I/20 — SYRO-CANAANITE OR UGARITIC 1595 BC

I/20 SYRO-CANAANITE OR UGARITIC 1595 BC - 1100 BC

This list covers the city-states of Canaan and Syria after the fall of the Amorite dynasties to the Hittites and the occupation of the resulting vacuum by petty rulers largely of Hurrian origin commanding chariot-riding maryannu. These city states were usually vassals of one of the great powers in the area, such as Mitanni, Egypt, Hittites or Assyria. Ugarit was one of these states, but came under Hittite influence and was an early adopter of the new heavy chariots with an extra crewman and sometimes an extra horse as a spare. It was destroyed by the Sea Peoples invasion that crippled the Hittites. Reference: Armies of the Ancient Near East N. Stillman & N. Tallis.
