### q5 the Hittites may have conquered Cyprus
> The Hittite raid on Babylon took place around 1600 BCE, so presumably you were thinking of the Elamites under Šutruk-Naḫḫunte I. Regardless, the raid on Babylon was a unique event; never before had the Hittites ventured so far from central Anatolia, nor did they ever do so again. Raids of this sort have only a few parallels in Hittite history, most notably the supposed "conquest" of Cyprus under Tudḫaliya IV.
