| Abstract | ||
| In the year 1195 BC, the Kassites entered the country of Babylon and established their powerful kingdom that lasted until approximately the year 1157 BC. Babylon was associated with foreign relations with the kingdoms of the ancient world, including Egypt, to strengthen its political and diplomatic relations with the pharaohs of Egypt, the masters of the Near East, and the exchange of gifts was one of the most prominent means used for this The Kassite kings sent gifts of peace, including minerals, wood, stones, and others, on certain occasions, such as political marriages or making alliances. The pharaohs of Egypt received gifts from Babylon, as indicated by the Amarna letters. | ||
