DU-Teššup

Who is DU-Teššup?

DU–Teššup was the son of Aziru, of the 1350-1335 BC Amarna letters correspondence, and also the father of Aziru's successor, in Amurru-. DU-Teššup's name refers to the Hurrian god of sky and storm, Teshub.

Aziru, and his father Abdi-Ashirta, were some of the major instigating forces- causing conflict with the Egyptian pharaoh, as cities–, and regions were under constant threat and destruction in the northern, and western Canaan region-.

DU–Teššup is the presumed author of tablet-letter EA 169- written to pharaoh, requesting Aziru's return from "forced" consultation. DU–Teššup is not mentioned by name in the Amarna letters corpus.
