		From these data it is possible to derive, with a certain degree of likelihood, that Ahhiyawa was westward area as to Hittite kingdom, in relation with Arzawa and all the lands (Mira, Seha e Wilusa) that stemmed from its later disappearance caused by Murili II.
		Furthermore, it is possible to infer that Ahhiyawa had an easy access to the sea, what should induce to locate it on the islands facing central and south Anatolia, rather than on the mainland.
		Nevertheless, some studies suggest a different solution: Ahhiyawa was a kingdom developed mainly on the islands in eastern Aegean, with some outposts on the Anatolian coasts, characterized by a strong cultural influence from the Mycenaean world.

	Evidence from Hittite Records for the Trojan War
		The evidence of its citadel and lower city is sufficient to suggest the seat of a local ruler of the period; and while the textual evidence points to Wilusa as a land, it would be usual for its capital city to have the same name.
		A long letter from a Hittite king, probably Hattusili III (who ruled circa 1267-1237 B.C.), to the king of Ahhiyawa mentions that Wilusa was once a bone of contention between the two.
		Furthermore, the references to the political interests of Ahhiyawa on the west coast mesh well with increasing archaeological evidence for Mycenaean Greeks in the area, so that it is now widely accepted that "Ahhiyawa" is indeed the Hittite designation for this culture.

		Even bolder is the idea that the 'troianischer Kulturkreis' is the home of the Ahhiyawa, who, in turn, are the Sea Peoples.
		The initial conflicts in Egypt and in the Hittite kingdom so weakened these two 'super-powers,' militarily, that the situation must have been an invitation to the countries of the 'wesanatolischen Allianz' to lead an attack against the East (216).
		One of the puzzles hitherto has been why the so-called Sea Peoples were unable, after their enormous success, to take advantage of Egypt's weakness and why they did not stay longer in Syria.

		Having inherited a position of strength in the east, Mursili was able to turn his attention to the west, where he attacked Arzawa and a city known as Millawanda in the coastal land of Ahhiyawa.
		Many recent scholars have surmised that Millawanda in Ahhiyawa is likely a reference to Miletus and Achaea known to Greek history, though there are a small number who have disputed this connection.

		During the fourteenth century BC the Hittites and Arzawans took part in the international correspondence with the Egyptian pharaohs known as the Amarna Letters.
		However, what little we know of Arzawa and Ahhiyawa is based on Hittite cuneiform records which present a very one-sided view.

	What's the Relationship Between the Epic Poetry of Homer and the Archeology of the Aegean Bronze Age?
		This can be seen in other records as well, most famously through a letter from king Mursili II, a Hittite king, to the king of the Ahhiyawa, talking about an incident in Wilusa in which there seems to have been a confrontation with the people of Ahhiyawa and the locals.
		Many have suggested that Wilusa can be identified with Troy, that Ahhiyawa is Greece (or Thrace), but others have shown considerable caution.
		Admittedly the question of Ahhiyawa is unresolved, but with other Hittite documents placing Wilusa beyond the Seha river, it seems unlikely that it is anywhere other than Troy, meaning that Millawanda should be associated with Miletus as well.

	WI: Mycenaean Greece never fell [Archive] - Alternate History Discussion Board
		There is record of a powerful kingdom to the west of the Hittites called Ahhiyawa which existed between 1380 BC and 1200 BC.
		The King of Ahhiyawa was reckoned a "Great King", equal in standing to the King of the Hittite Empire and the Pharaoh of Egypt.
		Based on the few names of Ahhiyawan cities which have crept into the Hittite records, the kingdom seems to have been centered in mainland Greece, while also holding some territory in southwestern Anatolia, where their major center was the city of Millawanda (later Miletus).

		This may be connected with events referred to in a document known as the Tawagalawas Letter that describes a Hittite campaign in the Lukka lands and the activities there of a certain Piyamaradus.
		Piyamaradus used Millawanda (possibly Miletus) as his base; that city was a dependency of Ahhiyawa, a large and formidable country, the identity and geographic location of which have been the subject of prolonged controversy.
		Some scholars identify the Ahhiyawans with the Achaeans of Homer, or at least with some subdivision of the Mycenaean world, while others place them on Rhodes or on the Anatolian mainland north of Assuwa, identifying the Ahhiyawans as ancestors of the Trojans.
