1 gen 1187 anni a. C. - Letter from Ugarit (modern Syria) c. 1185-1190 B.C.

Descrizione:

King of Ugarit to King of Cyprus:

"My father, now the ships of the enemy have come, they have been setting fire to my cities and have done harm to the land.

Doesn't my father know that all of my infantry and chariots are stationed in Khatte [Hattusa], and that all my ships are stationed in the land of Lukka [on the Aegean coast]?

They have not arrived back yet, so the land is prostrate. May my father be aware of this matter.

Now the seven ships of the enemy which have been coming have done harm to us. Now if other ships of the enemy turn up, send me a report somehow, so that I will know."
