When the sea people attacked Ancient Egypt they got their butt kicked—Even though they had iron weapons, and the Egyptians has bronze—they Egyptians could marshal large armies and fleets of ships. If you have inferior weapons—go with superior numbers and organization. One thing you got to give to the Egyptians—they were good at organization skills. They were also defending their homeland from invaders—that also gave them an edge. After this—Egypt went to Iron Weapons.

Interesting. I vaguely recall their being repulsed by the Egyptians, but wasn’t that just initially - didn’t they come back and at least force tribute from them?

I’m surprised to find the Egyptians stopped an army of Minotaurs.

I thought the Ancient Egyptians got Iron Weapons from the Hittites and chariots and horses from the Hyksos.
