How war and weapons were introduced to Egypt
Egypt was said to be a peaceful country, until the Hyksos invasion in Lower Egypt, in the 15th dynasty. Before the Hyksos invasion, the Egyptians didn't have a proper army to protect the country, the only things they ever had to do was settle civil unrest. Egypt mostly had guards, palace guards border guards, trade ship guards, but not a real army! without an army the Egyptians couldn't protect themselves well in the attack against the Hyksos. After the invasion with the Hyksos invasion, Ancient Egypt had many weapons, like, axes, swords, spears, bows and arrows, knives, clubs and many more, they even had defensive gear such as shields. They didn't just use weapons and armor in battle, they also used transport, and for this they would ride in chariots.
