Yes, ancient Egyptians did have sWords, although they were not the primary weapon in their arsenal. Early sWords were typically made of bronze or copper and appeared around the Middle Kingdom period. By the New Kingdom, they had developed more advanced weapons, including the khopesh, a curved sWord that was effective in combat and symbolized power. SWords were used by infantry and elite warriors, but bows and spears remained more common in warfare.
