[QUOTE]Originally posted by ackee: [QB] WHEN KEMET RULED THE WAVES Black Spark WHITE FIRE Modified by Ackee How did Kemet manage to project power across the Mediterraean Sea? During the 18th and 19th Dynasties,Kemet's enemy,the powerful Hittite Empire,was firmly incontrol of Asia Minor.The days when a Sesostris could march a land army into Europe had long gone. And in any case ,neither Crete nor the other Isle In the midst of the Great Green Sea were ever vulnerable to attack by land. Clearly,the only way Kemet could have "trussed" the Haunebu and "struck" the Islanders(as Thutmose 3rd claimed to have done)or put them "in fear"(as Ramesses 2nd supposedly did)would have been to threaten the Aegean with a powerful navy. The conquering pharaoh Thutmose 3rd made effective use of naval power in his invasion of Syria-Palestine. Thutmose's first move when he marched into the region was to size the harbors and equip them for heavy traffic. "Every port town was supplied with every good thing..."says an incription of the time,"with ships of cedar loaded with columns and beams as well as timber. Thutmose immediately put these harbors to work. In at least 13-teen successive campaigns against Syria-Palestine, Thutmose brought in his armies by sea-thus eliminating the need for a long overland march. [/QB][/QUOTE]
