Ancient Egyptian princesses' combat skills revealed
A recent archaeological study has revealed that ancient Egyptian princesses during the Middle Kingdom were not merely members of the royal family living in palaces and luxury. Instead, they engaged in activities that required physical strength and fighting skills, such as archery, hunting, and the use of weapons, about four thousand years ago. Bone analysis of six royal mummies, including sisters believed to be daughters of King Amenemhat II, showed that they possessed strong muscular builds in their arms and shoulders, with indicators of regular physical activity and familiarity with bows and daggers. Additionally, it was found that some of the princesses had old fractures that healed well, reflecting a high level of medical care in ancient Egypt. This discovery helps reconstruct details of their daily lives and offers insight into their physical and military activities during that period.
