In the captured camp had been found the son of the king of Megiddo, besides a large amount of booty, including chariots of silver and gold from Asi or Cyprus.  Two suits of iron armour were also obtained, one belonging to the king of Kadesh, the other to the king of Megiddo.  The seven tent-poles of the royal tent, plated with gold, also fell into the hands of the Egyptians.  The catalogue of the spoil was written down on a leather roll which was deposited in the temple of Amon at Thebes, and in it were enumerated:  3401 prisoners and 83 hands belonging to the slain, 32 chariots plated with gold, 892 ordinary chariots, 2041 mares, 191 foals, 602 bows, and 200 suits of armour.

Before the campaign was ended the Egyptian army had penetrated far to the north and captured Inuam, south of Damascus, as well as Anugas or Nukhasse, and Harankal, to the north of the land of the Amorites.  All these places seem to have belonged to the king of Kadesh, as his property was carried away out of them.  When Thothmes returned to Thebes the quantity of spoil be brought back with him was immense.  “Besides precious stones,” golden bowls, Phoenician cups with double handles and the like, there were 97 swords, 1784 pounds of gold rings and 966 pounds of silver rings, which served as money, a statue with a head of gold, tables, chairs, and staves of cedar and ebony inlaid with gold, ivory and precious stones, a golden plough, the golden sceptre of the conquered prince, and richly embroidered stuffs.  The fields of the vanquished province were further measured by the Egyptian surveyors, and the amount of taxation annually due from them was fixed.  More than 208,000 measures of wheat were moreover carried off to Egypt from the plain of Megiddo.  The Canaanitish power was completely broken, and Thothmes was now free to extend his empire further to the north.

Accordingly in the following year (B.C. 1479) we find him receiving tribute from the Assyrian king.  This consisted of leather bracelets, various kinds of wood, and chariots.  It was probably at this time that Carchemish on the Euphrates was taken, the city being stormed from the riverside.  Five years later the first part of the annals was engraved on the wall of the new temple of Amon at Karnak, and it concluded with an account of the campaign of the year.  This had been undertaken in Northern Syria, and had resulted in the capture of Uarrt and Tunip, now Tennib, to the north-west of Aleppo.  No less than one hundred pounds of silver and as many of gold were taken from Tunip, as well as lapis-lazuli from Babylonia, and malachite from the Sinaitic peninsula, together with vessels of iron and bronze.  Some ships also were captured, laden with slaves, bronze, lead, white gold, and other products of the Greek seas.  On the march home the Egyptian army took possession of Arvad, and seized its rich stores of wheat and wine.  “Then the soldiers caroused and anointed themselves with oil as they used to do on feast days in the land of Egypt.”
