by the name of Rib Hada, he writes 60 letters, six zero, to the pharaoh.
They must have been coming two and three a day.
And the Egyptian pharaoh, oh my God, from Rib Hada again?

Right.
So we actually can get a pretty good idea of what life was like.
But that's in the 14th century.
Thutmose III would have been 100 years, 120 years earlier in the 15th century, but those same city-states, they were already there.
So we can figure out what life was like at that time.
So there is no one great king in Canaan, just like I don't think there was any one great king over in Mycenaean Greece.
But we are talking the same time period, right?
Everybody is...
communicating with everybody.
In fact, there is quite a lot of Mycenaean pottery found at these Canaanite sites.
They are trading either directly or indirectly with the Mycenaeans.
We find Mycenaean pottery at Megiddo, at Hazor, and elsewhere.

And that's what made Gordon Loud famous, though they almost didn't find it.
