Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the simulation the Egyptian tactical maneuver will have three phases, the first being the establishment of divisive defensive devices; the second is the erosion and, if possible, the destruction of most enemy forces; and finally the third the conquest of Kadesh fortress. Within each division the light regiment (chariots), acting as a covering force, will avoid engaging and will make intense use of its firepower (bow and arrows) at a distance (2 hexes - up to 400 meters); and the infantry brigades, acting as protective forces, will form squares around the archers, allowing them to fire (as above) on the approaching enemy for the assault.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle of Kadesh is one of the best known in history because it was the first that could be faithfully reconstructed in detail, based on records on both sides of the confrontation. Involving the Egyptians under Ramesses II, one of the best known pharaohs, and the Hittites (most allies) under King Muwattali, this battle for control of Syrian territory in the Levant has received considerable attention by many analysts over the years. In the simulation, the operational strategic surprise that the Hittites had reached when they first arrived at the selected battle site and the tactical surprise of the sudden appearance of a violent charge of their chariots on the flank of one of the Egyptian divisions will be followed by a more decisive Hittite infantry presence, accompaniment and support. The Hittite tactical maneuver will have two phases, the first being the destruction of the Ra Division and the conquest of the Egyptian encampment; and the second a mobile defense against the other Egyptian divisions.

Book excerpt: The earliest battle in history which can be reconstructed in detail, Qadesh pitted the two great warriors of the age against each other, Muwatallish of Hatti and the great warrior-Pharaoh Rameses II. With the Hittites gaining the initial advantage, all seemed lost until Rameses himself led his personal followers into the fray. However, in spite of the appearance of Egyptian reinforcements, the bravery of the pharaoh and the tactically superior showing of the Egyptian chariotry, the dislocation of his army frustrated the Pharaoh's wider strategic aspirations. Mark Healy recounts the course of this key battle, which could so easily have gone either way. Perhaps history's first great battle (and certainly the first for which there is detailed documentary evidence) it pitted the two great warriors of the age against each other, Muwatallish of Hatti and the great warrior-Pharaoh Rameses II. Egypt's revival under the New Kingdom pharoahs was bound to bring her into conflict with her neighbour and in the event this key battle could have gone either way. With the Hittites gaining the initial advantage by surprising the Egyptians all seemed lost until Rameses himself led his personal followers into the fray throwing back the Hittite chariots. However, in spite of the appearance of Egyptian reinforcements, the bravery of the pharaoh and the tactically superior showing of the Egyptian chariotry, the dislocation of his army dashed the Pharaoh's wider strategic aspirations. In spite of their success in stopping the Hittites destroying their camp at Amun and killing their Pharaoh, the Egyptians are considered to have lost the battle of Qadesh. In this Osprey Campaign title Mark Healy recounts the course of the battle and explains its effect on the political situation of the ancient world. His detailed text is superbly backed up by well chosen illustrations and photographs, including the pictorial reliefs on Egyptian temple walls and photographs of the battlefield as it is today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa may have given rise to the first human beings, and Egypt probably gave rise to the first great civilizations, which continue to fascinate modern societies across the globe nearly 5,000 years later. From the Library and Lighthouse of Alexandria to the Great Pyramid at Giza, the ancient Egyptians produced several wonders of the world, revolutionized architecture and construction, created some of the world's first systems of mathematics and medicine, and established language and art that spread across the known world. With famous leaders like King Tut and Cleopatra, it's no wonder that today's world has so many Egyptologists. Many battles fought in antiquity remain famous thousands of years later, such as Marathon, Thermopylae, and Cannae, mainly due to the belligerents involved and the ways in which the battles changed the course of history. However, even as people are fascinated by the Egyptians, one of the most important battles in antiquity has also been one of the most overlooked: the Battle of Kadesh, fought by Ramesses II against the Hittites. Seeking to spread the area of Egypt's influence and control, Ramesses II led his first military campaign as pharaoh into Canaan in 1275 BCE. There were many battles fought during this campaign, but the one that is recorded in most detail describes Ramesses II fighting one of the Canaanite princes. This prince was apparently wounded by an arrow before his army was broken and routed by the Egyptian force. In the aftermath of the battle, the other princes of Canaan were made prisoners by Ramesses II, captured, and sent back to Egypt as their lands were plundered by the pharaoh's troops. Cowed by Egypt's military power, these vassal lands were thereafter forced to provide tribute to Egypt every year, which Ramesses II received himself at ruling headquarters he set up for himself in Riblah. The Hittite vassal state of Amurru was another one of those captured on this military campaign, and the expansion of Egypt's forces into their territory was of great concern to the rulers of the Hittite Empire. Hittite forces posed a threat to Ramesses II and his ambitions, but his early military successes only led him to plan even further expansion for his empire. It was this expansionist attitude that would lead directly to the Battle of Kadesh in the fifth year of his reign. In order to achieve his dreams of conquest, Ramesses II needed a constant supply of trained forces and a vast cache of weapons. With his ambitions now clearly defined, the Pharaoh set about creating an industry of war after setting up a new capital he dubbed Pi-Ramesses. This military industry was primarily set up to support another planned campaign into Hittite territory; the capital of Pi-Ramesses was located to the northeast of Cairo in the region of the Nile delta, inland from Tanis and the Mediterranean Sea, and the position of the city itself was possibly motivated by military reasoning. The main battle of the campaign took place outside the moderately important city of Kadesh, which was located in modern Syria. Although Egyptologists, historians, and archaeologists of the ancient Near East are quite familiar with the battle, outside of a few references in films that concern Exodus, it has failed to capture the popular imagination, despite its critical importance. For one thing, it is the earliest known pitched battle to be documented, and the number of troops deployed by both the Egyptians and Hittites may have made it the largest battle ever fought up until that point in time. The organization of the forces, especially the Egyptians, is another intriguing aspect of this battle, because the Egyptians organized their units into divisions, which may be the first such case in history or simply the first time the organization was recorded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in the 1940s and widely condemned as obscene, The Egyptian outsold every other American novel published that same year, and remains a classic; readers worldwide have testified to its life-changing power. It is a full-bodied re-creation of a largely forgotten era in the world’s history: an Egypt when pharaohs contended with the near-collapse of history’s greatest empire. This epic tale encompasses the whole of the then-known world, from Babylon to Crete, from Thebes to Jerusalem, while centering around one unforgettable figure: Sinuhe, a man of mysterious origins who rises from the depths of degradation to get close to the Pharoah...

Book Synopsis The Makings of an Event by : Lindsey June McCandless
Download or read book The Makings of an Event written by Lindsey June McCandless and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the packaging and presentation of the Battle of Kadesh as a meaningful Event to both a local Egyptian and a wider Near Eastern audience at pivotal moments in time. In 1275 BCE the Egyptian pharaoh, Ramses II, faced off against the Hittite king, Muwatalli, at the northern Levantine citadel of Kadesh along the border between the two great empires. This confrontation remains one of the most well studied battles of pre-classical times as a result of the lavish attention with which Ramses II commemorated it upon his temple walls in Egypt. Still visible today at Abu Simbel, Abydos, Karnak, Luxor, and the Ramesseum are the monumental reliefs depicting Ramses II charging into the chaotic fray of combat on his chariot. All around him Egyptian troops attack the Hittite army beside the Orontes River, which circumscribes the fortified citadel of Kadesh. Event is capitalized in this dissertation to refer to the ongoing construction and understanding of the Battle of Kadesh as embedded within specific social contexts. Such an approach emphasizes the temporal duration of Events, arguing that a crucial component of Events is their continued resonance in the material (archaeological and/or historical) record. This dissertation focuses upon three encounters with the Battle of Kadesh reliefs through time to demonstrate the Battle's Event-status: The initial carving of the Battle of Kadesh reliefs on the temple walls of the Ramesseum during the reign of Ramses II; the later addition to the Ramesseum of the Egyptian-Hittite peace treaty negotiated in the twenty-first year of Ramses II's reign; and lastly, the Neo-Assyrian army's encounter with this corpus on their campaign in the Theban region during the seventh century BCE. This dissertation argues that the physicality of the reliefs has the effect of creating (as opposed to reflecting) the Battle of Kadesh. In asking how the internal elements of the reliefs communicate with one another and how the reliefs communicate with their surrounding environment, this study demonstrates that meaning is constantly negotiated through the broader social, ideological, and physical world. In so doing, it recognizes the role the reliefs play as active participants in various social and temporal settings, and it evaluates their efficacy as imperialistic and diplomatic tools utilized during the reign of Ramses II and the reigns of the Neo-Assyrian kings in constructing royal ideologies. Chapters 5-7 of this dissertation landscape the reliefs at the aforementioned moments in time in order to examine their shifting resonances. This includes a description of the permanent changes to the physical landscape of the Ramesseum (such as the addition of the Silver Tablet Treaty to the temple walls or the weathering of the stone surfaces), as well as the appearance of temporary objects (such as festival accouterment) that would impact how the reliefs mean to different audiences. Likewise each chapter describes the cultural and political expectations of each audience in order to demonstrate that Events comprise the encounter between both the landscape of the relief corpus and the different audiences that visit them. These diverse encounters reveal precisely how much an Event's meaning can change through time, highlighting how modern historical reconstructions of the Battle of Kadesh are just one more stage in the Event's making.
