Military campaigns of the Pharaohs.ppt - Military campaigns of the Pharaohs. Write a story about the conquests of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.

The years of the life of Pharaoh Thutmose were marked by an upsurge in the country. This is one of the brightest and most influential pharaohs. He contributed to the economic, cultural development country, patronized artisans and bohemia. Formed the strongest army in Asia.

Reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III

Thutmose actually could not claim the throne. He was the son of Pharaoh Thutmose II, but his mother was a concubine, which blocked the path for him to the throne of Egypt. But fate decreed otherwise. When his father, Thutmose II, died, Hatshepsut, his father's wife (who is also his father's sister), ascended the throne. And she became a female pharaoh, which in itself is unprecedented. Hatshepsut arranged for Thutmose's marriage to her daughter. He became an official co-ruler, but without endowed authority.

Not everyone liked that the pharaoh was a woman. The high priest Menkheper-seneb and one of the most influential nobles of Egypt, Rekhmir, tried to overthrow her from the throne. However, this plan ended in failure. The female pharaoh ruled for twenty long years. Only after her death, Thutmose put on the crown. Having ascended the throne, he ordered the destruction of all reminders of her: statues, inscriptions on temples. Now he has become the sole ruler. The years of the reign of Thutmose 1479-1425 BC.
Thutmose became famous because he led a series of military campaigns that ended in victory. When Thutmose ruled, lucky military policy gave impetus to the development of Egypt. After military companies, many slaves appeared in the country, from among those taken prisoner. That helped a lot in the construction of large-scale structures. For example: Karnak temple with its obelisks was built by slaves. Including talented artisans from other countries taken prisoner. The temple was built on gold mined in campaigns. It was a symbol of conquest and power for Egypt. It was the main temple during the reign of Thutmose.

During the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose, much attention was paid to the construction of temples, almost always, projects were made by him. After successful campaigns, the temples were replenished with captured gold, silver, metal products, wood and other treasures. From campaigns he brought rare animals and birds.
He was the patron of artisans. The pharaoh sometimes himself created the design of jugs or other dishes, and only then, according to his sketches, products were made. Thanks to him, glassware began to be made in Egypt. And after each of his trips, he brought to Egypt the most skilled artisans from other countries.
Also, thanks to the conquests, the capital of Egypt during the time of Pharaoh Thutmose, the city of Thebes, was a developed center not only of Egypt, but also of Asia. were built luxurious palaces and temples. Many noble Egyptian families lived in the city.

Campaigns of Pharaoh Thutmose

After the death of Hatshepsut, when Pharaoh Thutmose ascended the throne, unrest began in Syria and Polestina. These are controlled states that paid tribute. Thutmose needed to consolidate his influence in these countries. Written sources describe that the Asiatic tribes rebelled, led by the ruler of Kadesh, and Thutmose was forced to defend the borders of Egypt from their invasion. Therefore, the official version of the campaign:

  • Defense of the borders of the state.
  • Raising morale in the army.
  • Accumulation of experience for further trips.
  • Capturing a large number of prisoners, they were officially slaves.
  • Capturing large amounts of gold, silver, precious fabrics and more

1503 BC is the date of the military campaigns of Thutmose, the date of the start of the brilliant conquests. Inspired by victory, after the first military campaign, the pharaoh decided not to stop and continue the conquests further. As a result of the military campaigns of Pharaoh Thutmose, all of Syria was conquered. The uprisings of the Syrian population were suppressed, all the tribes were subordinated, and the power completely passed control over to the pharaoh.

A number of Asian kings, seeing that the pharaoh's power was being consolidated in Asia, began to send him an annual tribute. Protecting yourself from the aggressive campaigns of the tyrant.
The view of the pharaoh was directed to the conquest of Syria, Phoenicia and Palestine. This helped the pharaoh establish economic and political dominance in Asia Minor. Later, military campaigns were organized in Nubia and neighboring countries.

Pharaoh Thutmose's campaign against the city of Megiddo

The campaign of Pharaoh Thutmose against the city of Megiddo is briefly characterized as the most victorious of all campaigns. There was a battle in the second year of the sovereign reign of the pharaoh.
The troops of the anti-Egyptian coalition set up camp near Megiddo, their task was to hold the fortified city. The armies of the pharaoh, in order to achieve their goal, had to cross the Carmel mountain range. Three roads passed through it. A narrow path in the middle and two wide ones on the sides. Having passed through them, the Egyptians could have reached the southeastern and northwestern parts of the city. Despite the fear of the Egyptian military leaders to follow the central route, Pharaoh Thutmose III personally led the army and passed through the path.
On May 14, the enemy's vanguard was defeated and the Egyptians reached the valley, where they had space for the development of maneuver and it was possible to deploy an army. Thutmose ordered not to join the battle until the main forces were brought up. The army of the anti-Egyptian coalition opposing them did not force events and was in no hurry to start the battle.

The Egyptians decided to set up their camp south of the Kina stream. On the night of May 15, the left wing of the Egyptian army advanced to Zefti, with the aim of cutting off the enemy's escape route to the north. Already in the morning, the Egyptian troops were prepared for battle. Pharaoh was the first to rush into battle, at the head of his ten thousandth army. The armies of Kadesh, Megiddo and their allies (the rebellious Asian tribes) standing under the walls of the fortress did not resist for long and, rather quickly, were put to flight.
The Egyptians missed the chance to immediately take the city, as they were engaged in the robbery of the enemy camp. Therefore, the ruler of Kadesh, who revolted, managed to escape from the besieged city. Approaching the city, Thutmose laid siege to it. A wooden fence was erected around the city. The Egyptians called her "Thutmose besieging the Asiatics". Several rulers in the city were lucky enough to escape, and they immediately hurried to offer peace to the pharaoh.

After a long seven months, the Megiddo garrison capitulated, the reason for the surrender was starvation, which began due to running out of provisions. The Egyptians got very large trophies: about 900 chariots, 2200 horses and a large number of livestock.

The conquest of Megiddo was very important in strategic terms, and Thutmose, realizing this, decided not to hesitate and continued his march north. Soon, three Lebanese cities submitted to him: Nuges, Inoam and also Herenker. The Egyptians, to block the way to the south, erected a fortress in the north. By this time, Thutmose had control over all of Palestine.
The capture of Megiddo was not only an important strategic success for the further conquest of Palestine and Syria, but also important event in the further existence and prosperity of Ancient Egypt, since the uprising of the Asian tribes was suppressed, and the pharaoh showed the power of his army.

Conclusion

Thutmose III greatly expanded the territory of Egypt and its influence in Asia. He created the strongest and invincible army, with which he conducted many successful campaigns and became the ruler of vast lands.
The creation of a powerful army and further conquest of lands gave a powerful impetus to the development of handicraft and culture under Thutmose. Many slaves appeared in the country, which means a lot of manpower. After the campaigns, a lot of gold settled in the treasury, which was used for construction, donations for temples and economic development.
Thutmose III entered the history of Egypt as a conqueror, and also due to the fact that under him Egypt was a prosperous country. Of all the pharaohs, it was he who conducted the largest number of campaigns and subjugated a large number of lands.

Most of the Asian rulers still considered him a tyrant, to whom they were forced to pay tribute, and who drove the inhabitants of Asian countries into slavery.
However, after the death of Thutmose, his followers failed to keep the borders of the state within the framework of his conquests.

§ 1 Egyptian army

Egypt, like all states ancient world, formed as a military camp. main goal nobility was enrichment. Having strengthened power in the country, the pharaoh and his nobles decided to expand the borders of their state. The era of military campaigns of the pharaohs began.

The rulers of Egypt began to strengthen their power, expand their possessions, and accumulate wealth. To wage war, the pharaoh needed a large trained army. For this purpose, every tenth young man was taken to long years into the army, and foreign warriors were hired from the wealth accumulated by the pharaohs.

The basis of the army was the infantry, armed mainly with bows and arrows, as well as daggers and spears. For protection, the warriors used wooden shields covered with leather, the body was covered with a leather breastplate, and the head was covered with a helmet.

Thanks to the invention of a new metal - bronze, the Egyptians gained an advantage over their enemies. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, it is stronger than copper and made it possible to cut copper and stone weapons used by enemies.

The Egyptians received another serious advantage over their enemies after the invention of war chariots. The chariot was a double wagon drawn by a pair of horses. There were two warriors on the chariot: one controlled the horses, the other, armed with a bow, fired at the enemy. The sides of the chariot, which protected the legs of the warriors, were covered with leather and decorated with metal plaques. Multi-colored ostrich feathers developed on the heads of the horses. The use of chariots made it possible to quickly surround and suddenly attack the enemy. Chariots were expensive, so only noble Egyptians could be charioteers. In addition, the charioteers were more likely to survive, since they were the last to enter the battle.

There were three main directions of military campaigns:

1. South to the country of Nubia, in order to capture gold mines and ivory;

2. To the west, through the Libyan desert, whose population was engaged in cattle breeding;

3. To the northeast, to Asia, where the Sinai Peninsula, rich in minerals, was located, and further, in the north, powerful states - Palestine, Phoenicia and Syria, from where silver and tin, expensive fabrics and wood were brought.

Pharaoh Thutmose, who lived around 1500 BC, achieved the greatest success. Under him, Nubia was captured, as well as large territory in Asia, down to the Euphrates.

In the conquered territories, the pharaohs left their governors, providing them with troops. The governors were obliged to collect tribute and send it to Egypt. The most common commodity was enslaved captives.

§ 3 Results of campaigns

The population of Egypt rejoiced at the victories. During the holidays arranged by the pharaohs, troops in ceremonial clothes, carrying rich booty, passed in front of the jubilant crowd. The pharaoh gave gifts to the people.

But the valuables captured in campaigns were not shared fairly. Most taken by the pharaoh. The rest he distributed to his commanders and charioteers. Most of the warriors ruined long campaigns. While they fought land overgrown, dams collapsed, channels dried up. Over time, dissatisfied with this situation, the Egyptians began to raise uprisings against the power of the pharaohs. This forced the rulers to hire foreigners into the army, giving them pay from the treasury. The pharaohs expected that in the event of a conspiracy of nobles or an uprising of ordinary Egyptians, mercenaries would come to the rescue faster.

In the I millennium BC. the Egyptians themselves began to be subjected to a regular invasion of enemies. Which, in the end, led to the fall of the great state.

A single state in ancient Egypt was born around 3000 BC. as a result of the conquest of Lower Egypt by the Upper. Since then, the rulers of Egypt have waged constant wars with their neighbors for the sake of seizing territory and slaves, as well as obtaining new wealth for their treasury. The most successful campaigns were conducted by Pharaoh Thutmose, who expanded the borders of the state to the Euphrates River. Conquest campaigns, on the one hand, enriched the pharaoh and his nobles, on the other hand, led to the ruin of farmers and the desolation of Egypt itself.

3. Transition to the study of a new topic.

So, we found out that artisans, farmers, nobles - all obeyed the pharaoh. The most powerful man in ancient Egypt.

The nobles, together with the pharaohs, participated in military campaigns.

Task for students: Why did the pharaohs make military campaigns?

Sample student response: The Egyptian pharaohs sought to strengthen their power, expand their possessions and increase their wealth. In order to conquer, they needed standing army- big and well trained. The scribes kept a strict record of the population and every tenth young man was taken into the army for many years.

Group work. Each group has its own task.

Task 1 (basic level)

The pharaoh's warriors were armed with bows, others with long spears, battle axes and daggers, the tips of these spears were made of bronze (copper, tin). This alloy was stronger than copper.

The Egyptian army used the labor of mercenaries: Ethiopians, Libyans, Syrians.

Foreign wars in rights were equalized with the Egyptian ones, they were also given lands as a reward.

How were the Egyptian wars armed?

Task 2 (transformative level)

Wars in ancient Egypt received state allowances, i.e. were in the public service. Weapons were also issued from the state, which in Peaceful time in most cases it was stored in warehouses. Chariots were purchased with their own money by charioteers, and they took horses from state stables.

Why did the ancient Egyptians care so much about their wars?

Task 3* (increased complexity)

Egyptian infantry in peacetime was used as a simple work force in heavy work - in quarries, during the delivery of stone blocks.

Warriors who fought on chariots were in a more privileged position than foot soldiers. Soldiers entered the service along with their slaves. Among the charioteers you can meet the children of important officials, priests. But sometimes among them there were representatives of the common people.

The pharaohs paid great attention to their army, in every possible way encouraged the hard work of a soldier. The most distinguished soldiers and their commanders were given lands and slaves, gold and silver insignia.

Were all soldiers in the Egyptian army equal? What does this fact say?

4. Working with the map. Textbook p.44.

Draw and complete the table:

The results of military campaigns

Consolidation of what was learned in the lesson

Task: Huge herds of sheep, cows, bulls, horses are being driven to Egypt along the dusty roads of Asia; they are carrying looted gold, bronze, fabrics, and expensive ebony. But the main prey is a lot of captives. Why were prisoners considered the main booty in war?

Answer: The captives became slaves, that is, they completely belonged to the owner. They could work, create something, enrich the owner, while they did not need to pay.

Homework:

  • Prepare an answer to the question. How were the campaigns of the pharaohs of ancient Egypt?
  • Work in workbook on the history of the ancient world. Issue 1. Page 24, assignment 28.
  • Quest for the curious!
  • Which of the military leaders of the past known to you sometimes acted the same way as Thutmose 3 in the battle of Megiddo: Alexander the Great, Hannibal, the Persian king Darius 2, the Roman commander Camillus, Caesar, Dmitry Donskoy, Peter 1, Rumyantsev, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Napoleon , Bagration, Barclay de Tolly, Skobelev, Brusilov, Denikin, Kolchak.

    Name at least 7-10 such commanders: (Alexander the Great, Caesar, Peter 1, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Napoleon, Bagration, Barclay de Tolly, Skobelev, Denikin, Kolchak did the same).

    1. Detachments of foot soldiers. The rulers of Egypt sought to strengthen their power, expand their possessions and increase their wealth. In order to lead the conquests, they needed a standing army - large and well trained. The scribes kept a strict record of the population, and every tenth young man was taken into the army for many years.

    Of these, detachments of warriors were formed, skillfully wielding one or another type of weapon. Some were armed with bows, others with spears, battle axes or daggers. Spearheads, hatchets and daggers were made of bronze. - an alloy of copper and tin. Bron-

    for harder than copper - bronze weapons gave warriors an advantage over those who had weapons made of copper and stone. However, bronze is not a very hard metal. We had to take care that the dagger did not bend upon impact - it was made short and massive.

    The infantrymen defended themselves with small light shields covered with the skins of spotted cows or wild animals - a leopard, lynx, hyena. Sometimes metal plaques were sewn onto the shields. Enemy fortresses were stormed, placing long ladders against the walls.

    Egyptian kingdom.

    2. War chariots. In the middle of the second millennium BC. e. The Egyptians began to use horse-drawn war chariots. The chariot had two spoked wheels. A platform was fortified on the axis between the wheels, where two stood - a charioteer, driving

    SHIY HORSES, And a chariot fighter who shot from a bow. The platform was attached to a long stick - a drawbar, for which two horses were carrying a chariot. The entire chariot, including wheels and spokes, was made of durable wood. Leather-covered boards were made on the platform to protect the legs of both warriors. The chariot was decorated with metal plaques, and multi-colored ostrich feathers fluttered on the heads of the horses.

    Detachments on chariots could travel long distances and suddenly attack the enemy.

    Major battles usually went like this: when the scouts reported the approach of the enemy, the Egyptian army prepared for battle. Archers came forward, showering the enemy with arrows from afar. Then came the chariots, bringing disorder into the ranks of the enemy. Then infantrymen armed with spears and axes entered the battle. The enemy, put to flight, was pursued in chariots.

    The chariot was very expensive. Therefore, only noble Egyptians could become charioteers. The war for them was a way to further enrich themselves.

    3. The army returns with booty. The pharaohs sent their troops to the south, to the west, to the northeast. South of Egypt was the country of Nubia. It was famous for its gold mines. To the west of Egypt lived tribes of Libyans who had large herds of cows, goats, and sheep. On the northeast, in Asia, very close to Egypt, was the Sinai Peninsula. He was rich in deposits copper ore. Further north were the countries - Palestine, Syria, Phoenicia.

    wealth neighboring countries pharaohs have long been deceived. When did they have a well-trained and armed army with



    light war chariots, they began to make campaigns there almost every year. The troops returned with booty to the capital of Egypt, which was then the city of Thebes. They drove cattle, brought valuable wood, gold, silver, woolen fabrics, vessels, jewelry.

    The largest conquests were made around 1500 BC. e. pharaoh Tutmbs. Under him, the Egyptians captured Nubia. The campaigns to Asia were also successful - the border of the Egyptian kingdom was pushed back to the Euphrates River. Only a few centuries later, the conquered peoples were able to free themselves from the power of the pharaohs.

    4. Captives are enslaved. From the conquered countries, Egyptian soldiers drove crowds of people. The winner had the right to kill the vanquished. If he spared the prisoner, then he became the master of his life and death. Captives could be turned into slaves, branded like cattle, and sold.

    At the celebrations in honor of the victory, the people rejoiced, seeing the invincible power of their

    Pharaoh's army on the march. Drawing of our time.

    masters. The pharaoh divided the booty and gave the captives to commanders and charioteers who distinguished themselves in battle. Many thousands of foreigners had to work the land, enriching the pharaoh and nobles.

    5. An ordinary soldier got only the hardships of a camp life. The Egyptians described his fate in this way: he wanders through the mountains and

    Pharaoh Thutmose's campaign against the city of Megiddo

    The army of Thutmose went on a campaign, the mountains blocked his path. The nobles warned: “You can get to the fortress through the gorge, but this path is too dangerous. It's better to take a detour." But Thutmose said: "I choose the shortest path in order to suddenly attack the enemies." The Egyptian army quickly passed the gorge and fought the enemy on the field near the fortress itself. The pharaoh rode ahead in a chariot that glittered gold in the sun. The opponents could not withstand the onslaught and fled to the city. It was necessary to pursue them until the gates were closed behind the retreating ones. But the Egyptians thought only of plundering the enemy camp. Time was lost - the gates of the fortress slammed shut. Only after seven months of siege, the pharaoh's troops captured Megiddo and returned to Egypt with huge booty.

    (From the ancient Egyptian chronicle)

    His Majesty is like a god in strength. He is as beautiful as the sun. In archery, he knows no equal. Like a falcon, he exterminates enemies tirelessly. On a brilliant chariot, he alone crushed hundreds of thousands of warriors. He instills fear with his formidable roar in the hearts of the peoples of all countries.

    cold; like a donkey, he carries on his back supplies of drink and stale cakes; suffers hunger and thirst; like cattle, they eat grass and drink rotten water. In battles he receives wounds, and beatings from his commanders. He serves away from his wife and children, returning home sick. His family is in poverty without a breadwinner: the fields are empty, crops are trampled by hippos and destroyed by birds.

    Pharaohs often distrusted Egyptian warriors. For their protection, they preferred a mercenary army of foreigners. The mercenaries, who received payment from the treasury, seemed to the pharaoh a more reliable support in case of a conspiracy of nobles or indignation of ordinary Egyptians.

    Explain the meaning of the words: bronze, infantryman, war chariot, drawbar, driver, charioteer, dart, mercenary army.

    Test yourself. 1. What weapons did the Egyptian soldiers use?

    2. How were the chariots arranged? What role did they play in the battles?

    3. For what purposes did the pharaohs keep a large army? 4. How did the Egyptians describe the fate of a simple warrior on a campaign? 5. Were the results of military victories the same for the pharaoh, commanders and ordinary soldiers? Work with the map (see p. 47).
