The army in ancient Egypt

Egypt was considered to be the most ancient country in the whole of the world. Its natural borders, represented by the first waterfall at Aswan and the desert east and west of the Nile Valley and the Mediterranean coast in the north, provided adequate protection against foreign invasion; moreover, the Egyptians themselves were not a society of invaders and conquerors. For that reason, the country did not need an army of professionals; instead, Egypt was modestly organized by a part-time army with weak armaments. However, there was compulsory military service for young people and peasants; times of crisis.

Before the invention of printing, important literary and religious works were copied manually; a work done by scribes. In ancient Egypt, scribes were trained to write, by copying excerpts from classical Egyptian works. Religious texts were buried with the ancient Egyptians; these texts included curses, supplications (prayers), rituals and guidance about the afterlife. When the number of texts became so difficult to register on the coffins, they were inscribed on papyrus and placed inside the coffins. These texts became a major industry; the clerks had to complete thousands of copies. The places where the deceased's name was placed were left blank; until the papyrus was purchased by the writer. Mistakes were made, if the writer did not understand what he was writing; or if there were more than one writer working simultaneously in copying different passages (of the same text).
