Err, no.

well wrong name of the battle, and thinking the hittites won mainly with infantry. Got that wrong too.

But correctly identified the protagonists, the victor, the pharonic spin, and the peace treaty.

So basically WRONG then, you dickhead!

I've got a pic but there's no way I'm beating you three (or four?).

I'll just wait for one of you to "pass to the outside".

How did you get the peace treaty right ?


Battle of Megiddo 1479 B.C. :

Tuthmosis III against King of Kadesh & Canaanite coalition


Battle of Kadesh 1273 B.C. :

Ramasses II against the Hittites under King Muwatalli

Peace treaty between Hattusillis III and Egypt- the first of its kind we have evidence for. That's why Kadesh is still important. Well, that and the rise of Assyria...



Anyhoo.

Twentieth Century, she may not have been the queen, but she was in time viewed as 'the queen mother' of this country.

A real case of amor vincit omnia...

Name the courageous woman and the country.

Well, since it's been widely established that I'm no match for you guys... I'm just gonna interupt. Hope KH doesn't get too offended (heck he'll probably get this and post his anyway).

Two very important men talking about what was arguably the most important object of the 20th century.

I said that's why I felt safe interupting you.

You really think I missed the fact that Oppenheimer was a physicist? Or, god forbid, you were?
