	Ancient Nuzi (Yorghan Tepe) in Iraq
		Never a major urban center, Nuzi was a provincial agricultural town in the small Hurrian Kingdom of Arrapha whose capital is today buried under the Iraqi city of Kirkuk.
		Arrapha was situated along the southeastern edge of the area under Mittanian domination.
		To the west was Assyria whose revolt against the Hurrian Kingdom of Mittani probably led to Nuzi's destruction in the 14th century BC (Stratum II of the site) and ultimately contributed to Mitanni's collapse.....

	Semitic Museum - Nuzi - Seals (NF)
		The Mittanian seals with the most elaborate and best carved designs are known only from their impressions.
		Among these are the seals of Saushtatar, king of Mittani, Ithi-Teshshup, king of Arrapha, and Ar-Shali, a Nuzi official, besides numerous uninscribed seals.
		For example, the seal of the Mittanian king Saushtatar was used as a dynastic seal by his descendants, while Ar-Shali's seal survived for several generations as an official seal.

		Another small archive discovered in Assur, written in a previously unknown, presumably Mannean variety of cuneiform, proves that Assyrian goldsmiths still worked in the city in post-empire times, though now under Median command.
		Mittanian control was decisively thrown off by about 1365 B.C. by Ashuruballit, who laid the foundation of the first Assyrian empire.
		Invaders from the Taurus mountains, north of Assyria, posed a significant threat to Assyria, and occupied Arik-den-ili for a number of years, but were successfully repelled, paving the way for Adad-narari (1307 B.C.) to establish the first Assyrian empire, which lasted until approximately 1248 B.C.

		Ties between Egypt and Mitanni were strengthened still further by the marriage of Amenhotep III to Ghilukhepa, the daughter of the Mittanian king Shuttarna.
		Correspondence between the two royal courts showed concern for each other's welfare—when Amenhotep III became sick in his old age, the Mittanian ruler Tushratta sent an image of the goddess Ishtar to aid his recovery.
		During the long reign of Amenhotep III and partly as the result of the subsequent actions of his son, Amenhotep IV/Akhenaten, however, Egypt's power abroad declined.

		Mithras is a Greek form of the name of an Indo-European god, Mithra or Mitra.
		His origins have been traced to Persian, Mittanian and Indian mythology.
		In the sixth and seventh century BCE, a vast reformation of the Persian pantheon was undertaken by Zarathustra (Zoroaster), a prophet from the kingdom of Bactria, whose legacy was the Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism.

		He followed that up in The Horse in 1939 with a startling review of records and references to the Mittanian horsemen in the Mesopotamian Valley.
		The horse records of Kikkuli of the Mittanians were referred to in even greater detail in the third June, 1940, number of Deutsche Sankt-Georg Sportzeitung.
		Such early existence of domesticated horses in a region so closely identified with Arab horses negatives the suggestion of any recent origin of the breed.

	Who killed Tutanchamon? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The very experienced grand-visier Aye is the easiest suspect to point at.
		I would like to add Kiya, Tut's "mother", the traditional and obligatory Mittanian second wife of the farao.
		One day Tutanchamon was working on a rope gang at the monument for Hatshepsut.

	Penetration
		Finally, since we are constantly looking for the flow of cultural habits from Egypt to Greece, I suspect that the Greeks imitated one of their forebears rather than developed their own unique sexual hierarchy.
		You have given your opinion that even the Egyptian kings of the 18th dynasty 'learned' their sexual excesses from the Mittanians.
		That is entirely possible: you cite from the Amarna letters Amenhotep III (Amenophis III) asking the Mittanian king not only for his daughter, but an entire 'army' of women to be sent with her.

	Hittites and Mitanni (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Even with the Egyptian alliance, the Hittite Empire was in decline.
		The Assyrians had absorbed Mittanian territory as far as the Euphrates, the Syrian vassals were shirking their obligations, western Anatolia was shaking off Hittite control.
		All this weakened the Hittites, so much so that around 1180 BCE, migrating maritime raiders called the Sea Peoples ravaged coastal Anatolia and northern Syria, severing the lines of Hittite trade and leaving its weakened center easy prey for additional enemies who surged down from the northern hills.

		There are even loan words which, until now, were thought to be exclusive of the Hurrian- Mittanian linguistic framework.

		The details of this situation are only beginning to emerge through a systematic study of the Nuzi archives that have been reassembled on the basis of findspot, prosopography and seal impressions.
		With its concentration on records relating to the legal and business transactions of a real-estate magnate and his descendants, this archive focuses on the earlier generations and is biased towards the social and professional elite.
		This younger archive composed of mainly administrative records that were sealed by people from many walks of life, sheds light on the changes in political relations that accompanied an increasingly desperate socio-economic situation in the decades prior to Nuzi’s final destruction.

		Romans usually called Mithras “Sol Dominus Invictus.” Roman writers believed that Mithraism came from Persia and that Mithraic iconography represented Persian mythology.
		From this beginning modern scholars have traced Mithras in Persian, Mittanian and Indian mythology.
		The Mitanni gave us the first written reference to Mithras in a treaty with the Hittites.

		Egyptians are active in North Syria too at this period (Tuthmosis III-Amenophis III), and Mittanians are falling from power.
		Suppiluluima I’s reign (1370-1330) marks the gradual absolute control of North Syria South/Southeast Anatolia by the Hittites.
		After an unsuccessful campaign over Mittani, Suppiluluima I incorporates Kizzuwadna’s local dynasty, and towards the second half of his reign, conquests and controls western part of the land of Mittani and installs a Mittanian prince as a Hittite client king and a politically buffer region before the expansion of Middle Assyrians.

		They were translated first into French (Lettre d'El-Amarna, appearing in 1987) and then into English by William Moran whose book, The Amarna Letters, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 1992.
		The letters provide valuable information about diplomatic relations among the kingdoms of the period, including the Egyptian, Assyrian, Mittanian, Babylonian, and Hittite kingdoms.
		The conference organizers, Professor Raymond Westbrooke of Johns Hopkins University and Professor Raymond Cohen of Hebrew University, asked participants to interpret the letters in terms of contemporary theories of international relations or related fields.
