The identification of Tell el Fakhariya with Washukanni
The Neo-Assyrian city of Sikan is identified with the Hurrian capital of Mitanni; Washukanni. The name is believed to be a later Assyrianized version from its Hurrian, or Indo-Aryan, original into (Wa-)Sikan(-ni). The site has not been fully excavated and no discoveries from the Hurrian occupation of the site have yet been found.
Washukanni
Washukanni, or Waššukanni (also spelled Washshukanni, Wassuganni, Vasukhani, or a combination of these variants) was the capital of the Hurrian kingdom of Mitanni from c.1500 BC. The name is similar to the Sanskrit phrase for "a mine of wealth."
Washukanni flourished as a capital city for two centuries. The city is known to have been sacked by the Hittites under Suppiluliumas I who installed a Hurrian vassal king, Shattiwaza. The city was sacked again by the Assyrian king Adad-nirari I around 1290 BC, but very little else is known of its history.
Sikan
The ancient Neo-Assyrian city of Sikan is on the southern edge of the mound at Ras el 'Ayn. Its location is near the modern-day Tell el Fakhariya, where a famous Neo-Assyrian statue of Adadit'i, the king of Guzana and Sikan was discovered in the 1970s.
