Egyptian Account of the Battle of Kadesh (Ramesseum)
Following is the text known as the "Poem of the Pentaur".
Beginning of the victory of King Usermare-Setepnere Ramses II, who
is given life, forever, which he achieved in the land of Kheta and
Naharin, in the land of Arvad, in Pedes, in the Derden, in the land
of Mesa, in the land of Kelekesh, Carchemish, Kode, the land of
Kadesh, in the land of Ekereth, and Mesheneth.
Behold, his majesty prepared his infantry and his chariotry, the
Sherden of the captivity of his majesty from the victories of his
word - they gave the plan of battle. His majesty proceeded
northward, his infantry and his chariotry being with him. He began
the goodly way to march. Year 5, the second month of the third
season tenth month, on the ninth day, his majesty passed the
fortress of Tharu, like Montu when he goes forth. Every country
trembled before him, fear was in their hearts; all the rebels came
bowing down for fear of the fame of his majesty, when his army came
upon the narrow road, being like one who is upon the highway.
Now, after many days after this, behold, his majesty was in
Usermare-Meriamon, the city of cedar. His majesty proceeded
northward, and he then arrived at the highland of Kadesh. Then his
majesty marched before, like his father, Montu lord of Thebes, and
crossed over the channel of the Orontes, there being with him the
first division of Amon named:
"Victory-of-King-Usermare-Setepnere."
When his majesty reached the city, behold, the wretched, vanquished
chief of Kheta had come, having gathered together all countries
from the ends of the sea to the land of Kheta, which came entire:
the Naharin likewise, and Arvad, Mesa, Keshkesh, Kelekesh, Luka,
Kezweden, Carchemish, Ekereth, Kode, the entire land of Nuges,
Mesheneth, and Kadesh. He left not a country which was not brought
together with their chiefs who were with him, every man bringing
his chariotry, an exceeding great multitude, without its like. They
covered the mountains and the valleys; they were like grasshoppers
with their multitudes. He left not silver nor gold in his land but
he plundered it of all its possessions and gave to every country,
in order to bring them with him to battle.
Behold, the wretched, vanquished chief of Kheta, together with
numerous allied countries, were stationed in battle array,
concealed on the northwest of the city of Kadesh, while his majesty
was alone by himself, with his bodyguard, and the division of Amon
was marching behind him. The division of Re crossed over the
river-bed on the south side of the town of Shabtuna, at the
distance of an iter from the division of Amon; the division of Ptah
was on the south of the city of Aranami; and the division of Sutekh
was marching upon the road. His majesty had formed the first rank
of all the leaders of his army, while they were on the shore in the
land of the Amor. Behold, the wretched vanquished chief of Kheta
was stationed in the midst of the infantry which was with him, and
he came not out to fight, for fear of his majesty. Then he made to
go the people of the chariotry, an exceedingly numerous multitude
like the sand, being three people to each span. Now, they had made
their combinations thus: among every three youths was one man of
the vanquished of Kheta, equipped with all the weapons of battle.
Lo, they had stationed them in battle array, concealed northwest of
the city of Kadesh.
They came forth from the southern side of Kadesh, and they cut
through the division of Re in its middle, while they were marching
without knowing and without being drawn up for battle. The infantry
and chariotry of his majesty retreated before them. Now, his
majesty had halted on the north of the city of Kadesh, on the
western side of the Orontes. Then came one to tell it to his
majesty.
His majesty shone like his father Montu, when he took the
adornments of war; as he seized his coat of mail, he was like Baal
in his hour. The great span which bore his majesty called:
"Victory-in-Tebes," from the great stables of Ramses II, was in the
midst of the leaders. His majesty halted in the rout; then he
charged into the foe, the vanquished of Kheta, being alone by
himself and none other with him. When his majesty went to look
behind him, he found 2,500 chariotry surrounding him, in his way
out, being all the youth of the wretched Kheta, together with its
numerous allied countries: from Arvad, from Mesa, from Pedes, from
Keshkesh, from Erwenet, from Kezweden, from Aleppo, Eketeri,
Kadesh, and Luka, being three men to a span, acting in
unison.
Year 5, third month of the third season, day 9; under the majesty
of Horus: Mighty Bull, Beloved of Truth; King of Upper and Lower
Egypt: Usermare-Setepnere; Son of Re; Ramses-Meriamon, given life
forever.
Lo, his majesty was in Zahi on his second victorious campaign. The
goodly watch in life, prosperity and health, in the tent of his
majesty, was on the highland south of Kadesh.
When his majesty appeared like the rising of Re, he assumed the
adornments of his father, Montu. When the king proceeded northward,
and his majesty had arrived at the locality south of the town of
Shabtuna, there came two Shasu, to speak to his majesty as follows:
"Our brethren, who belong to the greatest of the families with the
vanquished chief of Kheta, have made us come to his majesty, to
say: 'We will be subjects of Pharaoh and we will flee from the
vanquished chief of Kheta; for the vanquished chief of Kheta sits
in the land of Aleppo, on the north of Tunip. He fears because of
Pharaoh to come southward.'" Now, these Shasu spake these words,
which they spake to his majesty, falsely, for the vanquished chief
of Kheta made them come to spy where his majesty was, in order to
cause the army of his majesty not to draw up for fighting him, to
battle with the vanquished chief of Kheta.
Lo, the vanquished chief of Kheta came with every chief of every
country, their infantry and their chariotry, which he had brought
with him by force, and stood, equipped, drawn up in line of battle
behind Kadesh the Deceitful, while his majesty knew it not. Then
his majesty proceeded northward and arrived on the northwest of
Kadesh; and the army of his majesty made camp there.
Then, as his majesty sat upon a throne of gold, there arrived a
scout who was in the following of his majesty, and he brought two
scouts of the vanquished chief of Kheta. They were conducted into
the presence, and his majesty said to them: "What are ye?" They
said: "As for us, the vanquished chief of the Kheta has caused that
we should come to spy out where his majesty is."
Said his majesty to them: "He! Where is he, the vanquished chief of
Kheta? Behold, I have heard, saying: 'He is in the land of
Aleppo,'" Said they: "See, the vanquished chief of Kheta is
stationed, together with many countries, which he has brought with
him by force, being every country which is in the districts of the
land of Kheta, the land of Naharin, and all Kode. They are equipped
with infantry and chariotry, bearing their weapons; more numerous
are they than the sand of the shore. See, they are standing, drawn
up for battle, behind Kadesh the Deceitful."
Then his majesty had the princes called into the presence, and had
them hear every word which the two scouts of the vanquished chief
of Kheta, who were in the presence, had spoken. Said his majesty to
them: "See ye the manner wherewith the chiefs of the peasantry and
the officials under whom is the land of Pharaoh have stood, daily,
saying to the Pharaoh: 'The vanquished chief of Kheta is in the
land of Aleppo; he has fled before his majesty, since hearing that,
behold, he came.' So spake they to his majesty daily. But see, I
have held a hearing in this very hour, with the two scouts of the
vanquished chief of Kheta, to the effect that the vanquished chief
of Kheta is coming, together with the numerous countries that are
with him, being people and horses, like the multitudes of the sand.
They are stationed behind Kadesh the Deceitful. But the governors
of the countries and the officials under whose authority is the
land of Pharaoh were not able to tell it to us."
Said the princes who were in the presence of his majesty: "It is a
great fault, which the governors of the countries and the officials
of Pharaoh have committed in not informing that the vanquished
chief of Kheta was near the king; and in that they told his report
to his majesty daily."
Then the vizier was ordered to hasten the army of his majesty,
while they were marching on the south of Shabtuna, in order to
bring them to the place where his majesty was.
Lo, while his majesty sat talking with the princes, the vanquished
chief of Kheta came, and the numerous countries, which were with
him. They crossed over the channel on the south of Kadesh, and
charged into the army of his majesty while they were marching, and
not expecting it. Then the infantry and chariotry of his majesty
retreated before them, northward to the place where his majesty
was. Lo, the foes of the vanquished chief of Kheta surrounded the
bodyguard of his majesty, who were by his side.
When his majesty saw them, he was enraged against them, like his
father, Montu, lord of Thebes. He seized the adornments of battle,
and arrayed himself in his coat of mail. He was like Baal in his
hour. Then he betook himself to his horses, and led quickly on,
being alone by himself. He charged into the foes of the vanquished
chief of Kheta, and the numerous countries which were with him. His
majesty was like Sutekh, the great in strength, smiting and slaying
among them; his majesty hurled them headlong, one upon another into
the water of the Orontes.
