This text by Terence Wise explores some of the fascinating peoples who
comprised the ancient armies of the Middle East: the Sumerians, who
were the first to introduce the use of bronze into warfare, and were
centuries ahead of the Egyptians in the use of the wheel – The
Akkadians, whose citizen army was composed almost entirely of light
troops – The Babylonians, whose people were granted land in return for
army service – the horned warriors of the Elamites – the Egyptians,
with thier heavy spearmen and archers – the tribal and warlike Libyans
– Nubians and Ethiopians – Hyksos – the armies of the Hittite Empire –
the Sea People and others.
