Two answers required. A battle between these two polities is the subject of the disputed theory that a group of n’rn mercenaries arrived late to save the day. Tensions grew between these two polities after Prince Zannanza was killed en route to marrying the other’s Queen, Dahamunzu. One of these polities claimed victory over the other in the Poem of Pentaur at a battle before which they were tricked by two Shasu nomads. A plague carried by prisoners from one of these polities ravaged the other, inspiring plague prayers written by (*) Mursili II. The Deeds of Suppiluliuma records tensions between these two polities, who signed the oldest known peace treaty recorded in Hattusa. King Muwatalli led one of these two polities at a battle at the Orontes River. For 10 points, name these two polities that fought a chariot battle at Kadesh. ■END■
