# Egyptian: Battle of Qadesh

🏷 Egyptian text interlinear · text — by Gerry · May 2025 · 13738 words

The Battle of Qadesh between Egyptians & Hittites is often touted as the greatest & best-documented battle of ancient times. In reality, it was a hoaxed battle, staged by the pharaoh to make himself look like a good leader in front of his subjects. It’s therefore probably the oldest documented terror hoax!

## Introduction

The Battle of Qadesh between the Egyptians under Ramesses II and the Hittites in the 13th century BC is said to be the oldest documented battle in human history, and also touted as the best documented and largest battle. Quite an event!

There are eight Egyptian inscriptions describing this battle, in multiple temple locations, all massive ones carved into the walls, and accompanied by battle scene reliefs. All use the very same text. In addition, there’s one shorter version also found on papyrus.

The official narrative is this: The Egyptian pharaoh, campaigning with his retinue, is approached by two bedouins allied with the Hittites. They say they want to defect, and claim the Hittite king has fled to Aleppo. But their betrayal is a feint: Two Hittite scouts are then caught, who confirm that the Hittite king really waits in nearby Qadesh, all battle-ready. While the pharaoh rails against his incompetent officials for not knowing this, and sends for his main army, the large Hittite force suddenly approaches, and the pharaoh’s outnumbered retinue wavers. The pharaoh, however, is taken by the stereotypical rage, dons his battle-gear, rushes the Hittite army alone, slays heaps of enemies, and saves the day. Hooray!

This already sounds like very one-dimensional propaganda, except for the slight twist at the beginning. It’s very suspicious that all historians treat the story like it really happened.

But as usual, the text is also pun-encrypted. The secret narrative tells how the Pharaoh fakes the battle with his own actors, to restore his subjects’ faith in him. No foreigners were involved. Instead, the actors were dressed-up so that they looked “more convincing than actual foreigners”. After everything is rehearsed and the actors are sworn to secrecy, the fake rebels appear at the scene, and the pharaoh dons his battle-gear and simply orders them to fall down. The subjects all fall for it, and the public image of the pharaoh as a great leader is restored. Yay!

(The text does not tell anything about the actual Egyptian relations to the Hittites. There may have also been some real war, or not. If there was, we can be sure that aristocrats were not really involved in any dangerous situation. They never are.)

Pun-wise, the text is rather complicated, mostly because things like “actor” and “theater” didn’t officially exist at the time, so there’s no official Egyptian vocabulary for it, much less for concepts like “hoaxing” or “play-enacting”. Rather, the official translations of words for fakery are often things like “shape”, “form”, “fashion”. Which I assume to stand for false shapes, forms & fashions.

The authors also spiced up their story with foreign Semitic place names like Qadesh, to give it a mysterious foreign-y feeling. But the names are all puns with Egyptian words explaining the hoax:

- ḏhj “Djahi” puns with dḥj “humiliation”. The pharaoh starts here.
- šbtn “Shabtuna” puns with sbj-jtn “hoax-rebellion”. The pharaoh proceeds here.
- ḫrb “Aleppo” puns with ḫrp “presentation”. This is where the enemy is supposed to be.
- nhrn “Naharina” perhaps puns with nḥr “resembling”. This is one origin of the enemies.
- qdj “Qadi” puns with qd “form”. This is another origin of the enemies.
- bˤr “Baal” puns with bˤr “fighter”. This is what the pharaoh suddenly looks like.
- jrnṯ “Orontes” perhaps puns with jr-ntˤ “arranged performance”. This is where the enemies die.
- qdšw-tȝ-jst “Qadesh-Ta-Izet” perhaps puns with qd-šw-thȝ-jst “empty form of violent rebels”. That is where the battle takes place.

Overall, this text isn’t the clearest example of pun-encryption. Still, there’s enough clean puns to show that it’s really about a hoax, especially the explanations at the beginning & end, that it’s all needed to make the pharaoh look good for his subjects.

If the dating of the inscriptions is roughly correct, then this means that hoaxed terror attacks were already a known trick in the aristocratic cookbook by the time of the Late Bronze Age Collapse. The “Sea People” attacks were then almost certainly a hoax too. Which means Egypt was not a victim of the collapse, if it even happened, but more likely among the perpetrators.
