Aplahanda
Aplahanda (died c. 1765 BC) was a king of Carchemish proposed to have reigned between 1786 and 1765 BC, during the early Middle Bronze IIA (c. 1820-1750 BC).
His daughter called Matrunna is also known; she had a non-Semitic, possibly Hurrian name. His other son was Yahdul-Lim.
Aplahanda had a long reign spanning several decades.
In Anatolia, Aplahanda conducted trade throught the Assyrian Trade Network with Kanesh (Level Ib). At Acemhöyük (Anatolia), bullae the Sarıkaya Palace yielded 15 impressions of two seals belonging to Aplahanda of Carchemish.
He was allied with Shamshi-Adad I in a war against Sumu-Epuh of Aleppo (Yamhad) that was unsuccessful. Around 1776 BC (REL 197), the Death of Shamshi-Adad I occurred in Year 18 of Hammurabi of Babylon. This significantly changed the power dynamics in the region.
The Fall of Mari saw Shamshi-Adad I install his son Yasmah-Adad on the throne of Mari. Aplahanda corresponded with Yasmah-Adad.
Mari Archive (ARM V (Archives Royales de Mari, Volume 5):
Around 1775 BC, following the death of Shamshi-Adad I, Aplahanda established close relations with Zimri-Lim of Mari, addressing each other's as "brothers" (ahu; equal status, peers). This enabled trade to flourish from Carchemish downstream the Euphrates to Mari.
