دور المرأة الخورية (الميتانية)‎ في ممالك الشرق الأدنى القديم

Abstract EN

The woman in general and the Hurrians Mitanni woman, in particular, had a strong and important presence in the historical events of the ancient kingdoms of the Near East, especially the Egyptian and Hittite kingdoms, where their role emerged in several areas such as administration, diplomatic relations, internal politics as well as the religious aspect.

As they were not just the wives of kings as much as the kings themselves, where their influence was clear on the decisions and orders of the kings in domestic politics, and sometimes even external politics.

The Mitanni Hurrian's woman, especially Nefertiti in the Egyptian kingdom, and Bodokheba in the Hittite kingdom were distinguished by political acumen and wit in the administration of the court and the royal palace so that they ran the kingdom's affairs after the death of their husbands without chaos or turmoil in the country.

The diplomatic relations between the kingdom of the ancient Near East, and what followed it from the political marriage, is one of the reasons for the emergence of the Mitanni princesses, through their marriage to the kings of those kingdoms and thus their emergence on the scene of events in the second millennium B.
