Years: 1389BCE - 1378BCE
Shuttarna, a descendant and probably a son of the great Mitannian king Artatama I, is an ally of the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III; the diplomatic dealings of the kings are briefly recorded in the Amarna letters.
Shuttarna's daughter Kilu-Hepa (sometimes spelled Gilukhepa) is given to Amenhotep III in marriage to seal the alliance between the two royal houses in the Pharaoh's tenth regnal year, taking with her a great dowry.
