Surely not!!! Check the history, most egyptian small amount of wars were for defense not conquering!

[connorhighland]

Actually this is a Canaanite sword that the Egyptians copied after they kicked out the hyksos who were Canaanite

[ChromeMan]

Actually it originates from Egypt and descended from farming weapons so it’s not a real sickle and the Kopis is NOT related to the Khopesh

[محمدوموسى-طق]

This could have been a good subject unfortunately it was poorly made, poorly written, uninforming. and uninteresting. A definite thumbs down .
