AN EMPIRE ON THE THRESHOLD OF ASIA: RELATIONS BETWEEN SYRIA AND PALESTINE IN THE 18TH DYNASTY OF ANCIENT EGYPT

Summary/Abstract: Egypt, one of the important centers of the long and arduous historical journey experienced by humanity during the birth of civilization, has made significant contributions to the development of social consciousness and the human mind with its structure that shows continuity, intertwining the past with the present. This accumulation, observed from the earliest periods, has enabled Egypt to acquire an innovative and institutional character in both its understanding of civilization and its state organization. In this structure with an ancient political tradition, maintaining state order necessitated administrative and military measures. Focusing on security and expansionism, Egypt aimed for political supremacy in Syria-Palestine, the Levant, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia. This foreign policy, which became particularly evident during the 18th Dynasty, was a struggle for regional dominance shaped by military campaigns, diplomacy, and economic interests. This study examines Egypt's Syrian-Palestinian campaigns, alliances, and political gains within a historical context. To clarify the process, regional dynamics in Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Asia have also been included. Furthermore, the historical background of the region and the effects of changes in Egypt's foreign policy on subsequent periods have been analyzed.
