154: Daḫamunzu (tA-Ḥmt-nswt)

He said, she said. Around 1334 BCE (give or take), the King of Hatti received a curious message. While on campaign, King Suppiluliuma got word that Egypt's pharaoh (someone called "Nib-ḫuru-riya") had died. He had no son, and Egypt's ruling lady (daḫamunzu, or tA-ḥmt-nsw, the "King's Great Wife") needed assistance. The Queen sent a message: would Suppiluliuma help her, and Egypt? Strange events were about to unfold...

Date: c. 1334 BCE (debated).

King: Neb-kheperu-Ra Tut-ankh-Amun (debated) deceased
