The sickle shaped sword of ancient Egypt

The sickle shaped sword of ancient Egypt

Also known as' Khepash ', it is a symbolic weapon in ancient Egyptian civilization, with a history dating back to around 3000 BC. The characteristic is that the sword body is curved, resembling a crescent moon, and the sword tip is sharp. Not only is it a weapon in actual combat, but it is also a symbol of power for pharaohs and senior officials, commonly seen in religious ceremonies and celebrations. The design gives it a unique advantage on the battlefield, with a curved sword body that increases the range and power of strikes, while the sharp tip of the sword can be used for stabbing. Over time, the Khenpash gradually disappeared from the battlefield, but its status as a symbolic weapon remained unchanged.
