1473 BCE to 1462 BCE
Egypt assumes control of the Canaanite seaport of Jaffa, whose natural harbor has been occupied since the Bronze Age.
It is mentioned in an Ancient Egyptian letter from 1470 BCE, glorifying its conquest by Thutmose III two years earlier, who had hidden armed warriors in large baskets and given the baskets as a present to the city's governor.
Thutmose has made the city a provincial capital.
