  Mitanni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the thirteenth century BC Assyria defeated and annexed the kingdom of Mitanni, or Hanigalbat as it was known by them.
As early as Akkadian times, Hurrians are known to have lived east of the river Tigris on the northern rim of Mesopotamia, and in the Khabur valley.
In the inscriptions of Adad-nirari II, Assurbanipal II and Shalmaneser III, Hanigalbat is still used as a geographical term, probably as a conscious archaism.

 Rohl's fallacious chronology
The land of Hanigalbat (..) had long been the object of dispute between Hatti and Assyria.
Hanigalbat had aided Muwatallis at Qadesh, and doubtless suffered its share of losses.
So now, when Hatti and Hanigalbat were least expecting it, the Assyrian swept westward, overcoming king Wasashatta and adding Hanigalbat to the Assyrian domains...

 Tell Sabi Abyad - Archaeology in Syria - Research
The kingdom of Hanigalbat was in the steppes of northeastern Syria.
For centuries the kings of Hanigalbat played off the superpowers in the region against each other: the Hittites in the northwest and the Assyrians in the east.
The numerous cuneiform texts in the fortress clearly show that it was part of the private estate of one of the most powerful men in Assyria: grand vizier Ili-ippada.

Shattuara II of Hanigalbat, leading the rebellion with the aid of the Hittites, blockaded the mountain passes and waterholes.
With a desperation born of thirst, the Assyrians pounded the Mitanni kingdom into submission.
His inscriptions mention the utter devastation of nine fortified temples, 180 Hurrian cities, and the Hittite and Ahlamu armies.

Shattuara II of Hanigalbat, however, put him into a difficult situation, cutting his forces off from their water supplies.
With courage born of despair, the Assyrians fought themselves free.
The king claimed to have blinded 14,400 enemies in one eye [psychological warfare of a similar kind was used more and more as time went by].

 "Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
This, of course, is the kingdom of Hanigalbat, or Mitanni.
Another question which is debated among scholars is whether or not to equate Shuttarna III with Shattuara I, the king of Hanigalbat defeated by Adad-Nirari I. Weidner supported this equation, but Harrak rejects it.
Eventually, the mariannu began to challenge Assyrian power in the region from their province of Hanirabbat, or Hanigalbat (the former version of the name may mean Greater Hana, but this is uncertain).

 Esarhaddon Biography
Oracles named Esarhaddon as the person to free the exiles and to rebuild Babylon, the destruction of which by Sennacherib was felt to be sacrilegious.
Essarhaddon was forced into exile at an unknown place beyond Hanigalbat, probably somewhere in eastern Turkey, but remained crown prince.
Sennacherib was murdered in 681, some claim at the instigation of Esarhaddon.

Amongst them were 51 soldiers of the land Qumana and 26 from the land Musru.

 The Mitanni (Naharin)
Artatama, his successor, gave up on Egyptian aid and made a treaty with the Assyrians instead.
Suppiluliumas removed that threat by replacing Artatama with Mattiwaza, a son of Tushratta, who became king of the new vassal state of the Hittites, which was then called Hanigalbat.
Soon afterward, however, it was captured by the Assyrian Adad-nirari I (probably during the reign of Horemheb) and later by Shalmaneser I (during the reign of Ramesses II), at which time the area east of the Euphrates was turned into an Assyrian province.

After the death of Telipinus towards the end of the Egyptian Seventeenth Dynasty came a brief period of obscurity that lasted until the beginning of the Hittite empire under Suppiluliumas.

They in turn lost them to Egypt after the eighth campaign of Tuthmose III.

The Assyro- Akkadian version of the text renders "Hurri" as Hanigalbat.
As early as Akkadian Empire times, Hurrians are known to have lived east of the river Tigris on the northern rim of Mesopotamia, and in the Khabur valley.
Some scholars try to equate the deities venerated by the Mitanni with Vedas deities, and trace the names used by the aristocracy to Indo-Aryan roots.
