Ammurapi

Ammurapi was the last Bronze Age ruler and king of the Ancient Syrian city of Ugarit, from ca. 1215 to 1180 BC. Ammurapi was a contemporary of the Hittite King Suppiluliuma II. He wrote a vivid letter (RS 18.147) in response to a plea for assistance from the king of Alashiya which has been preserved. It dramatically highlights the desperate situation facing Ugarit while it was also under attack by the invading Sea Peoples.
