Мурсили II
The solar eclipse mentioned in a text dating to the reign of Mursili II could be of great importance for the absolute chronology of the Hittite Empire within the chronology of the Ancient Near East. The text records that in the tenth year of Mursili's reign, "the Sun gave a sign" (""), just as the king was about to launch a campaign against the Kingdom of Azzi-Hayasa in north-eastern Anatolia.
