She has been referred to as "one of the most influential women known from the Ancient Near East." #Turkey Puduḫepa was born at the beginning of the 13th century BC in the city of Lawazantiya in Kizzuwatna (i.e. Cilicia, a region south of the #Hittite kingdom). Her father Bentepsharri was the head priest of the tutelary divinity of the city, Ishtar, and Puduḫepa grew up to exercise the function of priestess of this same goddess. On his return from the Battle of #Kadesh, the Hittite general #Hattusili met Puduḫepa and, it was said, #Ishtar instructed him to take her as his wife, decreeing that they would enjoy the 'love of husband and wife.' She went with him then to the kingdom of #Hapissa. For Puduḫepa it was an advantageous match. Although Hattusili was most likely much older than her and already had numerous wives and concubines, Puduḫepa became first among his wives. When her spouse successfully rose to the Hittite throne by defeating his nephew #Mursili III in a civil war instigated by #Hattusili around 1286 BCE, Puduḫepa ascended the throne with him, becoming tawananna, or queen. #california #usa A #Istanbul #Turkey #californiadesign #madeinTurkey Metin Durmaz (@sagistgroup)'in paylaştığı bir gönderi (13 Apr, 2020, 4:34pm PDT)
