Opis

This is a study of the development of Egyptian foreign policy, in particular the struggle for Syria among the regional great powers of the day, Egypt, Mitanni and Hatte, largely based on the Armana letters and the Hittite archival material discovered by archaeology over the last century. The study also discusses the connections that can be developed from the data, relating to Egyptian political history. A survey of the archaeology of Western Asian in the Amarna age from J.B. Hennessey is included, as well as a number of translations of relevant Hittite and Akkadian documents.
