The Kurdish empire / 'Aryan Gods' of the Mitanni Treaties
"This kingdom was simultaneously known under three names: Hittite,Mitanni, Hurri and Hanigalbat. All three names were equivalent and interchangeable," asserted Michael C. Astour.
Hittite annals mention a people called Hurri, located in north-eastern Syria (Western Kurdistan). A Hittite fragment, probably from the time of Mursili I, mentions a "King of the Hurri," or "Hurrians." The Assyro-Akkadian version of the text renders "Hurri" as Hanigalbat. Tushratta, who styles himself "king of Mitanni" in his Akkadian Amarna letters, refers to his kingdom as Hanigalbat.
