Military campaign of Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Seti I in Syria.
January 1289 BC: In his first regnal year, pharaoh Seti I led his armies along the "Horus Military road," the coastal road that went from the Egyptian city of Tjaru in the northeast of the Nile Delta along the northern coast of the Sinai peninsula ending in the town of "Canaan" in the modern Gaza strip. The campaign continued into Lebanon where the pharaoh received the submission of local chiefs.
Conquest of Kadesh by Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Seti I.
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.
