Winona Lake: Eisenbrauns, pp. 143-164. The Amarna Archive is considered a privileged source for the study of the role of messengers and merchants in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Late Bronze Age.

Third millennium Ḥwt jḥ(w)t is a locality that stands apart from other Lower Egyptian sites.

These events are referred to in the tale of the miraculous rise of the first three kings of the Fifth Dynasty, recorded on the Papyrus Westcar.
