The most well-known of these was Burna-Buriash ruling 1361-1333 BC, according to the high chronology of the Kassite Dynasty. He was a contemporary of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten . The diplomatic correspondence between the two kings are preserved in the Amarna Letters . The relationship between Babylon and Egypt during his reign was friendly at the start, and a marriage alliance was in the making. Later in his reign the Assyrian king Ashur-uballit I was received at the Egyptian court. This caused a great deal of dismay from Burna-Buriash who claimed the Assyrians were his vassals. Assyria emerged as a great power during his reign, threatening the northern border of the kingdom. |
