On the South Tower the whole of the left hand half of the wall is taken up by the Battle of Qadesh: Ramesses in his chariot dashing against the Hittites, who are killed by his arrows or flee in wild confusion and fall into the River Orontes; behind the King are other chariots; on the right, the Hittite Prince; above (barely distinguishable), the enemy fleeing into their fortress. The right hand half of the wall has the familiar representation of the King grasping his enemies by the hair and smiting them; farther right he is depicted with a long staff, accompanied by a fan bearer.
