  • January 1287 BC: Kadesh reverted to Hittite control because the Egyptians could not maintain a permanent military occupation of the area, which was close to the Hittite homelands. Pharaoh Seti I probably reached an agreement with the Hittite king Muwatalli on the precise boundaries of the Egyptian and Hittite Empires.
  • January 1286 BC: It seems that by the end of 1287 BC the Egyptians were again in control of the cities of Kadesh and Fenchu, located in an are disputed with the Hittite Empire.
