THE AKHENATEN'S REIGN: AN EGYPTOLOGICAL DELIRIUM by Gerard Gertoux

The letter EA 17 written just after the attack by Suppiluliuma (1353-1322), which was repelled by Tusratta (1354-1339), must be dated 1351, which means dating the letter EA 23 in 1348, a year which actually coincides with year 36 of Amenhotep III. Another synchronism again confirms this date87. The correspondence from the mayor of Byblos attests that Tu!ratta and the Hurrians led a vigorous counterattack during the months that followed the Hittite raid (mentioned in EA 75), before their entering into Amurru and their advance towards Byblos (EA 85:51-55). Amurru was plundered (EA 86:8-12) and despite Abdi-A!irta was sick (EA 95:41-42) he negotiated with Tu!ratta (EA 90:19-20). The latter recognized that Amurru, too large for him, was a "possession" of Pharaoh (EA 95:27-31). The information with numbers (as 1, 2 or 3 years) allow us to date these events in the year 35 and 36 of Amenhotep III (1349-1348), which coincided with the marriage between him and Taduhepa, Tu!ratta's daughter (EA 22-23-24).
