The Army in Ancient Egypt, Its Role in War and Peace

Summary

The foundational signs of the ancient Egyptian army appeared during the era of King Mina; that is, more than five thousand years ago, when he united the two parts of Egypt in the south and north (Upper Egypt and the Delta). However, it is certain that with the  Fifth Dynasty, features of a regular army started to appear, which became evident during the Sixth Dynasty era when King Pepi I launched a disciplinary military campaign against the Bedouin tribes on the eastern borders of Egypt. The study seeks to identify the importance of the army in ancient Egypt, and its role in peace and war, through an introduction, two chapters and a conclusion.
