The correct answer is Ugarit
One of the most important ancient cities in the Near East.
Located on a hill known as Ras Xamra, on the Mediterranean coast of what is now northern Syria, Ugarit was a thriving cosmopolitan city in the second millennium BCE. Its territory extended for some 60 kilometers, from Mount Casius, in the north, to Tell Sukas, in the south, and for some 30 to 45 kilometers, from the Mediterranean in the west, to the valley of Orontes, in the east.
Cattle did well in Ugarit's temperate climate. The region produced cereals, olive oil, wine and wood - a scarce product in Mesopotamia and Egypt. In addition, the city was at the crossroads of strategic trade routes that made it one of the first major international ports. In Ugarit, traders from the Aegean, Anatolia, Babylon, Egypt and other parts of the Middle East traded metals, agricultural products and a large number of local products.
Despite its material prosperity, Ugarit has always been a vassal kingdom. The city was the northernmost point of the Egyptian Empire until it was incorporated into the secular Hittite empire in the 14th century BCE. Ugarit had to pay a tribute and provide troops to those who dominated it. When “Maritime Peoples” * began plundering Anatolia (in central Turkey) and northern Syria, the Hittites requisitioned Ugarit's troops and fleet. As a result, Ugarit itself was helpless and was completely destroyed around 1200 BCE.
