5 King s Gate at Hattusha Represents ideals of Hittite Kingship strong muscles armed with sword and mace wearing helmet left arm in gesture of aggression or religious piety Battle of Kadesh Stalemate at Kadesh Ramesses finally retreats Ramesses receives a message from Muwatalli and decides to retreat According to the Egyptians, the "wretched, vanquished chief of Hatti" pleaded with the Pharaoh The land of Kemi, the land of Hatti, are at your service. They are under your feet. Re, your exalted father, gave them to you so you would rule us. Is it good, that you should kill your servants? 5
6 Egyptian Account of the Battle Ramesses claims to have won Muwatalli represents it as a victory for Hittites Reality: stalemate, but Hittites forced to pull back Battle of Qadesh on the south wall of the Hypostyle Hall and the Cour de la Cachette, Karnak Temple Kadesh Poem dialogue between royal shield bearer and Ramses II We stand alone in the midst of battle, abandoned by soldiers and chariotry....his Majesty said to his shield-bearer: Stand firm, steady your heart shield-bearer! I will chase them as a falcon pounces, I will slaughter, butcher, fling to the ground. Why do you fear these weaklings whose multitudes I disregard? His Majesty then rushed forward. At a gallop he charged the midst of the foe. For his sixth time he charged them. I was after them like Baal in his moment of power, I slew them without pause. 6
7 Poem of Pentaur Now then, his majesty had prepared his infantry, his chariotry, and the Sherden of his majesty's capturing,...in the Year 5, 2nd month of the third season, day 9, his majesty passed the fortress of Sile. [and entered Canaan]... The Poem of Pentaur No officer was with me, no charioteer, no soldier of the army, no shield-bearer... not one of my princes, of my chief men and my great, was with me, not a captain, not a knight; For my warriors and chariots had left me to my fate, Not one was there to take his part in fight.... Here I stand, all alone; There is no one at my side, My warriors and chariots afeared, Have deserted me, none heard My voice, when to the cravens I, their king, for succor, cried. But I find that Ammon's grace Is better far to me Than a million fighting men and ten thousand chariots be. The peace treaty was recorded in two versions Egyptian hieroglyphs Akkadian, using cuneiform script; fortunately, both versions survive. Such dual-language recording is common to many subsequent treaties. This treaty differs from others, however, in that the two language versions are differently worded. Although the majority of the text is identical, the Hittite version claims that the Egyptians came suing for peace, while the Egyptian version claims the reverse. The treaty was given to the Egyptians in the form of a silver plaque, and this "pocket-book" version was taken back to Egypt and carved into the Temple of Karnak.
