Hello everyone !!!!
Today we are going to tell all of you about Ancient Egypt:
Conflicts and Contacts
Conquests and Trade
- The Nile River was important trade route for the Egyptains, not only to transport goods within Egypt, but to travel distant places.
- Another trading route was created when the Egyptians cut a canal through to Nubia.
- During later dynasties the Egyptains became skilled ship-builders, which allowed them to trade with countries around the Mediterranean Sea.
- Over the years trade relationships were formed with many countries keen to acquire the bountiful food that was grown in Egypt.

TRade
The first armies of Ancient Egypt were established to make sure that Egypt did not splinter apart. Later, armies were sent out to acquire land and resources.
Egypt benefited from the wealth it accumulated by conquering other nations, and by learning about the battle techniques and weapons of its enemies.
For example, the chariot and composite bow were introduced after the Egyptians witnessed their usefulness in battles againts the Hyksos.
Military conquests
The New Kingdom is also known as the Age of Conquests because at the time Egypt became more powerful empire and expanded its territories.
Massive armies became common and a powerful navy was created to protect the Nile River.
It became common to recruit foreign paid soldiers, known as mercenaries, as they were believed to be more rehable and less open to corruption.

- The battle between the Egyptians and the Hittites at Kadesh – 1274 BCE – was the largest recorded chariot battle in history. In this battle, Rameses split his army into four corps.
- Each march 10 kilometres apart, which meant they could not support one another because of distance.
- One group, led by Rameses, captured two men who deceived them by saying that the Hittites had fled the city. The Egyptians then went on towards the city but were ambushed and had to retreat from Kadesh under attack.
- Rameses sent messengers warning of the trap and his soldiers arrived by boat, fighting furiously and causing the Hittites to flee for the safety of Kadesh.
