EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking relief depicts Pharaoh Ramesses II (13th century BC, New Kingdom, 19th Dynasty) in the midst of the Battle of Kadesh, which took place in northern Syria around 1274 BC. Ramesses II is shown galloping on his chariot, with his charioteer skillfully guiding the horses. The Pharaoh wears the Blue Crown of Egypt and holds a bow and arrow, ready to engage the enemy. The Battle of Kadesh was a pivotal moment in Egyptian history, as it marked the first recorded instance of a pharaoh leading his army in battle and returning victorious. This relief is a testament to the great military prowess and artistic achievements of the ancient Egyptian civilization. The intricate details of the relief, including the textured skin of the horses and the muscular forms of the figures, demonstrate the masterful craftsmanship of the artisans who created it. The relief was originally located in the Temple of Luxor in Egypt, and is now a valuable artifact in the annals of human history.
