Amarna archive
The Amarna archive is the collection of clay tablets found at Amarna, the site of Akhenaten's capital Akhetaten in Egypt. It consists mainly of diplomatic letters in Akkadian between the Egyptian court and other rulers, including the kings of Babylon. It is a key source for international relations in the Late Bronze Age and for the Babylonian Empire's place in that system.
