Lion.Kanzen Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 what an unpolite way of saying things. Sundiata was probably referring to invaders from Africa. The Babylonians never sacked Egypt or Conquer Egypt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, it makes sense that the spare javelins would be held inside the shield in some way. So yeah, I could make a variation that is vertical for those units whose shields necessitate it. It's not just this one unit that has such clipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CovenantKillerJ Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Do we have any archaeological sites/physical evidence of elephant stables anywhere? Edited August 12, 2023 by CovenantKillerJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurken Khan Posted August 12, 2023 Report Share Posted August 12, 2023 @CovenantKillerJ I think the more important question is if we have proof of the use of eles. The production buildings are a game play mechanic; do we have proof of CCs, barracks, stables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though some have argued that it is simply Indian influence that led to the bronze statuettes of elephants and the column depiction at Aborepi, I feel that its much more likely that the Kushites did use elephants, especially if the Ptolemaics did.

Alexes Posted June 19, 2024 Report Share Posted June 19, 2024 Maspero probably collected most of the faience referenced below in around 1890s-1910 during the building and raising of the Aswan Low Dam. Does anyone have information regarding this particular type of amulet? Ref: p. 32. PL VIII #12773-1277 https://ia902203.us.archive.org/12/items/ReisnerAmulets2/ReisnerAmulets2.pdf Egyptian Museum, Turin... Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genava55 Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) Quote I thus see that the iron working could have been based on a caste like division of labour that we can still observe among blacksmiths in Sudan, Ethiopia and in the savannah area. I will argue that the Kingdom of Kush was based on a strong centralisation of the production of iron, a centralisation that must have had as a consequence severe deforestation. [...] The weaponry recovered from graves show the evidence for archery to be overwhelming, and indicates the importance of this in the Kushitic army. The arrowheads take a variety of forms; they are mostly tanged, with one or two barbs. Remains of bows have been found in the tomb of queen Amanikhatashan (62-85 AD) at Meroe. Examples of spears are frequently found in graves, and rare examples of swords (Welsby 1996: 42). A man buried with late Kushite pottery at Wadi es-Sebua, was found with an iron arrowhead lodged in his thorax. Two other individuals, who seem to have met a similar fate, were buried in the cemetery at Karanog (Welsby 1996: 41). - Randi Haaland in Ritual and political aspects of iron working; iron in war and conflict.
