And since Ramesses the Second assumed the rule of Egypt, the genius of his decisions appeared to him, so he chose for himself the place of the palace between his family and his clan in his hometown.
He chose that city to be located among the four temples to be protected by the gods, from the west the temple of Amun, from the east the temple of Astarte Asian and from the south the temple of Sutikh and from the north the temple of Wadget.
Ramses righteousness has become like paradise on earth, full of fields and orchards, and its channels are full of colorful fish and lotus flowers, and its gardens are full of pomegranate, apples, and grapes until the entire people of Egypt wish to live in that city.

Now, each group includes five thousand soldiers who recruited forces from the Nuba settlements in addition to mercenaries from among the prisoners of war who came from Amuru and from the homeless who migrated to the coast of Phenicia.
And before the great battle, Rameses fought battles on more than one front since the second year of his rule. He defeated the Asians and took away their lands because he trampled his feet on the north, and the erosion fell due to the terror he caused and the Nubians deprived the breezes of life.
It is also likely that some battles were raging at the Libyan and Nubian worms, in response to the Egyptian hegemony over these regions, which would help Rameses after that put a correct tactic to mobilize his forces in the war against Al-Khati.
