The khopesh is an ancient Egyptian sword that originated from battle axes, its evolution a testament to the ingenuity of our ancestors. Typically measuring 50-60 cm in length, this versatile weapon was not limited to slicing and slashing, but also served as a formidable bludgeon due to its blunt tip, which doubled as a hook for grappling with enemies. As technology advanced, khopeshes transitioned from bronze to iron during the New Kingdom period, showcasing the adaptability of these early warriors.
