Amanmašša

Who is Amanmašša?

Amanmašša is the name of an Egyptian official, but probably two separate officials-, in the 1350-1335 BC Amarna letters correspondence. Amanmašša's name in Egyptian means "Amun-born",.

Amanmašša is only referenced in two letters of the Byblos sub-corpus of Rib-Hadda, EA 113 and 114; EA is for 'el Amarna'. Both letters have depth, and reference Yapa-Hadda of Biruta- and involve: ships, control of grain for food, war, desertion of Rib-Hadda people-, etc.

Amarna letter EA 114 has the distinction of being the only letter of the 382–Amarna letter correspondence referencing Alashiya/Cyprus-, besides the letters EA 34–EA 40 that are from Alashiya, and the unnamed "King of Alashiya".

Of the same name: Amenmesse was a later Pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty-.
