Aplahanda

Aplahanda was a king of Carchemish proposed to have reigned between 1786 and 1766 BCE,[1] during the Middle Bronze IIA.

They are skilfully produced, and show mostly Babylonian influence, although some Syrian and Egyptian motifs are also present.

[3] He is also found mentioned in the Mari tablets, reigning at the same time as Yasmah-Addu and Zimri-Lim, by whom he is addressed as a brother.

His name was suggested to be Amorite by I. J. Gelb and the hypothesis of a Semitic origin was supported by Wilfred G.

[4][3] At Acemhöyük (Anatolia), the Sarıkaya Palace yielded two bullea mentions Aplahanda.
