Source & typo[edit]

Hi @Jeff Dahl @Andrei Nacu: do we have a source for this map? Someone also said in 2015: "There no evidence that the long-term border of New Kingdom Egypt was ever much further north than Ugarit (at best)." (en:w:File talk:Egypt 1450 BC.svg).

There's also a typo: Mediterranean (two Rs)

Hi @Jeff Dahl: @Andrei Nacu: @A455bcd9: . It looks like this map is adapted directly from this one from 1913, which is to say that it's based on extremely outdated information. It even predates the decipherment of Hittite! This map looks less wrong to me, though I still find it a bit questionable. Botterweg14 (talk) 16:59, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
