Ancient Egypt receives intel of a mounting threat in Canaan, so pharaoh Thutmose III leads his first military expedition into Canaan to face a great force of Syrians, Canaanites, and other allies gathered under the Prince of Kadesh. The outcome of the battle will shape the course of Egyptian history. —------ ART & SCRIPT The art is original and manually made by @Joseph_Feely Art process explained: https://youtu.be/Dt2qmxuewSw?si=EWG8yvR0t1-eC5T- Script is researched, written and narrated by Chris Feely.
