Kadesh Barnea in Easton's Bible Dictionary
the sacred city of the Hittites, on the left bank of the
Orontes, about 4 miles south of the Lake of Homs. It
is
identified with the great mound Tell Neby Mendeh, some
50 to 100
feet high, and 400 yards long. On the ruins of the
temple of
Karnak, in Egypt, has been found an inscription
recording the
capture of this city by Rameses II. (See PHARAOH
-T0002923.)
Here the sculptor "has chiselled in deep work on the
stone, with
a bold execution of the several parts, the procession
of the
warriors, the battle before Kadesh, the storming of
the
fortress, the overthrow of the enemy, and the camp
life of the
Egyptians." (See HITTITES -T0001794.)
