Description

Fertile Crescent was one of the first regions human civilization started. Cultures of the Bronze Age fought over it for centuries and conflicts in this region now called the Middle East are still continuing. The war between Egypt and Hittites was one of the first recorded in history, and the battle of Kadesh of 1274 BC is probably the first we have a detailed account of. Both empires were vying for the dominance over this ancient city, and the engagement was bloody. Neither Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II or Hittite king Muwatalli II are considered great generals, but both them implemented some very interesting tactical maneuvers during this battle.

The research for this video is done by our friend Gumru M. We appreciate her help, as it allowed us to move forward with a very intriguing new project.

The Machinima for this video (good looking, not the ugly one :-) ) is created by our new friend – Malay Archer. Check out his channel, he has some of the best Total War machinimas ever created: https://www.youtube.com/user/MathemedicUpdates/videos

This video is narrated by our good friend Commissar Bro. He is a very talented voice actor, and we are really grateful to him and hope that you like his narration as much as we do. Check out his channel for great strategy Let's Plays: https://www.youtube.com/user/CommissarBRO and if you support us on Patreon, maybe, we will be able to start paying him. :-)

We have more documentaries on the way, with multiple scripts in the works, but we need your support to make creating them viable. Even the smallest patronage on the Patreon is important for us both financially and in terms of the moral support. So, here is the link: https://www.patreon.com/nurrrik_phoenix
