Arzawa

Arzawa was a region in ancient Anatolia, now part of modern Turkey, known for its rich cultural and political history during the Late Bronze Age. It was home to several city-states and was significant in interactions with major civilizations like the Hittites and Mycenaeans. Arzawa is often referenced in historical texts for its connections to trade and diplomacy in the ancient world. Its importance diminished around the late 12th century BCE, likely due to the collapse of nearby empires and migrations, leading to its eventual obscurity in historical records.
