Ḫartapu was a late Hittite king who likely reigned in Tarḫuntašša.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 145.〕 He is known from Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions from Kizildağ, Karadağ, and Burunkaya near Aksaray.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 21 f.〕 Ḫartapu, who bore the titles great king and hero, states himself to be the son of another great king and hero named Muršili. This Muršili likely is identical to the Hittite great king Muršili III, better known under his birth name Urḫi-Teššub,〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 21 f.〕 who reigned the Hittite empire in 1272-1267 BC〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 310.〕 before being dethroned by his uncle Ḫattušili III.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 22.〕 When Ḫartapu is the son of Muršili III, he may have succeded his uncle Kurunta, the younger brother of Muršili III as king of Tarḫuntašša〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 28 f.〕 in the 2nd half of the 13th century BC.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 22.〕 Ḫartapu's use of royal titulation may have been similar to its use by to Kurunta, who also bore the titles great king and hero to demonstrate his right to the throne of Ḫattuša still occupied by the descendants of the ursurper Ḫattušili III. Those descendants of Ḫattušili II were Tudḫaliya IV during Kurunta's reign, and Šuppiluliuma II during Ḫartapu's reign. It is known that Šuppiluliuma II, last known great king of Ḫattuša and ursurper from Ḫartapu's point of view, conquered Tarḫuntašša during a military campain. This may have brought Ḫartapu's reign to an end. Tarḫuntašša may have been ruled by the great king of Ḫattuša again and collapsed together with the rest of the Hittite empire.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''. Oxford, New York 2012, p. 29.〕 Tarḫuntašša may but have survived the Hittite empire. Possible evidence is given by a Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription from Karahöyük in south-central Anatolia. In this inscriptiondated in the (later?) 12th century BC, a certain Armanani informs about a visit of a great king named Ir-Teššub in the land POCULUM, at which event the great king gave control of three cities within the country of POCULUM to Armanani. It is sure that Ir-Teššub was a great king, but his country is unknown. One hypothesis is that he was a great king of Carchemish and successor of Kuzi-Teššub. The other hypothesis is that he may in fact was a great king of Tarḫuntašša. This hypothesis bases on epigraphic similarities between the inscription from Karahöyük and the inscriptions of Ḫartapu. This would imply that the royal line represented by Ḫartapu continued at least to the early Iron Age.〔Trevor Bryce: ''The World of the Neo-Hittite Kingdoms: A Political and Military History''.
