Ancient Egypt 2nd Intermediate Period (1 gen 1640 anni a. C. – 1 gen 1570 anni a. C.)

Descrizione:

"The Hyksos brought with them the methods of making bronze and casting it into tools and weapons that became standard in Egypt. The Hyksos also brought inventions that revolutionized Egyptian warfare, including bronze armor and weapons as well as horse-drawn chariots and the composite bow made of laminated wood and horn, which was far more powerful than the simple wooden bow.
The migration of the Hyksos, combined with a series of famines and internal struggles for power, led Egypt to fragment politically in what later came to be known as the Second Intermediate Period (1640–1570 B.C.E.). During this time, the Egyptians adopted bronze technology and new forms of weaponry from the Hyksos, while the newcomers began to worship Egyptian deities and modeled their political structure on that of the Egyptians."
