Amarna_letter_EA_10
Amarna Letter EA10 (see here: ) is the letter of the Amarna series of diplomatic correspondence designated EA 10, which is written in cuneiform writing showing the continuation of a correspondence between Burna-Buriash II (otherwise known as Burra-Buriyaš) an ancient king of Babylon (named Karduniaš in the 1350 BC Amarna time period), and Akhenaten (also known as Amenophis IV), an ancient pharaoh of Egypt.[1]
Some part of the contents of the letter indicates (in addition to EA11) that the Egyptian pharaoh married his daughters (named Meritaten and Ankhesenpaaten) at a time when they were about 11 or 12 years of age.[1]
Within the letter Burna-Buriash II praises the craftsmen of the land of Akhenaten, and requests a model of an animal, either land or aquatic, and he is apparently indifferent to which of the two the pharaoh should choose to have created.[2]
The letter is part of a series of correspondences from Babylonia to Egypt, which run from EA2 to EA4 and EA6 to EA14. EA1 and EA5 are from Egypt to Babylonia.[3]
