Kadesh (Ancient Battle Music - The Battle of Kadesh)

Composed by Tyler Cunningham
The Battle of Kadesh (1275 BC) was a major battle fought between the Egyptians under Ramses II and the Hittites under Muwatallis, in Syria, southwest of Ḥimṣ, on the Orontes River. In one of the world’s largest chariot battles, Pharaoh Ramses II sought to wrest control of Syria from the Hittites and recapture the Hittite-held city of Kadesh. There was a day of carnage as some 5,000 chariots charged into the fray, but no outright victor. The battle led to the world’s first recorded peace treaty.

No doubt this is 100% worthy of representing the most astounding clash of civilizations of the late Bronze Age:
The Egyptian New kingdom under the XIX dynasty led by Ramesses II the great, pharaoh of the Nile vs the great Hittite new kingdom led by Muwatallis, master of Anatolia. Just epic.

I have been in the service of Pharaoh for many, many years. It is my task to write down all that is decided. My father did this before me and his father before him. We have fatefully recorded and seen much. Pharaoh is our lord and master. He is Horus reborn and will be Osiris in the afterlife. All of Egypt lives and dies by His divine wish. And this is at should be. We are His children; Pharaoh loves us all. We would conquer the world so that all can know His wise rule. Even if Pharaoh did not ask this, we would do it. His enemies will be struck down; night and darkness will take them. The sands will be stained red. All this will come to pass for Pharaoh has decreed it.

So it is written, So shall it be...

In the golden age of Hollywood with its epic films by William Wyler or Cecil B. de Mille, this beautiful music could be used as a soundtrack I think even Micklos Rosza would agree with me, great job !!

Great soundscapes, beautiful melodies and chord progressions. Excellent production, what softwares/libraries did you used to create this?

Some of the Hittites look a bit like Native Americans especially those who don't have beards.
