| | Hurrians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Hurrian speakers formed the majority population of the kingdom of Mitanni, though they appear to have been governed by a class of foreign nobility. | | | Recently, with the discovery of the Tikunani Prism, there has been growing support for the theory that the Habiru, who were for a time believed to be the ancient Hebrews, may have been Hurrian speakers. | | | The Hurrian states apparently became more politically prominent after being dominated by an elite of foreign rulers. |

| | In his view, the latter had been the linguistic and ethnic substratum of northern Mesopotamia since earliest times, while the former were merely late arrivals, a view shared by Speiser... | | | Bogazkoy documents refer to the people of Mittanni as Hurrian. | | | "...The Egyptian tomb biography of Amenemhet, an official who claimed to have invented a device for measuring time, refers to events of the final decades of the sixteenth century and includes the earliest mention of the name of this trans-Euphratean Hurrian state: Mitanni. |

| | Along with sporadic mentions of Hurrians in Sumerian and Akkadian documents, the finds from these sites help us outline the history of the early Hurrians. | | | Washshukkanni, the capital of Mittani, has not yet been positively identified. | | | From about 1500 BCE the Hurrian kingdom of Mittani, centered around the headwaters of the Habur River, was the dominant power among the small states of northern Mesopotamia and Syria. |

| | Subsequently, Bedrich Hrozný (1920) and Emil Forrer (1919, 1922) discovered the presence of Hurrian material in the Bogazköy-Hattusa archives. | | | Despite political subjection, the continued Hurrian ethnic and cultural presence in Syria and the Cilician region (Kizzuwadna) strongly influenced the Hittites. | | | Yet the Hurrian heartland during this period was northern Mesopotamia, the country then known as Hurri, where the political units were dominated by dynasts of Indo-Iranian origin. |

| | This did not result in a war but in an alliance with Egypt, which suggests that the Egyptians ceded their claims over Hurrian domains to the Mitanni. | | | The end for both the Hittite Empire and the Hurrian kingdoms came ca1200 when they were subjected to attacks from enemies within Anatolia, in the case of the Hittites, and from sea marauders, in the specific case of Ugarit. | | | Western Hurrian states became semi-autonomous and in some cases fully autonomous vassals of the Hittites. |

| | And after the Kassites conquered Babylon they came to accept Babylon's literature as sacred. | | | The Assyrian king, Ashur the Great (who ruled from 1365 to 1330) married his daughter to a Babylonian, and he invaded Babylon after Kassite nobles there murdered his grandchild. | | | During the mid-1300s, the pharaoh Amenhotep IV (also known as Akhenaton, or Akhenaten) tried to force his subjects to worship the god Aton, whom he believed was the god of the universe. |

| | The Hurrians were an important ethnic group in the Levant during the 2nd millenium BCE. | | | Many Hurrian rituals were similar to those in Hittite Anatolia. | | | The king of the gods was the weather god Teshub, who had violently deposed his father Kumarbi. |

| | Hurrians |
| | The weakened strength of the Mesopotamian states after 1550 B.C. enabled the Hurrians to found numerous small states in the eastern parts of Anatolia, northern Mesopotamia, and Syria. | | | In the 15th century B.C. the Hurrian area from the Iranian mountains to Syria and north into Anatolia was united under the control of a military aristocracy called Mitanni. | | | With their increasing presence, they became a rival of and a threat to both Babylon and Egypt. |

| | From later evidence, we think that they identified themselves as Hurrians. | | | We now think that there was an ethnic bond that united these populations. | | | Such dynastic alliance was probably influenced by the fact that normal Akkdian administrative controls could not easily be imposed on the mountainous hinterland: as a result, an alliance seemed more realistic than a conquest of the capital city, Urkesh – however easy such a conquest might have been, in military terms. |

| | Just as in the Hurrian myth Anu, the god of heaven, is castrated by his son Kumarbi, to be deposed in his turn by the weather god Teshup, so Kronos becomes ruler of the gods after the castration of his father, Uranus, god of heaven, only to be usurped by Zeus, the thunder god". | | | 59-60 writes: "There is no doubt about the parallels between the Hurrian myth of succession and the Theogony of Hesiod, the Greek poet living in Boeotia in about 700 B.C.. | | | In the Hittite-Hurrian world it was deified under the name of Hazzi and became one of Tessub's satellites, along with the still unidentified Mount Namni", p. |
