The situation and importance of Alalakh findings in the history of Anatolia in the second Millenium B.C.

Alalakh which is in the borders of city Antakya in Turkey was the center of the Land Mukish in the 2nd. Millenium B.C. In early times Alalakh Kingdom was a vassal of Yamhad Kingdom, the capital of which was Aleppo, and it was in the closely relations with the kingdoms in Northern Syria. But later a new people came to the region in question that this people was called as Mitanni by the other peoples in the Near East and they were a people from Indo-European origin peoples. Alalakh Kingdom lived under the sovereignity of Mitanni Kingdom until the Hittite sovereignity. Northern Syria entered into the sovereignity of Hittites in the reign of Tuthalia II and the Hittites occopied all the cities in Northern Syria in the reign of Shuppiluliuma I.Meanwhile, Alalakh Kingdom was also bounded to Hittite Kingdom and Hittite sovereignity over Alalakh lasted until the collapse of Hittite Kingdom by the Sea Peoples migration in 1200 B.C.What important for us is that the texts discovered during Alalakh excavations which throw light on the history of Ancient Near East in the Second Millenium B.C. Because, the archives founded in the Level VII and Level IV gave information both about Alalah and Mitanni Kingdoms and the other kingdoms in the region.In addition, the texts helped to be founded the bases of Ancient Near East Chronology. So, we have possibilities to date a lot of events mentioned on the texts which give information about various historical events.Key Words: Alalakh, Tell Atchana, Mukish, Idrimi.
