| Info |
During the Egyptian Second Intermediate Period and early New Kingdom, Canaan was an Egyptian vassal state. Thus 14th century BCE documents, from the El Amarna archive in Egypt, describe the king of Hazor (Hasura) Abdi-Tirshi, as swearing loyalty to the Egyptian Pharaoh. However, table EA 148 specifically reports that Hasura's king has gone over to the Habiru who were invading Canaan. In these documents, Hazor is described as an important city in Canaan. Hazor is also mentioned in the Execration texts, that pre-date the Amarna letters, and in 18th century BCE documents found in Mari on the Euphrates River. |
