Perplexingly the hull has neither frames nor structural lashings, although this lack of internal framing seems to conform to Herodotos' detailed description of fifth-century Egyptian boat building: The Nile boats used for carrying freight are built of acacia wood - the acacia resembles in form the lotus of Cyrene and, exudes gum. Idleness and boredom can cause unrest, which has always been a patrolling the desert with potential danger for any army. In this duel, Seth put out the eye of Horus, while the latter castrated Seth, part of whose violent nature probably derived from his sexual potency. The Bronze Age, to which the Middle Kingdom belongs, is the period when bronze tools and weapons were widely used. Promising soldier material was conscripted from amongst the peasantry, hardy youths in their late teens earmarked to be trained and formed into militia units to supplement the ahautyu. This would not have required specialist skills and could be undertaken by the soldier in the field. The role of the 'master of the kennels' is known from the fortress at Buhen.
Product Description: Mythical in their own time, the power and status of the Pharaohs of Egypt have remained so through the millennia. In this book, Nic Fields explores the lives of the ordinary soldiers who sustained Middle Kingdom Egypt. Using rare artifacts he reconstructs the day-to-day existence of the Pharaoh's army from archers to hand-to-hand fighters, through to the 'sole-companions' of the Pharaoh. Quoting from ancient sources he narrates sea and land battles in dramatic detail, all the while providing the reader with a rare insight into the minutiae of the soldier's life, from the food he ate to the gods he worshipped.

I am a great fan of the Osprey books and this is certainly one of the best. Much has been written about the armies and wars of the New Kingdom, particularly the campaigns of Ramses II, but this is one of the only books I know dealing with the earlier Egyptian period in a form accessible to the layman. Full of detail and statistics, but also giving a good picture of life as a soldier in the 2nd millenium BC. A worthwhile read for military buffs and those with a casual interst in ancient history alike.
