Pylos Agreement

The Pylos Agreement was a treaty of cooperation signed by the Kingdom of Egypt and the Mycenaean Confederation in 1 AEE in the Mycenaean city of Pylos. It was signed at the start of the Egyptian Expedition to Mycenae and set the terms for the future of the operation. The Egyptians pledged to support the Mycenaean financially, agriculturally, and militarily for the next 10 years. Around 20 000 Egyptian troops were already in the Confederation's territory, helping it recover and fend off barbarians from the north, and the treaty stipulated that half of them would be pulled out by 6 AEE and the rest gradually until 11 AEE, though since the Confederation was stabilized earlier, the first half was pulled out already in 3 AEE, with the rest returning gradually until 11 AEE. In return, the Mycenaean opened new trade routes to Egypt and gave it easier access to tin, needed to make bronze, promised to help the country in any conflict with Hatti, and gave the Egyptians partial control of some industries for the duration of the Expedition, including the shipbuilding, weapon manufacturing, and construction ones. The agreement was superseded in 11 AEE when the Expedition officially ended and the Keftiu Accords were signed, making Egypt and Mycenae into official allies.
