Who were the leaders of the egyptian army? Was it King Tut? Cleopatra? Djoser?

 As it turns out one of the leaders of the Egyptian army was Ramses the second. He was so clever that he had four different divisions of his army! There was the Amurru, Amun, Re, and the Ptah. Those four divisions were used to invade the Hittite city of Kaddish. The Hittite spy's lied to Ramses the second and told him that the Hittite army was in Aleppo, but they were actually in Kaddish! How would you feel if you went all the way to Aleppo just to find that they aren't there? Man that would make me mad! So the Amun division went to Aleppo, and the Amurru division guarded the river for Re and Ptah divisions. Got to have you a division of protection! That would make me feel safe! Re was attacked first with 2,500 Hittite chariots while crossing the river. Ouch!
