  Egyptian Warfare - Battles...

  In the earliest periods of Ancient Egypt, military organization was relatively simplistic, reflecting the needs of a society transitioning from small, independent communities to a unified state. During the Predynastic and Early Dynastic periods, military efforts were often led by local chieftains or emerging kings, whose power was consolidated through the control of small, regional armies. These early forces primarily consisted of able-bodied men called upon when conflicts arose, rather than a standing army.  
  The unification of Upper and Lower Egypt under King Narmer marked a significant turning point in the military structure. With this unification came the need for more organized military strategies to maintain control over the expansive territories. The pharaoh, regarded as both a political and military leader, played a central role in directing military campaigns and defending borders. Early depictions on palettes and reliefs show the pharaoh as a warrior, symbolizing strength and divine authority in battle. This image was crucial in asserting dominance and maintaining internal order. 
  Weapons used during this time were relatively basic, often crafted from stone, wood, and copper. Warriors wielded maces, spears, and simple bows, which were effective in close combat and hunting but limited in more advanced warfare. Shields made from animal hides provided some defense, but armor was scarce, as mobility remained more valued than heavy protection. Chariots, which would later become integral to Egyptian military prowess, had not yet been introduced, and combat primarily involved foot soldiers engaging in skirmishes.

That said, most people have some of each type of the symptoms, only in different combinations, which makes understanding how it works more appreciable. This chapter focuses on personality concepts that will help you understand how your anxiety works.

  The war of the three realms begins here… 
  In the heart of the Samtoy Nation during the pre-colonial era of Philippine history, the world of Filipino heroes, deities, and mythological monsters collide in an ambitious re-telling of a classic Filipino epic. 
  Our story begins with Namongan, a healer and midwife from an isolated village in the Ilocos Region who discovers that she is destined to bear a child blessed by the Poon deities. This child is Lam-ang and he is the first Lakandian. Maturing at a rate unheard of amongst mere mortals, Lam-ang also possesses the strength of a hundred men and was trained to be the greatest warrior for good the mortal realm has ever seen. 
  Together with Mangmankik, an anito spirit assigned to look after him by the Poons, Lam-ang sets out on a quest to find the missing pieces of the Gayaman Amulet and rescue his father who was abducted by the insidious night creatures on the night that he was born. 
  This book covers the first half of the life of Lam-ang, derived from the Ilocano epic Biag ni Lam-ang. The story follows the adventures of our hero as he uncovers the truth about himself as well as the truth about his role in the war between the forces of good and evil that threatens not just the fate of the world of men but all the realms of the spirit world as well.

  World-renowned philosopher A. C. Grayling explores the messy politics of the 'culture wars' 
   
   
   
  It seems like we can't talk about anything nowadays . .  . Whether it's war or something utterly inconsequential, the internet is primed for furor. And the results can be horrifying—from online pile ons and doxing to job loss and, in some cases, death. But how did we end up here? 
   
   
   
  Nuanced and historically grounded, A. C. Grayling searches for middle ground in an otherwise incendiary debate. Looking at the history of cancellation, from Ancient Greek 'ostracism' through hemlock cups, witch trials, and the House of Un-American Activities, Discriminations is a timely examination of the state of our public culture and the chilling effect it's having on intellectual discourse.
