| Amurru letter to pharaoh |
Abdiashirta is the swayer of
Amurru, modern Syria. Abdiashirta reigned over Amurru, famous today as a part of Syria, and was a vassal of
Amenhotep III (1391-1353 B.C.E.). His son and replacement was Aziru. Abdiashirta made an alliance with the Hittites, connecting Suppiluliumas I against the empire of the Mitannis, the loyal allies of Egypt. Abdiashirta and Amurru epitomise the political problems of Egypt that would rise in the rule of
Akhenaten (1353-1335 B.C.E.) and in the Ramessid Period (1307-1070 B.C.E.).
