Taite


Taite was one of the capitals of the Mitanni Empire. Its exact location is still unknown, although it is speculated to be in the Khabur region. The site of Tell Hamidiya has recently been identified with ancient Taite by the Italian scholar Mirjo Salvini.
During the Fall of the Mitanni Empire, the conquering Assyrian ruler Adad-Nirari slaughtered the inhabitants. He sowed the grounds with salt.
