It is a great pleasure to dedicate this study to my mentor Donald Redford. Exposure to the sheer depth and broad range of his scholar ship both in print and in person during classes in Toronto as a Ph.D. candidate sparked my historical imagination in many directions, despite the natural tendency of the graduate student towards keeping a rather narrow perspective while researching a thesis. He has and continues to exemplify for me the value of a multi-disciplinary approach to Egyptological studies, the importance of a rigorous analysis of every scrap of evidence and the fruits to be derived from an overarching historical viewpoint in examining Egyptian civilization. During the Third Intermediate and Late Periods, a number ofwhat might be called "official" ex voto graffiti were carved at the behest of the clergy ofArnen-Re as objects of popular devotion. These can sometimes be found on the walls of New Kingdom temples that had been left undecorated by the pharaohs of that era, and they frequently occur alongside the much cruder etchings of devout commoners. Another phenomenon associated with popular temple devotion was the secure ment of veils to screen selected icons from view. The presence of these screens can be detected by holes drilled into the walls which surround such images. Here the line of demarcation between "popular" and "official" religious practice blurs, since the veils were placed by the temple hierarchy in response to popular cult practice.

One of the most fascinating periods of Near Eastern history is the liberation of Egypt from "Hyksos" control, the beginnings of Egypt's New Kingdom or Empire period, and the concomitant Middle Bronze-Late Bronze transition in Canaan. That a military presence of some kind played a central role in Egypt's relationship to the Levant is well recognized, but often over-emphasized to the exclusion of other aspects of Egypt's foreign policy. Furthermore, there is a tendency among scholars interested in Syro-Palestinian history and archaeology to forget that Egypt had a second major theater of operation in LB I, viz. Nubia. The purpose of this paper is to explore some of the oft forgotten aspects of Egypt's foreign policy in Western Asia, concentrating on the period 1550-1400 B.C., the reigns of Ahmose from Amenhotep II, the LB I period in Syria-Palestine. Additionally, the differences between Egypt's foreign policy with Nubia and the Levant will be explored and possible reasons for the contrasting models will be proposed.
