The Battle of Nekhru was a battle fought between Ancient Egypt and Libya in 1192 BC amid the Late Bronze Age collapse.
By 1192 BC, Pharaoh Ramesses III had finished conquering the Red Sea coast of Egypt and was pushing up the Nile at the expense of Napata. At the same time, however, a dozen Denyen invasion fleets plagued the eastern Mediterranean, while new Libu hordes began to cross the Western Desert into Egypt. Ramesses' father Setnakhte moved his army into the desert to hunt down the invading Libyan armies, but the Libyan warlord Adiamep preemptively attacked him at a place in the desert called Nekhru. In the ensuing battle, the Egyptians smashed the Libyan army, suffering just 179 losses and annihilating Adiamep's force.
