Hittites and Egyptians clash over Syrian city of Kadesh

[AsylumSeaker]

Shit, son. 70,000 soldiers involved. I wonder if this will escalate or be a destabilising action in the region. Will the unrest in Canaan now become rebellion? Will Assyria take advantage of Hatti's distraction and move to secure more land; Will the Syrians, so eager to reverse their earlier defeats take this opportunity for revenge? Stay tuned.

What makes Kadesh so great, anyway?

[AsylumSeaker]

Not much really, it's just a middle eastern shithole like any other city in the area. However it's become a military focus due to it's position on the traditional border between Egypt and Hatti.

It's like a really manly soap opera.

70,000 soldiers is most likely an exaggeration.
