👉 The Egyptian weapon, also known as the "shen," is a distinctive and formidable ancient Egyptian weapon that primarily consisted of a long, curved blade attached to a wooden or bone handle. This weapon was often used by Egyptian soldiers and warriors, particularly during the Old Kingdom period. The shen's design allowed for both slashing and piercing attacks, making it a versatile tool in close combat. Its curved shape enabled it to cut through armor and flesh with ease, while its length provided leverage for powerful strikes. The weapon was frequently depicted in tomb paintings and hieroglyphs, underscoring its importance in Egyptian warfare and military culture.
