EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a selection of Amarna Letters, a collection of clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform script, primarily written in Akkadian, dating back to the 14th century BC. These tablets represent an intriguing archive of correspondence between the Egyptian administration and its representatives in Canaan and Amurru, spanning the years 1350-1330 BC. The Amarna Letters were discovered at Amarna, in Upper Egypt, and are now housed at the British Museum in London, United Kingdom. The Amarna Letters offer a unique insight into the diplomatic relations between Egypt and its vassals during the New Kingdom period. The documents provide valuable information on various aspects of ancient civilizations, including trade, politics, and culture. The letters reveal the complexities of ancient bureaucracy and the intricacies of diplomacy during this time. The tablets were written on clay using a stylus, and the cuneiform script is characterized by its wedge-shaped marks. The Akkadian language, which was the lingua franca of the ancient Near East, was used for most of the correspondence. These links to the past serve as a reminder of the rich history that connects us to the civilizations of Mesopotamia and Egypt. The Amarna Letters continue to be a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of ancient history, providing a tangible connection to the past and shedding light on the complexities of ancient diplomacy and administration.
