Wikipedia, "Mursili II"

Wikipedia, accessed 2026

A community-maintained tertiary reference on the Hittite king Mursili II, directly examined. Its strength is a precise reign date and a named catalog reference for his plague prayers; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Hittitology monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
