Authentic Reproductions of Ancient Egyptian Art by Natalie Watson
Fighting With Sticks
Reproduction of a stone block from the Pyramid causeway of King Sahure showing soldiers training in the art of stick fighting.
At 4,500 years old, this is one of the earliest depictions in ancient Egypt of soldiers being trained. Each pair consists of a student in a loincloth practising against an instructor in a kilt. The hieroglyphics show the instructor's words of encouragement and direction.
