1425 BCE to 1414 BCE

The Mitanni nation has grown stronger during the reign of Shaushtatar but the Hurrians are keen to keep the Hittites inside the Anatolian highland.

Kizzuwatna in the west and Ishuwa in the north are important allies against the hostile Hittites.

There is a consequence into Shaushtatar's expansion into Palestine: war with Egypt.

Despite Mitanni's advantage that Palestine has a significant Hurrian population at this time, the war will be difficult to win.

During the planning stages, however, Shaushtatar dies, and his son Artatama I negotiates with the pharaoh Amenhotep II over an alliance.
