Sword Khopesh - Weapons of Pharaoh's ban

Khopesh Sword has a long history of existence in Egypt, it was used over 1200 years before being replaced by more effective weapons (from the third millennium until about 1300 BC). The word 'khopesh' is also used to refer to the 'foot' in the 'cow's foot' as a way to call a politically and ridiculously called polygon because of the shape of this sword.

Khopesh is usually sharpened at the outer edge of the blade, where it will first be adjacent to the enemy. In addition, the curvilinear part works as a trick used to pull the opponent away, causing them to lose their posture or fall off a horse-drawn carriage, ricocheting the horse's legs if they reach the correct range. Khopesh bars are also quite heavy, partly because the metal technique was relatively low at the time, the main material was copper, some later Khopesh samples were an alloy between tin and copper to make the sword lighter.

Only the best forces, the heart of the new Pharaoh with Khopesh sword.

Khopesh is very complicated compared to the technology of the time, so only the most elite forces, is the heart of the new Pharaoh to be equipped. However, the destructive power of Khopesh is extremely terrible.

Its curved blade can create slashes with a very wide tear that makes the enemy quickly lose blood to death (in desert combat, blood loss is more frightening than infection or festering, which is less common. in hot and dry climates); This is because the Egyptians have realized that the trajectory of a slash is not a straight line but a parabola, leading to a blade that creates a parabolic-shaped trajectory that will bring the highest damage.

In the fighting, the curved blade of the sword also helps the warrior to easily deal with the enemy from more sides than the straight sword (imagine, just swinging Khopesh around is the siege crowd is also terrified. Don't say rushing, and it's also used to destroy the enemy's shield extremely effectively compared to the battle ax of that time (piercing the shield, swinging the blade, jerking; these three actions are both shocking and shielded. You can injure an enemy easily by chopping into your hands and your hips).

The sword's curved blade also makes it easier for warriors to deal with enemies from more sides.

Khopesh is also very difficult to practice successfully , if not skillful, the trainee will also be injured with this stubborn sword (curved and heavy tongue). Many veteran guards have scars that are not fighting, but they can still be proud of the process they are proficient in using Khopesh.

A Pharaoh's Restraint with Khopesh on his hand can accept dozens of other idiots with the main equipment being spears, shields and axes. Precisely because of the above characteristics, Khopesh is both a powerful weapon, expressing special grace when served for Pharaoh. The generals or the gods given to Khopesh are a very meaningful gift because they know that only one person has the right to give it to them: Pharaoh.

Khopesh's sword is very difficult to master.

Khopesh was gradually eliminated due to many objective conditions, but its descendants also gained valuable lessons from this ancestor. The Arabian saber swords, Scimitar and Damascus also more or less inherited Khopesh's spirit and again made the enemy terrified.
