The Capture of Joppa is a
New Kingdom text inside the Harris Papyrus interesting the taking of the fenced in Palestinian city of Joppa by Egyptian forces during a militaristic campaign of
King Tuthmosis III. In the story, an Egyptian standard identified Djehuty homes his men in large baskets and then returns them to the people of Joppa as a gift. Accepting the baskets hold
food, the men of Joppa carry them alone their walls. Once alone, Egyptian soldiers rise out and killing the Joppa's men. Because of its similarity to the Greek story of the Trojan cavalry, likewise as to an ancient Persian story later incorporated into Tales of the Arabian Nights, some
