EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense moment of Ramesses II at the Battle of Kadesh, as he bravely faces off against the formidable army of Muwattali, King of the Hittites. The wall painting from the Temple of Ramesses II in Abu Simbel beautifully depicts this historic event during the Ramesside period. Surrounded by skilled Hittite charioteers, Ramesses fearlessly takes charge. With reins tied around his waist, he charges into battle not once or twice but six times, displaying unparalleled heroism and determination. His unwavering spirit ultimately leads to victory in this fierce clash. The image showcases a magnificent chariot with rearing horses that symbolize power and strength. As Pharaoh and king, Ramesses exemplifies leadership qualities as he fearlessly attacks his opponents head-on. The scene is filled with energy and tension as both sides confront each other in a fight for dominance. This artwork also highlights the significance of animals in ancient warfare. Charioteers skillfully maneuver their horses amidst chaos while engaging in combat. These majestic creatures play an integral role alongside their human counterparts on this battlefield. The print serves as a testament to Ramses' military prowess and strategic brilliance during one of Egypt's most renowned battles. It immortalizes a pivotal moment where history was shaped through conflict and confrontation between two powerful forces – forever etching Ramesses II's name among Egypt's greatest pharaohs.
