Okay, here’s the text from the provided HTML snippet, formatted for readability and focusing on the information about the lost cities:
Waššukanni
Waššukanni was the capital city of the Mitanni empire, which existed between roughly 1550 B.C. and 1300 B.C. and included parts of northeastern Syria, southern Anatolia and northern Iraq. It faced intense competition from the hittite empire in the north and the Assyrian empire in the south and its territory was gradually lost to them.
Waššukanni has never been found and some scholars think that it might potentially be located in northeastern Syria. The people who lived in the capital, and indeed throughout much of its empire, were known as the “Hurrians” and they had their own language which is known today from ancient texts.
Thinis
(The snippet includes an image of the Narmer Palette, but doesn’t provide much information about Thinis itself within this excerpt.)
