The Egyptian-Hittite Peace Treaty, also known as the Eternal Treaty or the Silver Treaty, is the only surviving ancient Near Eastern treaty for which versions from both sides have been preserved. It is also the earliest known peace treaty in history. Sometimes referred to as the Treaty of Kadesh, despite not mentioning Kadesh in the text, it is named after the well-documented Battle of Kadesh that took place around 16 years prior. Scholars have extensively studied both versions of the treaty. The Egyptian version of the treaty was found in two original copies: one with 30 lines on the wall extending south of the Great Hypostyle Hall at the Temple of Karnak, and the second, with 10 lines, at the Ramesseum. Jean-François Champollion copied a portion of the accord in 1828, and his findings were posthumously published in 1844. The Egyptian account described a major battle against the "Great King of Khatti." The Hittite version of the treaty was discovered by German archaeologist Hugo Winckler in 1906 at the site of the Hittite capital, Hattusa (now Boğazkale in Turkey). The joint Turkish-German team found 10,000 clay tablets with cuneiform writing documenting many of the Hittites' diplomatic activities, including three tablets with the text of the treaty written in the Akkadian language, a lingua franca of the time. 19cmX11cm6cmX2cm
