In 1274 BCE, the chariots of two great empires collided at Kadesh in a battle that became legendary for its scale and its aftermath. This episode explores the clash between Ramesses II of Egypt and Muwatalli II of the Hittites, focusing not just on the combat but on the diplomatic miracle that followed it. We examine the earliest known peace treaty in history, signed thirteen years later, which established a mutual defense pact between Cairo and Hattusa. Through the lens of cuneiform tablets found in both Egyptian and Hittite archives, we reconstruct how former enemies became allies against a common threat from Assyria. The conversation also touches on the propaganda of the Khattushili III and the role of Nefertari in cementing this alliance. You will learn about the specific terms of the treaty, the exchange of royal daughters, and why this document is considered the foundation of modern international law. It is a story of warfare, yes, but ultimately a story about the fragile, brilliant invention of diplomacy. #BattleOfKadesh #RamessesII #MuwatalliII #HittiteEmpire #EgyptianEmpire #TreatyOfKadesh #AncientDiplomacy #BronzeAgeCollapse #Cuneiform #Hieroglyphs #Hattusa #NileDelta #SyrianDesert #ChariotWarfare #KhattushiliIII #Nefertari #InternationalLaw #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
