[Footnote 15: Among the royal letters from Tell el-Amarna are eleven which directly concern Babylon. Two of these are drafts, or copies, of letters which Amenhetep III. despatched to Kadashman-Enlil of Babylon (cf. Kundtzon, _op. cit.,_ pp. 60 ff., 74 ff.); three are letters received by Amen-hetep III. from the same correspondent (_op. cit.,_ pp. 66 ff., 68 ff., 72 ff.); five are letters written by Burna-Buriash of Babylon to Amen-hetep IV. or Akhenaten (_op. cit.,_ pp. 78 ff.); and one is a letter from Burna-Buriash, which may have been addressed to Amen-hetep III. (_op. cit.,_ 78 f.). We also possess a letter, from a princess in Babylon to her lord in Egypt, on a purely domestic matter (_op. cit.,_ pp. 118 ff.), as well as long lists of presents which passed between Akhenaten and Burna-Buriash (_op. cit.,_ pp. 100 ff.); one of the letters also appears to be a Babylonian passport for use in Canaan (see below, p. 225, n. 3). The letters thus fall in the reigns of two Kassite rulers, Kadashman-Enlil I. and Burna-Buriash, but from one of Burna-Buriash's letters to Akhenaten we gather that Amen-hetep III. had corresponded with a still earlier king in Babylon, Kara-indash I.; for the letter begins by assuring the Pharaoh that "since the time of Kara-indash, when their fathers had begun to correspond with one another, they had always been good friends" (cf. Knudtzon, _op. cit.,_ pp. 90 ff.). We have recovered no letters of Kurigalzu, the father of Burna-Buriash, though Amen-hetep III. maintained friendly relations with him (see below, p. 224). In a letter of Amen-hetep III. to Kadashman-Enlil reference is also made to correspondence between the two countries in the time of Amen-hetep III.'s father, Thothmes IV. (_op. cit.,_ p. 64 f.).] [Footnote 16: The Babylonian king expresses his willingness to receive any beautiful Egyptian woman, as no one would know she was not a king's daughter (_op. cit.,_ p. 72 f.). Amen-hetep III. married a sister of Kadashman-Enlil, though the Babylonian court was not satisfied with the lady's treatment in Egypt (_op. cit.,_ p. 60 f.).] [Footnote 17: _Op. cit.,_ pp. 178 ff.] [Footnote 18: See below, p. 240.] [Footnote 19: Cf. Breasted, "Hist. of Egypt," p. 367 f.] [Footnote 20: See Knudtzon, _op. cit.,_ p. 128 f.] [Footnote 21: _Op. cit.,_ p. 88 f.] [Footnote 22: Knudtzon, _op. cit.,_ pp. 88 ff.] [Footnote 23: See below, p. 241.] [Footnote 24: Cf. Knudtzon, _op. cit.,_ p. 84 f.] [Footnote 25: This was a Canaanite city built by Akhenaten, and named by him Akhetaten, in honour of the Solar Disk.]
