Warfare and Weapons in Ancient Egypt

I have just started this FREE course from Manchester Uni, strongly recommend it if you want some quality Egyptology teaching.



Warfare and Weapons in Ancient Egypt: Warfare and Weapons is a self-paced introductory course which covers a little-explored yet fascinating aspect of life (and death) in ancient Egypt. The course is presented as a series of four short learning modules plus a bonus learning module of introductory material.
Together we will explore the technology, art and archaeology of Egyptian warfare and weapons from the Predynastic Period (Dynasty 0) to the end of the New Kingdom (Dynasty 20). We will examine specific weapon-types, take an in-depth look at selected artefacts in the Manchester Museum, and meet the mighty warrior king Tuthmosis III and the self-proclaimed hero king Ramesses II, who claims to have single-handedly won the Battle of Kadesh.
