Scene from the tomb of Tia and Tia in Saqqara Reign of Sety I **** under construction! **** A campaign against the Shasu: According to the Karnak reliefs this was took place in the first year of Sety I's reign. Stela from temple of Ptah: Year I under the majesty of Seti I . . . His majesty returned with glad heart from his first victorious campaign, when his onset passed over every country, and he took captive the rebellious countries by the puissance of his father, Amon, who decreed to him victorious might. He puts himself before him with glad heart ?furnishing protection for his son, assigning to him South, North, West, and East. They who invade his border are gathered together and delivered into his hand. There is none that thrusts aside his hand, carrying away their chiefs as living captives, with their tribute upon their backs, presenting them to his august father, Amon, and his associate gods, in order to fill their storehouse with male and female slaves, sthe captivity of every country. Lo, his majesty was at the Southern City (Thebes), performing the pleasing ceremonies of his father, Amon-Re, lord of Thebes ______ [Breasted] War with the Libyans the conquest of Palestine and some of southern Syria campaign to the north as far east as the Hauran;" thence westward along the Phcenician coast, perhaps as far as Simyra, and Ullaza; the second, preceded by a subordinate campaign against the Libyans, is the further prosecution of the Syrian conquest. The method pursued is exactly that of Thutmose 111 in his conquest of 130 years before (11,396)) viz., first to gain control of the Phoenician coast, and thor- oughly establish connection with Egypt by sea, so that re- inforcements and supplies for the next campaign might land at one of the Phcenician harbors from which as a base he could move upon the interior of Syria, especially the Orontes alley.^ From the coast the war was now carried inland and northward between the Lebanons, where the Egyptians met the Hittites for the first time in battle."
