We often think of diplomacy as a modern invention, but the world’s oldest known peace treaty was forged in the dust of the ancient Near East. In this episode, we travel to the court of Hattusili III and Ramses II to uncover the details of the Treaty of Kadesh. Signed around 1259 BCE, this agreement between Egypt and the Hittite Empire didn’t just end a stalemate at Kadesh; it established a framework for mutual defense, extradition of refugees, and non-aggression that held for decades. We examine the bilingual clay tablets found in Hattusa, compare the Egyptian hieroglyphic versions from temples like Karnak with the Akkadian cuneiform originals, and explore how two rival superpowers managed to turn former enemies into allies against a common threat: the rising power of Assyria. This is the story of political pragmatism written in stone. #TreatyOfKadesh #RamsesII #HattusiliIII #HittiteEmpire #AncientDiplomacy #EgyptianHistory #BronzeAgeCollapse #PeaceTreaty #Hattusa #AkkadianLanguage #Hieroglyphs #Cuneiform #AncientNearEast #MilitaryHistory #InternationalRelations #Archaeology #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
