The Famous Ancient Egyptian wars and battles
Ancient Egyptian wars: During the first moments of the history of Egypt, the old Kingdom, and the Middle Kingdom, that is, the time of the pyramids, the pharaohs did not have professional soldiers. It was like the “militia” of a few years ago, they were all volunteers soldiers, called up when they were needed for the Egyptian wars.
When Egypt was attacked or an expedition had to be organized against one of Egypt’s traditional enemies (the peoples of Nubia, Canaan, Libya or the desert nomads), the pharaoh’s officials would gather a group of men and, without extensive military training, send them on a mission
This meant, that military campaigns took place when agricultural conditions and climate permitted. For example, to go to fight in Nubia, where the heat is enormous, the time of winter and spring was preferred when the temperatures were not so high. On the other hand, to attack the area of Syria-Palestine, summer was chosen, after having harvested the crop. Being a soldier and a farmer had its disadvantages, especially from the point of view of the army. But in ancient times it was commonplace. During the first years of the Roman Republic, the same thing happened and they still conquered a great empire.

Ancient Egypt, The beginning, was a quiet and calm people, therefore they did not need any army or weapon to defend themselves; however, in emergency situations, they enlisted a group of young people who, when they finished their task, returned home, that is, they did not have permanent armies. As the empire grew and had more and more power, it was necessary to expand and conquer new territories, so they had to recruit a fixed and trained army that was available for any battle. In the Old Kingdom, there was a predominance of foreigners
Ancient Egyptian war strategies
Fortunately for the Egyptians, the people they faced had the same kind of military training, so in their confrontations, they were almost always victorious. At least that’s what the Egyptian texts tell us.

No, it is not the country that gains wealth, it’s a few people who gain all the wealth.
And those few are always the ruling class. The wealth is why they are the ruling class.
Sometimes you remind me of George Carlin when he posited that God is all-knowing and all-powerful but just can’t handle money and always seems to need more money!
