Limestone relief showing Hittite soldiers, Temple of Abu Simbel, Egypt, 14th-13th century BC
Limestone relief showing Hittite soldiers, Temple of Abu Simbel, Egypt, 14th-13th century BC. The Hittites were a people whose empire covered much of Anatolia and northern Syria. They came into conflict with the Ancient Egyptians when, in the reign of Rameses II (1279-1213 BC) Egypt sought to expand its territory northwards. The two sides fought a major battle at Kadesh in 1275 BC, which the Egyptians recorded as having been a victory for them, although Hittite accounts of the outcome suggested it was inconclusive. With neither civilisation able to decisively defeat the other, Egypt and the Hittite empire concluded a peace treaty in 1258 BC

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable limestone relief found at the Temple of Abu Simbel in Egypt. Dating back to the 14th-13th century BC, this ancient artwork depicts Hittite soldiers, shedding light on a significant historical conflict between two powerful civilizations. The Hittites, known for their vast empire spanning Anatolia and northern Syria, clashed with the Ancient Egyptians during Rameses II's reign when Egypt sought to expand its territory northwards. The pivotal battle of Kadesh took place in 1275 BC and was recorded by the Egyptians as their victory. However, conflicting accounts from the Hittites suggested an inconclusive outcome. With neither side able to achieve a decisive victory over the other, Egypt and the Hittite empire eventually reached a peace treaty in 1258 BC. This artifact serves as a tangible reminder of this momentous event in history. The intricate details captured in this sculpture are awe-inspiring. The skillful craftsmanship brings these ancient warriors to life, showcasing their shields and military attire with precision. The vibrant colors used further enhance its visual impact. As we gaze upon this archaeological treasure, we are transported back thousands of years into a time when empires clashed and alliances were forged through diplomacy. It is through such artifacts that we gain insights into our shared human history and appreciate the artistry of past civilizations like the Hittites and Ancient Egyptians.
