readx;? Murhili I, reigned: years. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In the > year of Murhili I, the grandson of Hatushili I, who succeeded to the Hittite throne, was the third king of the ancient Hittite kingdom.

At that time, the Hittite system of tribal captivity was practiced, and the areas conquered by the Hittites were sealed under the names of the princes, and all the people in the occupied territories were slaves of the princes, and how they lived could only depend on the prince's mood. Many of the princes were so aggressive that the populace was afraid of the Hittite army.

After the death of Hatushili I, the hittites experienced what was called "the revolt of the slaves of the princes". That is, the uprising of the people of the regions conquered by the Hittites.

The numerous princes of the Hittites, under the orders of Murkhili I, united and suppressed the revolt.

In the aftermath of this revolt, many of the Hittite princes united, and the internal divisions were eliminated, and the Hittite state became stronger than ever.

Anita once destroyed the city of Hattusa, but by this time the city had been redeveloped.

Murhili I moved the capital from Kusar to Hatusa, and was the first king to establish a capital in Hatusa (present-day Pogakos).

Mulshili I continued his father's uncontested war of conquest and again went to war with the Yamhad dynasty.

After several years of war, Murhili I captured Aleppo. The Yamhad dynasty was temporarily destroyed, and Ebula as a vassal state was also destroyed by the Hittites, and the city of Ebra was destroyed by the Hittites, and the ruins of Ebla were buried in the desert ever since.

Murhili I, having taken basic control of Syria, began to extend his hand to Mesopotamia, and Assyria was already strong again. By this time, during the reign of King Sharma Attad II, Assyria had become a powerful and consolidated state.

So Mulshili I began to turn his attention to the weakened ancient Babylon (the first Babylonian dynasty).

However, the Hittites did not know the internal situation of Babylon, and at this time, the Kassite city-state of Hana, who lived in the middle reaches of the Euphrates, was unwilling to submit to Babylonian rule, betrayed Babylon, and surrendered to the Hittites under the persuasion of the Hittites, acting as the vanguard of the way.

In the same year, Murhili I launched a raid along the Euphrates, first conquering Mari.

Subsequently, Murhili I conquered Babylon, first capturing and destroying the city of Harpa, then the city of Babylon, and destroying the First Dynasty of Babylon. Expelled from Babylon the Amorites who founded Babylon.

Hattuhili I and his successor, Murhili I, made a great conquest in the Near East, making the Hittites a great power in the Near East.

These wars in Syria and Mesopotamia may have led to a deeper introduction of cuneiform into Anatolia, as evidenced by the fact that Hittite sources from this period clearly show differences from those of the Assyrian economic colonies.

Babylon was not included in the territory of the Hittite, and Murkhili I seemed intent on placing Babylon under the control of his Kassite allies.

However, the long war strained the resources of the Hittites, and the king left the capital, causing the capital to fall into anarchy.

Murhili I was assassinated shortly after returning to the capital, and the Hittite kingdom fell into civil strife. Civil strife forced the Hittite army to withdraw to the Hittite.

The Hittite had already hoped to enter Mesopotamia, but that hope had vanished. The loss of control of the Babylonian territory, which had been controlled, created the conditions for the Kassites to take over Babylon as Hittite allies.

The Hittite control of northern Syria also lost control, and the Yamhad dynasty of Aleppo was restored, but its power was greatly weakened, and it became the only city-state of Aleppo remained. Ararak, who was the first to take refuge in the Hittites, took the opportunity to rise and established the kingdom of Mukish with Araraq as his capital. The kingdom of Mukish included the city-states of Araraq, Mukish, and Amashuama'u.

The Hittites then entered an era of great upheaval, with decades of civil strife, usurpation of the throne, and the effects of war with their eastern neighbors, the Julians, forcing them to retreat to their homeland.

The Hittite ruled less and less of the area, and even Asia Minor could not be fully controlled. By the end of the Old Kingdom, Hittite rule had shrunk to a narrow strip of land in the central Anatolian Plateau.

There are reasons for this turmoil:

Before the establishment of the New Kingdom of the Hittite, there was no legal norm for succession to the throne. The Hittite king was not a living god like the Egyptian pharaohs, not a dictator, but a leader of a group of elders of equal status.

It was only after the establishment of the new kingdom that the power of the Hittite state was concentrated in the hands of the king, and the royal power became strong.

Hentilly I, reign: years.

In that year, Murshili I's brother-in-law, Khattilly I, staged a palace coup d'état, killed Murhili I, and seized the Hittite throne, the fourth king of the ancient Hittite kingdom.

In that year, Kantili I's son-in-law, Zdantha I, staged a palace coup d'état, killed Kantili I's father and son, seized the Hittite throne, and became the fifth king of the ancient Hittite kingdom.

Amuna, reigned: years.

In that year, Zidanta I's son, Amuna, staged a palace coup, killed his father, Zdanta I, and seized the Hittite throne, the sixth king of the ancient Hittite kingdom.

Khuzya I, reigned: years.

Amuna's son, Huziya I, succeeded to the Hittite throne and was the seventh king of the ancient Hittite kingdom.

The Hittite kingdom went through a total of years.

> period of the Middle Hittite Kingdom:

The reign of Telipinus marked the end of the Old Kingdom and the beginning of the Middle Kingdom, and part of the reason for the historical obscurity of the Hittite Middle Kingdom was that the Hittes were constantly under attack, and the main enemy was the Casca, a non-Indo-European people who moved to the Black Sea coast during the Middle Kingdom.
