Description:

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

Suppiluliuma and his son Arnuwanda II died in 1322 BCE. The 1st year of the Hurrian 6-year war goes back in 1327 BCE, year of Tutankhamun's death. The Syrian 1- year war against Amurru is dated 1348 BCE and Suppiluliuma's attack against Tusratta in 1352 BCE. Tu!ratta likely to have begun to reign 1 year before the attack and died during the brief reign of Semenkhkare (c. 1338 BCE). Akhenaten's death in 1340 BCE (year 6 of his reign = year 17 of Amenhotep IV) and EA 9 letter that Burna-Burias II (1360-1333) sent to Tutankhamun, shortly after his accession, has coincided with the beginning of his reign in 1336 BCE (3 years before Burna-Burias II's death in 1333 BCE).
