		Muwatallis II subsequently advanced as far south as Damascus: the Hittites had maintained their control in Syria.
		Assessing the major threat to the southern borders of the Hittite kingdom coming from the south, Muwatallis II transfered his residence to Dattassa, a city somewhere in the Taurus area.
		Muwatallis II had installed another son, Hattusilis, as "Great King" of a state centered on the city of Tarhuntassa, probably southwest of Konya giving Hattusilis equal status to the ruler of Carchemish.

		Muwatallis was the son and successor of Mursilis II.
		Although Muwatallis' accession was unmarred by the customary flurry of revolts among the Hittite vassal states, a struggle with resurgent Egypt for the domination of Syria became imminent after Egypt reconquered Palestine and made the Orontes River in Syria the Egyptian-Hittite frontier.
		In the meantime, his brother Hattusilis III fought with the Kaska in the north (the only troublesome Hittite satellite during Muwatallis' reign) and was installed as viceroy of the “Upper Country” east of Hattusas.

		The Battle of Kadesh (also spelled Qadesh) took place between Egypt and the forces of Muwatallis, king of the Hittites, on the Orontes River, during the reign of Ramesses II, It was probably the largest chariot-battle ever fought, with some 5000 vehicles involved.
		The Hittite king Muwatallis, who had mustered several of his allies (among them Rimisharrinaa, the king of Aleppo), had positioned his troops behind the hill at Kadesh, but Ramesses thought they were at Aleppo and learned the truth only after capturing two Hittites.
		Immediately Ramesses sent messengers to hasten the coming of the Ptah and Setekh divisions of his army which were still on the far side of the river Orontes.

		While the king was at Kummanni, he was joined by his brother Piyasilis, king of Carchemish, who was taken ill and died; his death sparked off a revolt in Syria supported by Egypt and Assyria, but the appearance of the king himself at the head of his imperial army proved sufficient to suppress it.
		When Muwatallis died and was succeeded by his son, Urhi-Teshub (Mursilis III), the boy's uncle became a rival to the throne and, after a seven-year quarrel, forced him into exile in Syria.
		Kurunta, another son of Muwatallis, was installed as Great King of a state centered on the city of Tarhuntassa, probably southwest of Konya, with equal status to the ruler of Carchemish; the city would have served as a base for operations farther west.

		This seperation of forces and forfeiture of any surprise was tactically foolish; but Ramses was apparently convinced the limited and engarrisoned force would not engage him in the open.
		Muwatallis, King of the Hittites, was well aware of Ramses' objective and movements, and he had his very significantly augmented main army positioned behind the city proper.
		I interject that Muwatallis decided not to expend forces to crush an already defeated army.

		Why Ramessês relied on information from two ex-soldiers of the Hittite army is unknown, however, the fact that his forward scouts had failed to detect the presence of a Hittite army may have persuaded the king to accept the news as fact.
		From recent reconstructions it seems that Muwatallis was surrounded and was forced to break out of the encirclement and retreat to Kadesh.
		It was an achievement that the Egyptian infantry had at all managed to hold the Hittites until further relief had arrived, and this is a testament to their discipline, but it remains amazing how little reconnaissance Ramessês II had completed prior to the battle and how brashly he reacted to two very strange Bedouins.

		Muwatallis' reign saw many battles against the Egyptians for control of Syria, including two battles at the Syrian city of Kadesh.
		The first battle at Kadesh was a small altercation against the second pharaoh of the 19th Dynasty named Seti I. The outcome of this battle was the signing of a precarious peace treaty that didn't mean a whole lot to either empire.
		The biggest blow to the Hittites from this battle was the death of their leader, Muwatallis.

	[No title]
		The traditional history credits Muwatallis, son of Mursilis, with a reign of 24 years, but this is an approximation based on historical references contained in the inscriptions of his brother Hatusillis who much later usurped the kingship from Urhi Teshup, the son of Muwatallis.
		And since Muwatallis appears to have promoted his brother to his elevated status soon after he became Great King of Hatti we need not assume that he ruled for much longer than that time, though in table 2 we credit him with 14 years, admittedly only an educated guess.
		And in the case of Muwatallis and Mursilis (II) we can suggest a reason why Mursilis might even relinquish to his son many of the functions typically assigned to the "Great King", all this while he was still alive.

		“One of the mysteries of the battle is why the Hittite king (Muwatallis) didn't put his infantry into battle on the first day,” Yurco commented during a lecture.

		At this point Nabopolassar was ailing, possibly suffering from a stroke, and he started delegating responsibilities to his sons, Muwatallis and Hattusilis.
		He died in 607 B.C., and both sons got a part of the realm to rule: Muwatallis became king in Babylonia, under the name of Nergilissar I, while Hattusilis became governor of Anatolia and Assyria, and commander of the army.
		Hattusilis, better known by his Babylonian name of Nebuchadnezzar II, would become the single most important person in the period covered by this chapter, so a few words on his early life would be appropriate before this narrative continues.

	"Forgotten Empires" Remembered - Text
		Menuas of Urartu, who is identified as Muwatallis the Hittite, is known to have associated his son Inuspuas with him as coregent, but Inuspuas never reigned in Urartu.
		Clapham mentions that this fact is generally attributed to the prince's premature death, and while he does not endorse this explanation, neither does he suggest another.
		[8] We may see in this a reference to the Urartian throne and suggest that some time after Mursilis III was appointed coregent, Muwatallis, perhaps sensing the danger presented by his younger brother but unwilling to kill him, made him king in Urartu, hoping that this would satisfy his ambitions.
