Kizzuwatna
Kizzuwatna (or Kizzuwadna; in Ancient Egyptian Kode or Qode) was an ancient Anatolian kingdom, attested in written sources from the end of the 16th century BC onwards, but though its origins are still obscure, the Middle Bronze Age in Cilicia (ca. 2000–1550 BC) can be seen as its possible formative period.[1] Kisuwatna was situated mostly in the Cilician Plain of southeastern Anatolia,[2] near the Gulf of İskenderun, in modern-day Turkey. The Central Taurus Mountains and the Amanus Mountains encircled it. The centre of the kingdom was the city of Kummanni, in the highlands.

Since the origins of the kingdom itself are obscure, this work also provides an overview of the Middle Bronze Age in Cilicia (ca. 2000–1550 BC) as this can be seen – potentially – as a formative period for Kizzuwatna."
