Suppiluliuma II was the last known king of the Hittite empire (New kingdom) 1207 BCE – c.1178 BCE. He is known from inscriptions in Hieroglyphic Luwian, which actually pronounce his name "Suppiluliama".[citation needed] They record wars against former vassal Tarhuntassa, and against Alasiya in Cyprus. His kingdom was destroyed by the invading Sea Peoples in the late 1170s BCE and his fate is unknown.
