Description

The Sea Peoples and Their World: A Reassessment. — Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania, 2000. — p. 21-33.The wealth of written documentation from the 13th century B.C. may easily mislead the historian to place excessive confidence in our knowledge of the basic facts relating to the last phases of the Hittite Empire. Yet, time and again, new discoveries reveal previously unsuspected facets of late Hittite history that call for an overall re-evaluation of the “known” facts. The major developments over the last years are related to sources from Anatolia, but I will open this concise survey with the less spectacular additions to the history of the period from two important centers of Hittite Syria, Ugarit and Emar.
