( Battle of Kadesh)
Operative Egyptian defeat (campaign ends in Egyptian retreat)
Strategic Hittite victory (Hittite Empire expands southward to Upi) The Battle of Kadesh (also known as Battle of Qadesh, a more modern transliteration of the place name) took place between the forces of Ramesses II's Egypt and the Hittites of Muwatalli II at the city of Kadesh, the modern ruins and archaeological digs known as Tell Nebi Mend,[7] on the Orontes River of modern Syria. The battle is generally dated to 1274 BC, around Year 5 III Shemu day 9 of Ramesses II's reign when the Pharaoh arrived in the vicinity of Kadesh[8] (or more precisely May 12, 1274 BC based on Ramesses' commonly accepted accession date in 1279 BC). It was probably the largest chariot battle ever fought, involving perhaps 5,000—6,000 chariots. [9] After expelling the Hyksos 15th dynasty, the native Egyptian New Kingdom rulers became more aggressive in reclaiming control of their state's borders. Thutmose I, Thutmose III and his son and coregent Amenhotep II fought battles from Megiddo North to the Orontes river, including conflict with Kadesh.
