In June of 1287 BCE (approximately), one of antiquity’s great conflicts unfolded in southern Syria. Meeting near Kadesh (Qidsha), the armies of Egypt and Hatti fought each other in a spectacular engagement. The events of that battle are recorded, somewhat grandiosely, by Ramesses II in temple art and extended hieroglyph narratives. With those as our foundation, we explore the most dramatic day in the young pharaoh’s life.

My apologies for any audio blips or inconsistencies in this episode. Alas, just as the recording was done (but before pickups / editing), my microphone started going on the fritz. With no time to replace it, I’m stuck with a slightly unsatisfying sound. As soon as practical, I plan to re-record this episode in a better environment.
