About
Šuppiluliuma II inherited the throne from his father Tudḫaliya IV at a moment when the Hittite world still held. He ruled alongside Tukulti-Ninurta I of Assyria, part of the final generation of Bronze Age great powers. The empire he commanded had stood for centuries, but sometime after 1207 BC the records go dark. Whether he died in battle, fled, or simply vanished with his capital, history does not say. He is the last Hittite king whose name survives.
