Nubia and the Levant · The lesson names Nubia and the Levant as regions of New Kingdom expansion.
Gold and ivory · Gold and ivory reached Egypt through Nubia. The lesson also names ebony.
False · Kadesh was fought in 1274 BCE. The treaty followed about fifteen years later.
Grain and linen cloth · Grain and linen cloth were Egyptian exports. The other pairs contain goods Egypt received through outside trade networks.
Myrrh resin · Punt supplied incense, including myrrh resin. Papyrus and linen were Egyptian products traded abroad.
Western Asian settlement began before Hyksos rule; chariots were used during that rule · Western Asian settlement preceded Hyksos control. Chariots were used during Hyksos rule and remained in use afterwards, so their use did not begin only after that rule ended.
The rulers' promises of peace and mutual help · The treaty preserves promises of peace and mutual help. Those terms are evidence of negotiated relations between the states.
Kadesh stayed under Hittite control after the battle · Continued Hittite control directly challenges the claim that Ramesses captured Kadesh. The other facts identify opponents and later diplomacy.
