Description
Egyptian soldiers march to battle, armed with a range of weapons. Look for v-shaped bows, quivers, sickle-shaped swords (called “khopesh”), spears, daggers, “duck-billed” battle axes, maces (sticks with small knobs at one end) and shields. Most of the men wear quilted headdresses and stiff linen kilts to protect their heads and groins.
