EDITORS COMMENTS
This terracotta print depicts the Kadesh Treaty, an ancient peace accord signed between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Hittite King Hattusilis III in 1269 BC. The treaty, one of the earliest known international agreements, was inscribed on both the Egyptian and Hittite versions to ensure parity and mutual understanding. This particular version, originating from Hattusas (now Bogazkoy) in modern-day Turkey and currently housed in the Archaeological Museum in Istanbul, Turkey, is the Hittite rendition. The intricately carved details of the treaty reveal the negotiation and letter exchanges between the two powerful rulers, illustrating their commitment to maintaining peace between their empires. The Akkadian scripture, an ancient language used in the region during the imperial period, is clearly visible in the inscriptions. The Battle of Kadesh, which preceded the treaty, marked a significant turning point in ancient history. The Egyptian forces, led by Ramesses II, clashed with the Hittites under Hattusilis III in the Syrian city of Kadesh. Despite the initial defeat of the Egyptians, Ramesses II managed to secure a peace agreement, ensuring the survival of his empire and the continuation of diplomatic relations with the Hittites. This terracotta print offers a glimpse into the rich history of ancient civilizations and the complex diplomatic negotiations that shaped the ancient world. The Kadesh Treaty stands as a testament to the enduring importance of peace and cooperation between nations, even in the most contentious of times.
