Great Hittite king (reigned c 1380-1346 BC), who dominated the history of the ancient Middle East for the greater part of four decades and raised the Hittite kingdom to Imperial power. Suppiluliumas began his reign by rebuilding the old capital, Hattusas (Bogazköy, Turkey), and consolidating the Hittite heartland. He first subdued almost the whole of Asia Minor and then took advantage of the weakness of Armarna Egypt to establish Hittite rule in northern Syria, overcoming the Mitanni. He placed his sons, based in Aleppo and Carchemish, in authority over the Syrian territories.
