Synopsis

Learn how topography and careful field study reveal the tactics of an ancient battle at Megiddo.

This nonfiction work examines the Battle of Megiddo (circa 1479 B.C.) through the lens of landscape, maps, and on‑site observation. By combining a detailed reading of Egyptian records with topographic analysis and period photographs, the author shows how geography shaped troop movements, marching formations, and siege operations. The study is grounded in two field visits to the battlefield and uses updated mapping to illuminate how terrain influenced strategy and outcomes.

  • How the rugged pass and valleys dictated a single‑file march and limited formations
  • How a linear siege unfolded along a wall and rampart method used in the ancient world
  • How water sources, routes, and camp locations affected planning and logistics
  • How portable religious imagery and ritual practice accompanied military processions and strategy
Ideal for readers of military history, ancient Near Eastern studies, and archaeology, this edition helps you visualize a pivotal ancient engagement by linking text, topography, and on‑the‑ground study.
