III. Read and translate the text in writing. Give a summary of the text. Peace treaty of Cadesh
Excerpts of the Peace Treaty between Ramses II and Hattusili III were found on walls of the Karnak Temple in Amon Egypt and engraved upon clay (the Babylonian version, found in Asia Minor). This peace treaty is the result of the “inconclusive” Battle of Kadesh (1286-1269 BC) and shared opposition from the Sea People and Assyrians toward both the Hittites and Egyptians. This peace treaty is the earliest recorded diplomatic document to date. Surprisingly, copies of both the Hittite and the Egyptian versions have been found, as well as a copy in the Akkadian language. The Egyptian version had been embellished with much praise to Ramses II , in keeping with the “more is better” lavishness of Egyptian elites during the New Kingdom. The New Kingdom, from 1567-1085 B.C., saw a rise in Egypt’s centralized power, and affluence unlike the world had witnessed prior to this time. Thus, Ramses II felt led to save face by not admitting defeat, by claiming glory for a victory he didn’t actually win, and for the treaty. Presented without the Ramsesian fluff, the Hittite copy seems to be more near the original. Both copies do, however, contain the heart of the agreement, that each country would agree to not encroach upon the other and that each country would come to the aid of the other for military support if the need arose. Also included in the treaty is an agreement that each country would extradite political refugees. The treaty was sealed by mutual agreement that the ‘gods’ were considered witnesses of the treaty.
IV. Writing a narrative
1. Narrative.
Main points: Writing a narrative think about these questions: How does the story begin? How will you describe the characters and places? How does the story end? How can you make the ending more dramatic and interesting for readers?
Useful language:
A. Describing when things happen: One day/night… The following day… A few moments later… After a while…
B. Making the story more interesting: To their surprise … Feeling tired/terrified, they … Suddenly … Eventually …
C. Here are some time phrases we use to tell stories: the beginning of the story – once there was a man…, one day…, many years ago …, the middle of the story – the following day/night…, after a while…, a few weeks passed…, a few days later…, the end of the story – eventually …, finally…, in the end …
