Ancient Egypt Efficient High Speed Marching Egyptian Army Pharaohs Army
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to ancient Egypt, where the Pharaoh's soldiers are seen marching fast across rough terrain. Prior to the domestication of animals and their use as beasts of burden around 4,000 BC, land transport relied solely on foot. This beautifully colored illustration, derived from a bas-relief, showcases an Egyptian army on the move. Marching is a sub-gait of walking that produces an efficient high-speed walk. The disciplined soldiers in this image demonstrate their ability to cover vast distances without becoming exhausted. Even under the scorching sun and over challenging landscapes, these remarkable warriors could march fifteen miles a day for an entire week. The ancient Egyptians were renowned for their military prowess and organizational skills. Their ability to maintain such quick marches allowed them to swiftly respond to threats or engage in strategic maneuvers during battles. It is truly awe-inspiring how they achieved such incredible feats without relying on modern means of transportation. As we admire this photo print, we are reminded of the resilience and determination exhibited by these ancient armies. They serve as a testament to human adaptability and ingenuity throughout history. Let us appreciate this snapshot from our past that captures both the efficiency of marching and the might of Pharaoh's army in Ancient Egypt.
