A Bronze Age kingdom located somewhere in the Aegean region. The Hittite rulers called the rulers of Ahhiyawa "Great King", suggesting that they were equals rather than vassals. The location of Ahhiyawa is unknown; however, most scholars believe that Ahhiyawa is the Hittite word for Achaeans, pre-Doric Greeks, and that Ahhiyawa can be regarded as the loose confederation of Mycenean-age Greek cities.
