Lebrun, C. Présence et pouvoir hittites à Ougarit, 2014: p. 9 (Ougarit; Ras Shamra)

Wikipedia, viewed 25 February 2015 (Ugarit was an ancient port city, the ruins of which are located at what is now called Ras Shamra (sometimes written "Ras Shamrah", literally "Cape Fennel"), a headland in northern Syria ...; Ras Shamra lies on the Mediterranean coast, some 11 kilometres north of Latakia, near modern Burj al-Qasab; the first written evidence mentioning the city comes from the nearby city of Ebla, ca. 1800 BC when Ugarit passed into the sphere of influence of Egypt; it is generally agreed that Ugarit had already been destroyed by the 8th year of Ramesses III (1178 BC); recent radiocarbon work indicates a destruction date between 1192 and 1190 BC)
