Royal crypts prove ancestor cult and intense relationship with the major powers. Imperialist pharaohs Tuthmosis III and his son Amenophis showed Egypt's superpower-status, even raiding 120 of the Orestes valley swamp elephants Qatna seemed to have the hunting monopoly on. Yet the city wasn't burned by Egypt but its Hittite rival, whose iron weapons made their armies almost invincible. Written by KGF Vissers See less
