Summary
Description Flickr - archer10 (Dennis) - Egypt-3B-036.jpg | Two great obelisks use to mark the front of the Luxor temple. They record the success of Rameses II at the battle of Kadesh (in Syria in 1285 BC). This was a stand-off as far as the battle was concerned, but it stopped Hittite expansion into Palestine then under Egyptian control, by signing the first treaty in history. Only one obelisk remains in Egypt, the French removed the other to Paris in 1836. Luxor, Egypt |
