Egyptian Scimiter from Tell El-Dab'a in the Eastern Nile Delta (circa before 1500 BC)
Egyptian "scimitar." Labeling is as in original.[1]
An Egyptian excavation described a "scimeter," with a picture so labeled:
- The warrior was put into his tomb in a supine slightly contracted position with his head towards the entrance. On his left hand was found an amethyst scarab; possibly belonging to a now lost ring. He was buried with his weapons and an assemblage of different pottery types. Bones of goats or sheep placed on a dish next to his head are remains of a meat offering. He wore a copper belt with an attached dagger with five middle ribs on his left side. In his arms he held a scimitar still in its sheath.[2]
