Document Summary
Neo hittite settlements all had luwian texts but for the better part were all smashed. Karatepe and domuz tepe (black and pigs mound) Domuz tepe on the west bank of the river basically a good candidate for controlling up to the north. King aziatawa servant of king danuna (danuna mother city of adna) When moved acrossed the river set up the karatepe to control a separate trade route. Shifting of the city was a direct result of shifting of the politics and shifting of the trade routes. In the big mess -1200 big black hole. Another group of people show up in background. Not sure where they come from ne syria and nomdic people who. Ends up getting his ass kicked by the arameans. Pretty much all of nmeso was taken over by the armeans. Brings an end to the middle assyrian empire. Neo assyrian: like middle assyrian more of linguistic than historical or archaeological.
