Editing Djedkare Isesi (section)

====Warfare====
Not all relations between Egypt and its neighbors were peaceful during Djedkare's reign. In particular, one of the earliest known depictions of a battle or a city being besieged{{sfn|Strudwick|2005|p=371}} is found in the tomb of Inti, an official from the [[Nome (Egypt)#Upper Egypt|21st nome of Upper Egypt]], who lived during the late Fifth Dynasty.{{sfn|Verner|2001b|p=590}}{{sfn|Strudwick|2005|p=371}} The scene shows Egyptian soldiers scaling the walls of a Near Eastern fortress on ladders.{{sfn|Baker|2008|p=84}}{{sfn|Kanawati|McFarlane|1993|pp=26–27|loc=pl. 2}} More generally, ancient Egyptians seem to have regularly organised punitive raids in [[Canaan]] during the later Old Kingdom period but did not attempt to establish a permanent dominion there.{{sfn|Redford|1992|pp=53–54}}
