Years: 1461BCE - 1450BCE
Telepinu had been able to recover a little ground from the Hurrians of Mitanni, by forming an alliance with the Hurrians of Kizzuwatna; however, with the end of his reign after about 1460, the Hittite Empire has entered a temporary "Dark Ages", the Middle Kingdom, lasting around thirty to seventy years, when records become too scanty to draw many conclusions.
The Middle Kingdom of the Hittites is not so much an independent phase of Hittite history as a period of transition between the Old and New Kingdoms.
Almost nothing is known about the Hittites in this period.
