Qatna

Qatna (modern: , Tell al-Mishrifeh; also Tell Misrife or Tell Mishrifeh) was an ancient city located in Homs Governorate, Syria. Its remains constitute a tell situated about northeast of Homs near the village of al-Mishrifeh. The city was an important center through most of the second millennium BC and in the first half of the first millennium BC. It contained one of the largest royal palaces of Bronze Age in Syria and has an intact royal tomb that has provided a great amount of archaeological evidence on the funerary habits of that period.

Akizzi (Akk. ma-ki-iz-zi) was the King of Qatna around 1350-1345 BC. He is also known as a writer of several of the Amarna Letters, in which he requested aid from the pharaoh against invaders. He was a successor of Idanda. While Idanda is known from an archive in Qatna, no archive has been found within Qatna that contained letters belonging to Akizzi; instead, letters Akizzi sent were found in Amarna.
