Battle of Kadesh

The Battle of Kadesh took place between the forces of Ramesses II's Egypt and the Hittites of Muwatalli II at the city of Kadesh, the modern Tell Nebi Mend, on the Orontes River of modern Syria. The battle is generally dated to 1274 BC, around Year 5 III Shemu day 9 of Ramesses II's reign when the Pharaoh arrived in the vicinity of Kadesh (or more precisely May 12, 1274 BC based on Ramesses' commonly accepted accession date in 1279 BC). It was probably the largest chariot battle ever fought, involving perhaps 5,000 chariots.
