Egypt is not even close to the first civilization, let alone having the first swords. while the nice Egyptians were in mud huts the Chinese and Japanese were fighting wars with swords, bows, spears, the Egyptians, though, made better armour i give them that. the Sumerians also had swords, and soilders, and Egyptians aren't older then Europeans, the Greeks were around when Egypt was being formed, as was the Gauls and Germainians, Celts and Scotts, Egypt just showed up big in the history books, because of the Pyrimads. did you know that they were conqured by the persians? by 500 BC? Egypt is a joke, their armies were weak, they hardly ever came away with victories. their splendor is due to the fact that nobody else lived near them, apart from the Ethiopians, which had as many people, and a the sums to fund an army Mr. history down there is wrong.
Egypt is not even close to the first civilization,
let alone having the first swords.

while the nice Egyptians were in mud huts
the Chinese and Japanese were fighting wars
with swords, bows, spears,

the Egyptians, though, made better armour i give them that.
the Sumerians also had swords, and soilders,

and Egyptians aren’t older then Europeans,
the Greeks were around when Egypt was being formed,
as was the Gauls and Germainians, Celts and Scotts,

Egypt just showed up big in the history books,
because of the Pyrimads.
did you know that they were conqured by the persians?
by 500 BC?

Egypt is a joke, their armies were weak,
they hardly ever came away with victories.
their splendor is due to the fact that nobody else
lived near them, apart from the Ethiopians,
which had as many people, and a the sums to fund an army

I'm sure that you have heard of the "ages" (ie. the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, etc.) Generally, the biggest and baddest civilizations were the ones that were able to create the best weapons first. These were then copied and distributed throughout the rest of the world. Swords generally were thought to have come from Egypt. However, Sumerian records show that they had invented something quite similar. The use of the sickle sword ( the one that people use to reap the wheat) as a weapon goes back beyond the Egyptians. The Egyptians were the first to come up with the original sword, but the blade was in existence even before the Sumerians.
