| | Ugarit was also the Hittites' most effective support against the coastal pirate raids and inland plundering of the mysterious "Sea Peoples", by this time a serious threat to Syro-Canaanite stability. | | | The "Southern Archive", on the other hand, pertained to Ugarit's foreign relations. | | | His work in time, using stratographic soundings, revealed five separate archaeological levels. |

| | At that time both Ebla and Ugarit were under Egyptian hegemony, which shows that the long arm of Egypt extended all along the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea (for Ugarit is located in modern day Syria roughly dead east of the NE coast of Cyprus on the coast of Syria). | | | This because the worshippers were attempting to convince Baal to send rain on their crops. | | | As in the Ugaritic myth, the purpose of Yahweh’s enthronement is to re-enact creation. |

This is the cursive script, used in Old Hebrew and for the original writing of the OT books. |
