Kashka tribe

Japanese: カシュカ族 - かしゅかぞく
Kashka tribe


[New Kingdom Period]
The early history of this period is also scarce and unclear, but there are a relatively large number of chronicles and treaties written by the two kings and queens, Tudhariya II/Nikarmati and Arnuwanda II/Ashmunikar, which give us some insight into the situation at the time. In the area surrounding the Hittite Empire, the Mitanni Kingdom rose to prominence in northern Syria and invaded Aleppo and Kizzuwatna, while the Qashqa tribe held sway in northern Anatolia, even taking Hattusa at one point, putting the kingdom in a difficult position. It was Suppiluliuma I (reigned circa 1380-1340 BC) who helped the kingdom escape this predicament and built the foundations of the New Kingdom.
