Mittani

The Mittani was an ancient kingdom that flourished in the northern part of Mesopotamia, primarily during the 15th to 13th centuries BCE. It was located in what is now northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey. The Mittani people were known for their skilled horse breeding and chariot warfare, which played a significant role in their military strength. The kingdom interacted with major powers of the time, including Egypt and the Hittites, and was influential in regional politics. The Mittani culture was rich, blending various influences, and their legacy includes contributions to early Indo-Iranian languages and administrative practices.
