittite Empire and most of the power structures in the Levant at the end of the Late Bronze Age, new kingdoms and powerful city-states arose to fill the vacuum over the course of the Iron Age. One new player that surfaced on the regional scene was the Kingdom of Palistin, which was centered at Kunulua, the ancient capital that has been identified positively with the site of Tell Tayinat in the Amuq Valley. The archaeological and epigraphical evidence that has surfaced in recent years has revealed that Palistin was a formidable kingdom, with numerous cities and territories having been enveloped within its orb. Kunulua and its kingdom eventually fell prey to the Neo-Assyrian Empire, which decimated the capital in 738 BC under Tiglath-pileser III. After Kunulua was rebuilt under Neo- Assyrian control, the city served as a provincial capital under Neo-Assyrian administration. Excavations of the 1930s uncovered a palatial district atop the tell, including a temple (Building II) that was adjacent to the main bit hilani palace of the king (Building I).

  • Hanigalbat and the Land Hani
    Arnhem (nl) 2015 – 3 Anatolia in the bronze age. © Joost Blasweiler student Leiden University - [email protected] Hanigal9bat and the land Hana. From the annals of Hattusili I we know that in his 3rd year the Hurrian enemy attacked his kingdom. Thanks to the text of Hattusili I (“ruler of Kussara and (who) reign the city of Hattusa”) we can be certain that c. 60 years after the abandonment of the city of Kanesh, Hurrian armies extensively entered the kingdom of Hatti. Remarkable is that Hattusili mentioned that it was not a king or a kingdom who had attacked, but had used an expression “the Hurrian enemy”. Which might point that formerly attacks, raids or wars with Hurrians armies were known by Hattusili king of Kussara. And therefore the threatening expression had arisen in Hittite: “the Hurrian enemy”. Translation of Gary Beckman 2008, The Ancient Near East, editor Mark W. Chavalas, 220. The cuneiform texts of the annal are bilingual: Babylonian and Nesili (Hittite). Note: 16. Babylonian text: ‘the enemy from Ḫanikalbat entered my land’. The Babylonian text of the bilingual is more specific: “the enemy of Ḫanigal9 bat”. Therefore the scholar N.B. Jankowska1 thought that apparently the Hurrian kingdom Hanigalbat had existed probably from an earlier date before the reign of Hattusili i.e. before c. 1650 BC. Normally with the term Mittani one is pointing to the mighty Hurrian kingdom of the 15th century BC 2. Ignace J. Gelb reported 3 on “the dragomans of the Habigalbatian soldiers/workers” in an Old Babylonian tablet of Amisaduqa, who was a contemporary with Hattusili I.

  • Shaushka, the Traveling Goddess Graciela GESTOSO SINGER
    Shaushka, the Traveling Goddess Graciela GESTOSO SINGER Traveling gods and goddesses between courts was a well-known motif in the ancient Near East. Statues of gods and goddesses served as symbols of life, fertility, healing, prosperity, change, alliances and sometimes represented the “geographical” integration or the “ideological” legitimization of a territory. The Amarna Letters reveal the jour- ney of the goddess Shaushka to the Egyptian court of Amenhotep III. Akkadian, Hurrian, Hittite, and Ugaritic texts reveal the role played by this goddess in local pantheons, as well as in various foreign courts during the second millennium BCE. She was known as the goddess of war, fertility and healing and statues of the goddess were used in rituals performed before military actions, to heal diseases, to bless marriage alliances and assist births. This pa- per analyses the role of this traveling goddess in the Egyptian court of Amenhotep III. El viaje de estatuas de dioses y diosas entre cortes de grandes reyes fue un recurso conocido en el Cercano Oriente antiguo. En la Antigüedad, las estatuas de ciertos dioses y diosas fueron símbolos de vida, fertilidad, curación, prosperidad, cambio, alianzas y, en algunos casos, representaron la integración “geográfica” o la legiti- mación “ideológica” de un territorio. Las Cartas de El Amarna revelan el viaje de la estatua de la diosa Shaushka hacia la corte egipcia durante el reinado de Amenhotep III. Textos acadios, hurritas, hititas y ugaríticos indican el rol cumplido por esta diosa en panteones locales, así como en diversas cortes extranjeras durante el II milenio a.e. Fue reconocida como la diosa de la guerra, fertilidad y curación.

Jacques VANDIER membre de l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres Mes Chers Confrères, J'ai le triste honneur d'évoquer devant vous le souvenir de notre confrère Pierre Montet, décédé dans la nuit du 17 au 18 juin 1966. Je le connaissais depuis plus de trente ans ; si je n'ai pas été directement son élève, je l'ai toujours considéré comme un de mes maîtres ; je lui dois beaucoup, et ce n'est pas sans une grande émotion que je prends la parole aujourd'hui. Pierre Montet était né dans le département du Rhône, à Villefranche-sur- Saône, le 27 juin 1885. Il allait donc entrer dans sa quatre-vingt-deuxième année. Il fit ses études secondaires dans sa ville natale, puis fit, après son baccalauréat, une khâgne au Lycée de Lyon, où il eut pour professeur Édouard Herriot. Ce fut en 1905, après sa licence ès lettres, qu'il décida de se consacrer à l'égyptologie, sous Si vous possédez des renseignements supplémentaires sur ce Légionnaire, merci de bien vouloir nous les transmettre à : [email protected] nous mettrons à jour sa biographie.
