Ramesses II had to march against Dapur once more in his tenth year. This time he claimed to have fought the battle without even bothering to put on his corslet, until two hours after the fighting began. Six of Ramesses’s youthful sons, still wearing their side locks, took part in this conquest. He took towns in Retenu,[34] and Tunip in Naharin,[35] later recorded on the walls of the Ramesseum.[36] This second success at the location was equally as meaningless as his first, as neither power could decisively defeat the other in battle.[37]
