Years: 1533BCE - 1522BCE
Mursili I plunders Babylon around 1531 BCE, leaving it to the further depredations of the Kassites and other groups of which little is known, notably the Dynasty of the Sealand, based in the far south, who fill the power vacuum left when the Hittites withdraw.
Mursili defeats the Hurrians on his return march from Babylon, bringing with him captives and possessions of Babylon to Hattusa.
Following the death of Mursili in 1526 BCE, the Hittite kingdom will experience several decades of internal strife, punctuated by political insurrection, royal assassinations, and palace intrigues.
As a result of the ongoing chaos, the Hittites will lose control of much of their previously acquired territory in Anatolia and Syria.
