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. —------ The art is original and manually made by digital artist Joseph Feely.
