[QUOTE]Originally posted by alTakruri: [QB] O U T L I N E This study provides an overview of Ancient Egyptian sea power by examining the written and archaeological evidence to develop an explanation for the origin of naval forces. The applicability of sea power during the formation of the Egyptian state is considered, as is the important contribution of naval forces to the rise of central government and state building processes. Through examination of a broad range of Egyptian cultural customs and beliefs it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of maritime Egypt. As with modern naval forces, much of what is common practice at sea is often left unsaid and unrecorded. The depth of the naval influence on a maritime state is often visible within their image of themselves, their gods and their language. Changes in Ancient Egyptian maritime technologies are also examined to understand better the boat and ship capabilities used by the Ancient Egyptians. A review of the maritime operations of the Ancient Egyptian naval forces follows. The modern concept of a span of maritime operations, including military, diplomatic and constabulary, is used to categorise and evaluate Ancient Egyptian operations. This section, along with the associated listing contained in Appendix 1, reveals the extent and variety of the evidence of the influence of sea power on Ancient Egyptian history. Despite a few minor differences, a somewhat surprising degree of similarity may be observed between the naval activities of the Ancient Egyptians and those undertaken by today’s navies. The information evaluated will be used to form an interpretive model for the origin of naval forces in Ancient Egypt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
