| Abstract | ||||
| The New Kingdom had been refounded by military power, and the King recrowned Lord of the North and South amid the crash of arms resounding throughout the land. The army was therefore organized and maintained on a footing, which had never previously been attempted. The expulsion of the Hyksos by Aahmes had been followed by pursuit into Syria. The impulse and the temptation were all-sufficient, and the army of Thothmes the first penetrated, as it seems, to Aleppo. The tomb Biography of Ahmose son of Ebana presented a campaign under taken by the personal valor of Ahmose son of Ebana during the region of Thutmos Π.[1] In p. Anastasi I, 23, 6, a prince named kdrdy was attacked by a wild animal (htmt) in a narrow pass infested by Shasu here refers to Syrian Bedouins[2] (people), The determinative indicates that they were a nomadic, pastoral paople in southern Palastine. In p. Anastasi, 19, 1-2, “ you have not gone to the region (where) the Shasu (are)? With the host of the army”.[3] During the reign of Hatshepsut, there were no military activities in western Asia because she received the tribute and presents which broughfor Syria a short tranquillity. This hiatus might be expanded to include the preceding reign of Thutmose II, who sent merely a punitive expedition against the Shasu in the Negeb.[4] Redford thought that all things have conspired to involve Pharaoh even more deeply in the affairs of western Asia; and if in fact Egypt did withdraw, the reason lies in its own internal condition.[5] During the reign of Thoutmosis III, he led a campaign against the Shasu Bedouins.[6] Fig (1) [1] Spalinger, A.J., Aspects of the Military Documents of the Ancient Egyptians, New Haven and London, 1982, 129-133;Giveon, R., LÄ, V, 533; URK, IV, 36:13; Qauthier, H., Dictionnaire des Noms Geographiques, Tome V, 106.
