Letters of the Great Kings of the Ancient Near East: The Royal Correspondence of the Late Bronze Age

From the 17th to the 12th centuries BCE, the five Great Kings of Egypt, Babylon, Hatti (the kingdom of the Hittites), Mitanni and

Assyria ruled over vast, complex territories. One of the secrets to their control was frequent communication by letter. Many of these

letters survive to the present day, offering fascinating insights into the people and politics of the ancient near Eastern kingdoms.

Trevor Bryce uses the letters as the focus of a fresh look at this turbulent and volatile region in the late Bronze Age. He begins

with a comparative study of the history of all five kingdoms, followed by a survey of how the kings controlled the widespread subject

territories under their rule, and a clear account of the international relationships of the period.

This sets the scene for an exploration of the logistics of communication in the ancient near east -- the preparation of letters, their

conveying between kingdoms by messengers and envoys, the hazards of travel, and the reception of diplomats in the host court.

Succeeding chapters deal with the diplomatic protocols, ethical values and social customs, which the letters reflect; the

personalities of the writers and addresses, and the interactions between them; the stories, personal anecdotes, and historical

episodes, which the letters record.

Throughout the book, numerous extracts from the letters themselves are constantly interwoven into the fabric of narrative and

discussion. This lively approach allows us to witness history through the eyes of the people who lived it, revealing the personalities

and reactions of kings, queens, princes, princesses and royal officials more than 3,500 years ago to the current events of the day.
