Abstract

This paper studies royal inscriptions of the Eighteenth Dynasty-a period of extensive military activity in Nubia and the Levant-to examine the prevailing assumption that earthly wars were conceived as mirroring a cosmic struggle between order and chaos. Instead, the sources suggest a more intricate picture, in which royal prerogative and divine will are at play, often ambiguously intertwined.
