	Suppiluliumas
		Suppiluliumas, King of the Hittites, brought to his defeated country the power of an empire and dominated the history of the Middle East for four decades, ruling from 1368 to 1328 BCE.
		At first suspicious, Suppiluliumas sent emissaries to determine the authenticity of the request, and when he sent his son Zannanza some months later, he was killed en route and a war began between the Hittites and the Egyptians which is evidently undocumented in Egyptian records.
		Suppiluliumas could not have achieved much in the way of revenge, as he died soon afterwards, victim of the plague brought to Anatolia by Egyptian prisoners of war.

	Dakhamun
		In the biography of Suppiluliumas, compiled by his son Mursilis, there is quoted a letter from a queen of Egypt named Dakhamun: “My husband died,” she wrote, “and I have no son.
		A request of this kind was unheard of, and Suppiluliumas sought the advice of his consellors, exclaiming: “Since of old such a thing has never happened before me!” They advised caution: He should first assure himself that no deception was being planned.
		At this, Suppiluliumas “complied with the lady’s wishes,” and sent her a prince.

		Suppiluliumas was unable to avenge the mysterious death of the son he eventually sent, because he fell victim to the pestilence then raging in the Levant, as did his eldest son, Arnuwandas II, soon afterwards.

		Suppiluliumas finally believed her and sent a son.
		The reign of Suppiluliumas is known to be in excess of 30 years and that he came to the throne just before the Exodus.
		Therefore, if Suppiluliumas died about 30 years after the Exodus, his next son died within that same year, and the son writing of this event reigned 9 full years and was in his 10th when it occurred, this would place the time of the event at about 40 years after the Exodus.

		Though the traditional history suggests that the Suppiluliumas letter was written in the last years of this king's forty to fifty year rule, we believe otherwise.
		We have dated the reign of Suppiluliumas II to the years 765-760 B.C. We could be in error by as much as three or four years.
		Having established that Suppiluliumas I and II lived at the beginning of the 9th and middle of the 8th centuries respectively, we wonder if parallels might be found for those kings intermediate between them.
