…the Hittites advance south to the region…

1281 BCE to 1270 BCE

…the Hittites advance south to the region of Damascus, halting the Egyptian resurgence into Syria. (The biased Egyptian version of the battle was recorded on numerous temples by Ramesses, incorrectly calling the battle an Egyptian victory instead of the draw it was in fact, but a Hittite version excavated at Boghazköy has enabled a truer assessment of the battle.)
