Ancient Babylonia - Kadashman-Enlil I and Burnaburiash II
 The next period of Babylonian history for which we have limited information
is the 14th century BC There was a discovery at Amarna in Egypt of a cache of clay tablets inscribed in cuneiform, which has shed
considerable light on this time period. These tablets contain letters to the Egyptian
pharaohs (Tuthmosis III to Amenophis IV) from various parts of the Fertile
Crescent, including Babylonia. The letters were written in Akkadian, which had been the language of international relations for some time.
