Warfare and Weaponry in Dynastic Egypt – by Rebecca Dean
Defence. Attack. Symbolism. Warfare in any civilisation offers a revealing glimpse into its people’s lives, struggles, and ambitions — and never more so than in Ancient Egypt.
In this detailed and engaging study, Rebecca Dean explores the evolution of warfare in dynastic Egypt, examining the weapons, tactics, and symbolic meanings behind them. Figures such as Tutankhamun and Nefertiti come to life through the lens of history, archaeology, and experimental reconstructions.
Highlights include:
-
Swords, axes, and daggers in ancient Egyptian combat
-
How weapons were used and the skill required to wield them
-
The role of women who occasionally seized power in a male-dominated society
-
Insights from experimental archaeology testing replicas of historical artefacts
