Ugarit contained many caches of <a href="/wiki/Cuneiform" title="Cuneiform">cuneiform</a> tablets inside of libraries that contained a wealth of valuable information. The destruction levels of the ruin contained Late Helladic IIIB pottery ware, but no LH IIIC (see <a href="/wiki/Mycenaean_period" class="mw-redirect" title="Mycenaean period">Mycenaean period</a>). Therefore, the date of the destruction of Ugarit is crucial for the dating of the LH IIIC phase in <a href="/wiki/Mainland_Greece" class="mw-redirect" title="Mainland Greece">mainland Greece</a>. Since an Egyptian sword bearing the name of pharaoh <a href="/wiki/Merneptah" title="Merneptah">Merneptah</a> was found in the destruction levels, 1190 BC was taken as the date for the beginning of the LH IIIC. A cuneiform tablet found in 1986 shows that Ugarit was destroyed sometime after the death of Merneptah (1203 BC). It is generally agreed that Ugarit had already been destroyed by the eighth year of <a href="/wiki/Ramesses_III" title="Ramesses III">Ramesses III</a> (1178 BC). Recent radiocarbon work, combined with other historical dates and the eclipse of January 21, 1192, indicates a destruction date between 1192 and 1190 BC.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/Bay_(chancellor)" title="Bay (chancellor)">Bay</a>, an official of the Egyptian queen <a href="/wiki/Twosret" class="mw-redirect" title="Twosret">Twosret</a>, in a tablet (RS 86.2230) found at Ras Shamra, was in communication with <a href="/wiki/Ammurapi" title="Ammurapi">Ammurapi</a>, the last ruler of Ugarit.
