Abstract:
In the 4th century B.C. what was called the “Syrian Kingdoms” represented the economic and cultural core of the political events. They became like that for its strategic and political place. Even that those kingdoms were not one political entity, they shaped a cultural entity inside Syria. For the previous reason, those kingdoms were unable to defend themselves against the continuous raids. Those raids came from more than one direction and particularly from Mesopotamia, Nile valley, Mitani, and Hittite kingdoms. Those kingdoms [Syrian Kingdoms] were not also capable of holding back the tribes’ immigrations that went deeply into them and some of these tribes destroyed and conquered like what was known as Khabeero tribe and those facts are proven by excavations.The main cause behind choosing such subject was to know the avidity of the great countries towards Syria in the prehistoric period and the results that came after. The political and cultural significance of that era and its effects on Syrian kingdoms that time made the researcher seeks to find out the kingdoms’ role in that epoch through cuneiform resources that were discovered in Egypt in (1887 A.C.) in Tall - Amarna. That discovery had a big reverberation among the historians. It is also regarded as one of the most important sources of the Syrian history in the 14th century A.C. they are letters between Babylon, Assyrian, Mitannies and Hittite kings from one hand and Syrian kings from another, especially the kings of the coastal parts that were somehow related to pharaohs the Egyptian rulers through that period that became widely known as Amarna era. The language used in those letters was Acadian (Babylon middle accent) except one letter was written in Assyrain (EA15), another in Mitanni language (EA24 ) and two others were in Hittite (EA 31 - 32). The content of those letters included the political issues of the old east generally, the Syrian’s rulers attitudes towards Egypt pharaohs and it showed the political Egyptian effects and the alliances held to encounter Hittite dangers which was aimed on north Syria. The letters also depicted theloyalty differences among the Syrian kingdoms towards the main political powers (Egypt, Hittite kingdom and Mitanni kingdom) and how that influenced in their schism. That led to disturbed political situation that its impact extended to cease the cultural development and prevent the unity of the small entities; contrarily it made each Syrian ruler seeks for his own interests that ensures the continuity of his reign.The thesis consists of three parts preceded by an introduction and followed by an ending.The first part deals with the coastal kingdoms in the 4th century B.C. and it has two subdivisions the coastal parts and the other is entitles as the internal kingdoms.The second part includes the Syrian coastal kingdoms in the 4th century B.C. in accordance with Tall - Amarna Texts. It also has two subparts which are the relation between Egypt and coastal kingdoms in conformity with Tall - Amarna Texts , whereas the other is the coastal kingdoms economic conditions according to Tall - Amarna Texts.The final part is about the Syrian internal kingdoms in the 4th century B.C. according to Tall - Amarna Texts. The third part is divided into two subparts. The first one shows the internal kingdoms’ political relationships with Egypt according to Tall - Amarna Texts and the second includes the internal kingdoms’ economic conditions with Egypt according to Tall - Amarna Texts.
