Weapons of the Desert Dwellers




In the times of Pharaohs and pyramids,deadly weapon were being forged for the battlefields of ancient Egypt.A khopesh or "sickle sword"was an awesome weapon used by Pharaohs and other high ranking warriors. Of the heavy weight weapons,the bladed club was the best and most dangerous.Made of a bronze blade fused with a rock or metal club it dealt devastating blows to shields and armor.The Egytpians used slings(that's right the same thing David used to kill the giant), to chuck enormous boulders(or small rocks...)at enemies.

A composite bow,made of several pieces of wood glued together,had amazing and deadly range on battlefields of that time.With this array of weaponry,Egypt's enemies packed their bags and ran...for their lives.
