The Treaty of Kadesh was an ancient peace agreement signed around 1259 BCE between the Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and the Hittite King Hattusili III. This treaty marked the end of a long conflict over territory in the region of modern-day Syria. It is one of the earliest known peace treaties in history and was inscribed on a silver tablet. The treaty established boundaries between the two empires and included mutual defense clauses. Both leaders vowed to support each other against external threats, promoting stability in the region. The Treaty of Kadesh is significant for its role in diplomatic relations and its influence on future treaties.
