Ammurapi (Hittite: š š¬šš am-mu-ra-pĆ) was the last Bronze Age ruler and king (c. 1215 to 1180 BC) of the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit.
He wrote a preserved vivid letter RS 18.147 (Nougayrol et al. (1968 Ugaritica V): 87-9 no.
24)[clarification needed] in response to a plea for assistance from the king of Alashiya.
[2]This letter dramatically highlights the desperate situation facing Ugarit while it was also under attack by the invading Sea Peoples.
[6] Ugarit would become one of the many states of the ancient Near East that were destroyed or abandoned during the Bronze Age collapse.
