Back in Cairo, Ramses II went on display again, along with a plaque noting that in 1258 B.C. he and Hattusilis, great chief of the Hittites, ended a 20-year war with an agreement that neither would pass into the land of the other "or take anything therefrom." "Good, good," nodded Sadat, reading the plaque. Of course...
