The Amarna Letters are a large collection of diplomatic correspondence written in the Akkadian (Babylonian) language and in cuneiform on clay tablets from several kings of the major kingdoms of the Ancient East. These letters from the Amarna Archive cover a period of thirty years or less. The oldest of them dates back to the thirtieth year of the reign of Amenhotep III, father of Akhenaten, and the most recent dates back to the beginning of the reign of Tutankhamun.
It was found in the archives of King Akhenaten’s palace in the seat of wisdom at Tell el-Amarna, located about 300 km south of Cairo on the eastern bank of the Nile River. The number of Amarna texts known so far is 382 texts, including 350 letters, and the rest are myths, epics, and lists of the names of the gods.
Most of the letters come to (Amarna) in Egypt, and there are a small number of them written in Egypt to be sent to Babylon, Assyria, and Mitanni, and through these letters it is possible to know the foreign policy of Egypt at that time.
