Description:
MOSES AND THE EXODUS: WHAT EVIDENCE? by Gerard GertouxTušratta wrote 7 letters532 to Amenhotep III (EA 17-26) then 3 letters to Amenhotep IV (EA 27-29). He relates in his first letter (EA 17) his accession to the throne after the murder of his brother Artašuwara, then the following year an attack of the Hittite king [Šuppiluliuma] that he managed to repel. EA 23 letter (BM 29793) is dated IV Peret 1 Year 36 and 27 EA letter is dated I Peret [5] Year [1]2 of Amenhotep IV. Correspondence with Amenhotep III was intense because the EA 20 letter stated that the following letter would be sent 6 months later, involving a total period of 4 or 5 years between the first and last letter. Correspondence with Amenhotep IV was more relaxed since the last letter written to Amenhotep IV (EA 29) states "my messengers for 4 years", involving a period of at least 4 years between the first and the last letter.
