On this day, the Battle of Megiddo was fought between Egyptian forces under the command of Pharaoh Thutmose III and a large rebellious coalition of Canaanite vassal states led by the king of Kadesh. It is the first battle to have been reliably recorded with details of the battle coming from the hieroglyphic writings on the Hall of Annals in the Temple of Amun-Re at Karnak, Thebes, by the military scribe Tjaneni. The Canaanite forces, routed by the Egyptians, fled to safety in the city of Megiddo where they were besieged by the Egyptians for seven months before capitulating. Thutmose’s success was the start of a reign in which Egypt reached its greatest expanse as an empire.
