Egypt and the Hittites were now concerned with the rise of Assyria.

All would suffer in the late Bronze Age collapse (LBA), with the Hittite empire collapsing soon after a string of three drought years about half a century after the treaty. Egypt and Assyria, at least, would persist in truncated form, with the latter rising to new heights of power in the Iron Age.

> The country of Egypt and the country of Hatti [Hittite Empire] will be forever in a state of peace.

Wonder how long it lasted?

Edit: turns out it lasted until the Hittite empire collapsed 80 years later, so in a sense indeed "forever".

FWIW, the longest peace treaty lasted approximately 700 years, from the 7th to 14th centuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baqt
