EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historic moment as Ramesses II, also known as Ramesses the Great, receives a copy of his treaty with the Hittites. This remarkable event is beautifully depicted in an illustration from Hutchinsons History of the Nations, published in 1915. The image transports us back to ancient Egypt during the reign of Ramesses II, who was the third pharaoh of the Nineteenth Dynasty. The painting by Allan Stewart showcases the grandeur and power associated with this legendary ruler. The treaty being presented to Ramesses II holds immense significance as it marks the earliest known peace treaty in world history. Known as the Egyptian-Hittite peace treaty or simply "the Eternal Treaty" it brought an end to a long and brutal war between these two great civilizations. As we gaze upon this scene, we can only imagine how monumental this moment must have been for both parties involved. The silver treaty symbolizes not only a cessation of hostilities but also a testament to diplomacy and cooperation between nations. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our shared human history and highlights one of its most pivotal moments. It captures both the awe-inspiring legacy left behind by Ramesses II and his role in shaping ancient Egypt's destiny alongside other influential leaders throughout time.
