The 13th century BC witnessed the zenith of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean civilizations which declined at the end of the Bronze Age, ∼3200 years ago. Weakening of this ancient flourishing Mediterranean world shifted the political and economic centres of gravity away from the Levant towards Classical Greece and Rome, and led, in the long term, to the emergence of the modern western civilizations. Textual evidence from cuneiform tablets and Egyptian reliefs from the New Kingdom relate that seafaring tribes, the Sea Peoples, were the final catalyst that put the fall of cities and states in motion. However, the lack of a stratified radiocarbon-based archaeology for the Sea People event has led to a floating historical chronology derived from a variety of sources spanning dispersed areas. Here, we report a stratified radiocarbon-based archaeology with anchor points in ancient epigraphic-literary sources, Hittite-Levantine-Egyptian kings and astronomical observations to precisely date the Sea People event. By confronting historical and science-based archaeology, we establish an absolute age range of 1192–1190 BC for terminal destructions and cultural collapse in the northern Levant. This radiocarbon-based archaeology has far-reaching implications for the wider Mediterranean, where an elaborate network of international relations and commercial activities are intertwined with the history of civilizations.

The Hittites, who were on the stage of history as a political power in Anatolia between the 17th to 12th centuries B.C., shed light on the period they were in with various cuneiform documents they left behind. One of these subjects is the animals associated with the gods, the depiction of the god or thought to be in the entourage of the god. One of the animals whose relationship with the gods has not emerged is "the dog". The dog has been used to soothe angry gods and has been used as a surrogate, as a protector of the patient, or as a means of purifying the patient in magic rituals directed by the underworld gods. huwaši stones; it is defined as an open air temple for god representation or god statues, and the dog-shaped huwaši stones are mentioned in the treaty texts. The figurines of the animals called god animals were included in the texts and a bronze dog figurine was mentioned, among the bronze vessels given as tribute to the goddess Išhara. At the same time, the dog was officially and religiously represented by officials under the title "Dog-men" (LÚMEŠ UR.GI7) for various ceremonies. In this study, the relationship between the dog and the gods will be examined according to the documents written in Hittite cuneiform. The use of the dog in the magic rituals directed to the gods, the place of the dog in the Hittite religious life and its reflections will be discussed. M.Ö. 17-12. yüzyıllar arasında Anadolu'da siyasi bir güç olarak tarih sahnesinde yer alan Hititler, ardında bıraktıkları çivi yazılı belgeler ile çeşitli konularda dönemlerine ışık tutmuşlardır. Bu konulardan biri ise tanrı ve tanrılar ile ilişkilendirilen, tanrının tasviri ya da tanrının maiyetinde bulunduğu düşünülen hayvanlardır. Ancak tanrılar ile ilişkisi öne çıkmamış hayvanlardan birisi "köpek"tir. Köpek, genellikle yeraltı tanrılarına yöneltilen büyü ritüellerinde hastanın vekili, koruyucusu ya da öfkeli tanrıları yatıştırmada ve hastanın arındırılmasında aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. huwaši taşları; tanrının heykeli, tanrı temsili ya da tanrı heykelleri için açık hava tapınağı olarak tanımlanmış ve antlaşma metinlerinde köpek şekilli huwaši taşlarından söz edilmiştir. Tanrı hayvanı olarak adlandırılan hayvanların figürinleri metinlerde yer almış ve tanrıça İšhara için haraç olarak verilen bronz kaplar arasında bronzdan yapılmış bir köpek figürininden bahsedilmiştir. Aynı zamanda köpek, resmi ve dini anlamda "Köpek Adamlar" (LÚMEŠ UR.GI7) unvanıyla çeşitli törenlerde yer alan görevliler ile temsil edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada Hititçe çivi yazılı belgelere göre köpek ile tanrılar arasındaki ilişki incelenecektir. Tanrılara yöneltilen büyü ritüellerinde köpeğin kullanımı, Hitit dini hayatında köpeğin yeri ve bunun yansımaları ele alınacaktır.

The following study examines Canaano-Akkadian, the unique cuneiform system used in the southern Levant during the Late Bronze Age (1550-1150 B.C.E.), as a diplomatic scribal code used in contexts of mediated diplomacy with Egypt. The methodologies presented draw upon recent work on the sociolinguistics of writing and script choice that best elucidate the genesis of this scribal system and its role in Egypt's eastern empire. The classification of the language of the Canaanite Amarna Letters is still a matter of contention. The primary debate is whether or not the mixed Canaano-Akkadian forms are a reflection of a local dialect(s) of Akkadian, or a written scribal code––one that was quite distanced from the actual language underlying such messages.Recent petrographic and paleographic analyses further complicate the correlation between language and writing in this corpus. Certain cuneiform scribes worked for multiple polities and, moreover, many tablets were created at quite a distance from the political centers generating this correspondence. For example, a number of letters were written at Egyptian administrative centers across the Levant and not at the local courts "sending" these messages. The Canaanite scribe emerges as the central figure in discussions of linguistic classification, as the language of these letters is a better reflection of scribal training during this period than what was actually spoken at local Canaanite courts. As such, there is a need for a reassessment of the scribal and administrative landscape of this period, and in particular, the system of scribes and messengers. This system of communication was a dynamic, complex process that entailed at the very least four linguistic layers: the spoken dialects of the original messages; Canaano-Akkadian, the scribal code of the written versions; the mediated reading of these letters once delivered, along with any additional socio-political or metapragmatic subtext; and the final translation into Egyptian.The present study considers the metapragmatic, linguistic, orthographic, and rhetorical strategies employed by cuneiform scribes to bridge the geographic and cultural gulf between Canaanite polities and the royal court at Tell el-'Amarna, Egypt. The Canaanite glosses and scribal marks resurface as unique evidence for how Canaanite scribes approached the problem of translation and linguistic "border-crossing" in these cross-cultural and multilingual exchanges. Such strategies added nuance and a metapragmatic commentary to guide the translation and interpretation of these letters and to ensure that they received a positive reception. The cuneiform script was not limited to a technological tool in such interactions, but entailed participation in a much larger cultural horizon—one shared by cuneiform scribes in Canaan and Egypt, who were the gatekeepers facilitating diplomacy throughout this period.

Diplomasi, devletlerarasındaki sorunların barışçıl yöntemlerle ve karşılıklı iletişim ile çözüme kavuşturulma çabasıdır. Diplomaside temel amaç, tarafların birbirlerine güven ortamı sağlayarak savaşmadan çıkar ilişkilerini sürdürebilmeleridir. Bu ilişkiler ne kadar uzun süreli ve geniş çaplı olursa o kadar başarılı olur. Yayılmacı ve yağmalayıcı bir siyasi anlayış içerisinde büyüme göstermiş eskiçağ liderleri, diplomasinin önemini kendi dönemlerinde keşfetmiş ve birbirleriyle temaslar kurarak, birbirlerini kontrol altında tutmak istemişlerdi. EskiMezopotamya'nın en gözde uygarlığı olan Babil'in kralları savaş dışındaki yeteneklerini diplomaside de göstermiş, çağdaş devlet ve vasal krallar arasında diplomatik temaslar kurmuşlardı. Bu temaslar elçiler aracılığı ile mektuplaşarak gerçekleştirilmişti. Günümüzde diplomasi, sadece politik anlamda değil, ekonomik, ticari, kültürel, askerî ve teknik pek çok alanda yürütüldüğü gibi Eski Mezopotamya'da da pek çok alanda diplomasi sürdürülmüştü. Bazen yöntemler bugünden farklı olarak yürütülüyor,diplomatik ilişkiler; hediye takasları ve saraylar arasındaki siyasi evlilikler ile garanti altına alınmaya çalışılıyordu. ; Diplomacy is the attempt to resolve the problems between states by peaceful methods and mutual communication. Mainobjective of diplomacy is that the parties can maintain their relations of interest without fighting by providing of an enviroment of trust. The more this relations long-term and large scale the more its succeed. Ancient leaders, who grew up in a pervasive and looting political understanding had discovered the importance of diplomacy in their own times and wanted to keek each other under control by establishing contact with each other. The kings of Babylon, the most popular civilization of ancient Mesopotamia, showed their diplomatic skills outside of war and established diplomatic contacts between the modern state and vassal kings. These contacts were carried out by messengers through letters. Today, diplomacy has been carried out not only in political sense, buy alsa in many areas such as economic, commercial, cultural, military and technical, and diplomacy has continued in many areas in ancient Mesopotamia. The methods are different from today, diplomatic relations; it was tried to be guarenteed by marriages between palaces and by gift exchanges.

The text KBo III, 6 is a very important text in the Hittite tables. This text is about the history of the Hittite empire, its people, rulers and architecture.This text shows the political intrigues of the time. From Hattushili's autobiography, we learned about the danger of the Gashka country for the Hittite empire. The text shows how central authority was established in the Hittite empire.The work on the deciphering of cuneiform text KBo III, 6 begins in 1906, when during the archaeological expedition, archaeologists Hugo Winckler and Theodore Makridi found many cuneiform texts in the Bogazkoja temple number one. They suggested that these texts are very important, however, they, like many other archaeologists, who later worked with the found cuneiform texts, could not decipher them, they did not know on what language these texts were written.Fredrich Hrozny, linguist – philologist, deciphered the language of the found cuneiform texts. He discovered that it was Hittite, and proved that it belongs to Indo-European languages, like other Anatolian languages.Subsequently, other philologists began to work on the text of the KBo III, 6, and interpret the main topic of the text from their point of view, focusing on the topic of religion, arteology, apology, autobiography or chronicle. For example, Goetze A. discussed this text, focusing on aretology, covering all events from a religious point of view. E. Sturtevant interpreted the text of the KBo III 6 from the point of view of apology. Hans G. Güterbock argued that the text of the KBo III, 6 is an edict, a regulatory act. G. M. Wolf, as well as E. Sturtevant, interpreted the text of the KBo III, 6 from the point of view of apology. Annelise Kammenhuber said that this text is both Hattushili's autobiography and his chronicle. All the above-listed philologists had their own interpretation of the meaning of the text of the KBo III, 6. All philologists agreed on the legal position of Hattushili in government and on the importance of the goddess Ishtar in Hattushili's life.Subsequent philologists deciphered further the cuneiform texts found in Bogazkoi, and so in the world learned about the Hittite empire, rulers and civilization.Having analyzed literary sources, I agree that the text of KBo III, 6 is Hattushili's autobiography, since the text very much focuses on the personal qualities of his character, it is shown how strong and wise the ruler of the Hittite empire was. Hattushili constantly considered himself good, and his actions were correct. He also led a successful policy in his empire and beyond its borders.The text of Hattushili's autobiography shows how important it is and how much Hattushili's family contributed to the history of the Hittite empire. ; В собрании клинописних текстов из Богазкьоя, в частности, среди собранных там хеттских таблиц, текст КВо III, 6 занимает исключительно важное место.

El Próximo Oriente antiguo produjo, a lo largo de más de tres milenios, diversos sistemas de escritura. Entre los principales destacan el jeroglífico egipcio y el cuneiforme mesopotámico, por su antigüedad, longevidad y el enorme número de documentos que los emplearon. El tercer gran sistema de escritura es, sin duda, el alfabético. El principio del que parte el alfabeto es muy distinto al de otros sistemas: descompone la lengua en sus componentes más elementales, los fonemas. No transcribe, por tanto, unidades mayores, como palabras completas (escrituras ideográficas) o sílabas (como por ejemplo la escritura cuneiforme mesopotámica o la escritura micénica). Se trata de un concepto revolucionario dentro de la historia de la escritura, más aún teniendo en cuenta el contexto político y cultural en el que nació. Desde nuestra perspectiva actual, el alfabeto es un gran invento de la Humanidad. Se trata de un sistema de fácil aprendizaje y, en expresión habitual, se trata de un elemento esencial de la "democratización del saber". Pero veremos que en el antiguo Oriente Próximo, la percepción de esta invención fue diferente. Nacido más tarde que el jeroglífico egipcio y el cuneiforme mesopotámico, el alfabeto coexistió durante siglos con esos dos sistemas mayores. Ni los egipcios ni los pueblos que utilizaban el cuneiforme mesopotámico renunciaron nunca a esos sistemas en favor del alfabeto.

This thesis attempts to trace the circulation circuits of cuneiform mathematical tablets from the excavation sites where they were exhumed at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, to the collections where they are preserved. Its purpose is to show the influence of the course of the tablets on (the conditions of) their study and publication. The circulation networks of mathematical tablets, like those of antiquities in general, are very complex and often opaque. The thesis analyzes this complexity and the factors that are involved. The first part examines the progressive establishment of legislation, the proliferation of illegal excavations, and the sharing among excavators. The second part deals with the role of merchants and private collectors, (and also with the networks to which they belong). A special place is given to a character with a central role in the circulation of mathematical tablets: the merchant Elias Géjou. The conclusion shows how the study and publication of the tablets, based on corpus artificially constituted within a collection or through several collections, depends closely on the history of the circulation networks of antiquities. ; Cette thèse tente de retracer les circuits de circulation des tablettes mathématiques cunéiformes depuis les sites des fouilles où elles ont été exhumées à la fin du 19e siècle et au début du 20e siècle, jusqu'aux collections où elles sont conservées. Son but est de montrer l'influence du parcours des tablettes sur (les conditions de) leur étude et publication. Les réseaux de circulation des tablettes mathématiques, comme ceux des antiquités en général, sont très complexes, et souvent opaques. La thèse analyse cette complexité et les facteurs qui sont en jeu. Dans la première partie, sont examinés l'établissement progressif d'une législation, la multiplication des fouilles illégales, le partage entre les fouilleurs. La deuxième partie s'intéresse au rôle des marchands et collectionneurs privés, (ainsi qu'aux réseaux auxquels ils ...
