Years: 1341BCE - 1330BCE
The Hittite king Suppiluliuma I defeats king Tushratta of Mitanni in the mid-fourteenth century and assumes control of northern Syria, including Alalakh, which he incorporates into the Hittite Empire.
A tablet records his grant of much of Mukish's land (that is, Alalakh's) to Ugarit after the king of Ugarit alerted the Hittite king to a revolt by the kingdoms of Mukish, Nuhassa, and Niye.
