The Treaty of Kadesh, also known as the Egyptian–Hittite peace treaty or the Eternal Treaty or the Silver Treaty, is the earliest known surviving peace treaty in the world. The Kadesh Peace Treaty, the earliest peace treaty whose text is known to have survived, was signed in 1269 B.C. between the King of the Hittites, Hattusilis III, and the pharaoh of Egypt, Rameses II. The clay tablet, which records the text in cuneiform script, was found in 1906 in central Anatolia on the site of the old Hittite capital, Hattusat (now Bogazkoy).
