Kingdom of Khana

The Kingdom of Khana or Kingdom of Hana (late 18th century BC – mid-17th century BC) was the Syrian kingdom from Hana Land in the middle Euphrates region north of Mari, which included the ancient city of Terqa.^[1] The kingdom emerged during the decline of the First Babylonian Dynasty. A newer view is that only the initial six rulers lived during that time and that after an interregnum, Khana re-emerged in the Middle Babylonian period under the last six kings.^[2] The Low Chronology dating scheme for Hana has gained much support.^[3] The kingdom was located in the middle Euphrates close to the junction of Khabur River. Its capital was the town of Terqa.
