In this series, the Egyptians were given a ‘wake-up' call. Cheers,

Wow, 3 – 0. The Egyptians didn't do well at all. Splendid battle reports and photos as always. Thanks very much for sharing. Hope to see the Amorite vs. Bedouin fight and the Egyptian – Libyan rematch. |

After sweeping the Libyan and Ammu Bedouin off the field, the Egyptians developed a level of complacency. That was shattered beneath the blows of Amorite war axes. Next report should be posted this Wednesday. |

Nice report. Thanks. The pine trees are a bit weird. |

Maybe weird, but the Cedrus libani are indigenous to the eastern Mediterranean. Perhaps Lebanon is a better description of the area than ‘modern day Palestine'. |

Hmm, interesting. I thought they were supposed to have been a lot more widespread back then, we'll into Syria and southern Turkey, back in the day, when there were still some elephants, lions and crocs left in ancient Palestine. Dan |

Dan, Two thumbs up for noting that. Cheers, |

I also remember there was an inscription about Old Assyrian monarchs going into Syria/Canaan to hunt for elephant ivory and they always came back with cedar beams for their palaces. Maybe it was James B Prichard, Ancient Near Eastern Texts. Dan |
