History
PeriodsBronze Age

Tunip (probably modern Tell 'Acharneh) was a city-state along the Orontes River in western Syria in the Bronze Age. It was large enough to be an urban center, but too small to be a dominant regional power. It was under the influence of various factions like the Mitanni, Egyptians, and Hittites.
