The World of Ancient Egypt

The thriving civilization of Egypt emerged directly because of how the Egyptians handled economic, social and geographical influences.

The most outstanding Pharaoh is Ramses II because, “he became the prince regent at the age of 14, and joined his father’s military battles, then at the age 22 Ramses II led his own military battles all before becoming pharaoh. When Ramses II was 25 his father Seti I died and Ramses II took the throne.” During his reign as Pharaoh, Ramses II led the Egyptian army against several enemies including the Hittites, Syrians, Libyans and Nubians. One of his most famous battles was the “Battle of Kadesh.” Ramses II led an army of 20,000 men against the larger Hittites army of 50,000 men. Although the battle was indecisive, Ramses came home a military hero. “Later on Ramses II established one of the first major peace treaties in history with the Hittites.

Egypt had a handful of pharaohs that were known to be some of the great. The one who was known as not only a great king, but also an outstanding general and warrior was Thutmosis III. Many historians call him the Napoleon of his time. He was so good at being a general, that we still use his strategies of war with our own military. He was one of the kings that actually lead his men into battle, instead of staying back in their throne or hiding in the back. He was proud to be in the front and winning every single war he went in.

What primarily distinguishes the Egyptian army from a rabble of fighters was their organized fighting style. “The infantry, having advanced slowly toward the enemy, would progressively increase the momentum of its attack until only a short distance separated it from them. Then, with shields raised defensively and weapons held at the ready, the infantry would break into a charge. The success of this phalanx attack depended to a great degree on the shock it administered to the enemy at the initial impact.” In addition to this infantry style, Egypt was known for their use of mounted combat. Chariots were dominant in Egypt as the “heavy hitter” of their war force. “…Ramses II, the greatest warrior pharaoh, repeatedly skirmished with the Hittites. At the Battle of Kadesh in 1274 BCE, Ramses faced the Hittite king Muwatalli II in what probably was the greatest chariot battle of all time, with as many as six thousand chariots

I chose this book because of my newfound appreciation of Egyptian warfare. I had always been fascinated by Egyptian history, but had somewhat dismissed the study thereof. I highly suggest this book to anyone studying Egyptian warfare. It analyzes in great depth, the New Kingdom and its war strategies prior to the Egyptians’ takeover of Syria. The excruciating detail in which Egyptologist, Anthony Spalinger articulates has details for the novice, the middle student, and even an instructor of ancient civilizations.

Unlike the secular government that we have today, ancient Egypt intertwined religion with politics, creating a vast network of gods that ruled over specific parts of Egyptian life.

When a message is in its original form it is known as plaintext or cleartext and the process that involves masking the text to hide the content is known as encryption. Once a message is encrypted it is referred to as ciphertext . Cryptography or crypto for short has always served the same purpose of encrypting information for reasons of privacy, deception, or security. Cryptographic methodologies could date back to the ancient Egyptian era where standard hieroglyphs were altered to mask true meaning . It is more likely that the first introduction of crypto followed the invention of writing and evolved in line with forms of communication. The use of crypto has been seen as extremely advantageous in times of war, where communication

When one thinks of ancient Egypt, hieroglyphics, mummification and the incredible Pyramids of Giza often come to mind. The world has been fascinated with ancient Egypt for centuries and has even dedicated an extensive branch of study to it: Egyptology. Egypt is praised not only for it’s agricultural, military and scientific advances, but also for its achievements in art and literature. The ancient Egyptians are credited with countless incredible achievements, and that is why they are so well remembered and fervently studied today.

Throughout the Egyptian world, embalmers worked to preserve the inner life force that was thought to reside within the body after death. It was common belief that by completing a seventy day process known as mummification, the Ka, this spiritual entity, would be able to live on long after the person died. Because of this, many people of the culture lived modest lives on Earth, saving immense amounts of money and gold for intricate objects that could serve practical and decorative purposes for their tombs. Every step of the preparations was handled with meticulous care as it was believed that life on Earth was limited, while life in the afterlife was eternal. This cultural ideology of eternal life after death is emulated by the statuary of the Egyptian world—especially by the granite pair statue of Nefu and Khemet-setju from Giza, which was found in 1931 on the Harvard University-Museum of Fine Arts Expedition.
