Life in Ancient Egypt: Trade Punt (whose location is uncertain) was a major source for incense, while Syro-Palestine provided cedar, oils and unguents, and horses. At various times in their history, the ancient Egyptians set up trade routes to Cyprus, Crete, Greece, Syro-Palestine, Punt, and Nubia. The needs of ancient civilized societies like Egypt were not fully satisfied by their own resources, so trade routes were developed to reach distant countries. www.carnegiemnh.org /exhibits/egypt/trade.htm

Middle Bronze Age Levant - Ancient Near East .Net Both Syro-Cilician Ware and Common Painted Ware are to be distinguished from the bichrome ware prevailing in MBI southern Syria, Palestine and the adjacent coastal regions (Levantine Painted Ware - Tubb). Broadly the same traits are found in ceramic assemblages throughout the entire Levant in the Middle Bronze I period, indicating that the material culture in both Syria and Palestine was remarkably homogeneous, in this respect at least. Syro-Cilician Painted Ware represents a common and widespread pottery type in the the areas both around and south of Aleppo, in the Amuq Plain and extending up into Cilicia. www.ancientneareast.net /levant_archaeology/levant_mba.html   (1426 words)

The Definitive El Amarna Letters History Names, associated with political situations, familiar from the world-wide correspondence of Amenhotep III and Akhnaton were found again in the C9th BC records, connected with the appropriate kings or officials of Syro-Palestine and other countries, all exercising their proper duties in the appropriate places. These two pharaohs, having been Sothically dated to the late C15th-early C14th BC, are - from a biblical perspective - usually considered by historians to have pre-dated the arrival of the Israelites in the Promised Land - or at least to have coincided with their arrival there.

[No title] An international conference was held at the British Museum on 17-19 April 2001, exploring recent progress in our understanding of the history and archaeology of the Herodian dynasty in Syro-Palestine and the Nabataeans in Arabia from the Hellenistic to the Roman period. There were special displays on Herodian and Nabataean archaeology, and the event coincided with a major exhibition on Cleopatra at the BM.

Shalmaneser's 6th year could not have been later than the 21st year of Ahab, for in his 22nd year, which was his last year, he was not in alliance with Ben-Hadad of Syria, but at war with him.

Shalmaneser III, who probably was the heir, will contemptuously call Hazael, "the son of a nobody", likely indicating that Hazael was Ben-Hadad's son by a concubine [3400]. It is thought that Amenhotep III's formidable wife, Tiy, was the daughter of Tushratta (best known of the Mitannian kings); that she was indeed the same as Taduhiba whom Tushratta married to both Amenhotep and Akhnaton [500]. www.specialtyinterests.net /el_amarnas_mesopotamians.html   (1120 words)

Recent Work on Middle Eastern Chronology [Free Republic] Mitanni strata were not only found in Mesopotamia proper, for example, at Tell Brak, Tell Munbaqa, Tell Hamadiyah, Nuzi and Chagar Bazar, but also in Syro-Phoenicia (at Malaldi). In addition, strata of the Mitanni or Late Bronze IBI 11A period (-l5th/ -14th century) were found in numerous sites of IsraelI Palestine (at Hazor, Beth-Shean, Megiddo, Gezer, Tell Batash and Shechem). As might be known, the Mitanni are quite a recent acquaintance to history: "The kingdom of Mitanni was completely forgotten for millennia until discoveries in the [19th] century revealed its name and existence.1 Today, however, the Mitanni provide the most important archeological synchronisms for the ancient Near East and Egypt. www.freerepublic.com /forum/a3b009e6920a9.htm   (3506 words)

Amenhotep III by David O'Connor, New, Used Books, Cheap Prices, ISBN 0472088335 Among Amenhotep III's undertakings were his roles as leader of numerous campaigns in Syro-Palestine; builder of numerous temples, shrines, and buildings in Thebes and Memphis; and husband to Queen Tiyi and a bevy of lesser wives, including daughters of the kings of Babylon, Hatti and Mitanni. This study of Amenhotep III reveals a fascinating and complex individual, responsible in more than one way for the religious and political upheavals that occurred during the reign of his son, Akhenaten. Amenhotep III: Perspectives on His Reign, edited by David O'Connor and Eric H.
