Ancient Egyptian Army

The Ancient Egyptian Army was a key force in the defense and expansion of ancient Egypt, active from around 3000 BCE. Composed mainly of infantry, it included archers, charioteers, and foot soldiers equipped with weapons like bows, spears, and shields. Soldiers often served as volunteers or were conscripted, and the army played a crucial role in securing territories and resources. Hieroglyphics and tomb murals often depict military campaigns, reflecting the importance of the army in society and the Pharaoh’s power. Logistics, such as supply lines and strategic formations, were also essential for their success in battle.
