until some ingrates destroyed it all, killed the first born son of every native Egyptian and fled into the desert
Wow! That looks like a helicopter, UFO, and a yacht.
No Kraken? I thought they had a Kraken..
They did, until they stopped worshipping Ra.
I thought more like a blimp than a ufo, and i think you missed the ‘desert land speeder’
Maybe it’s COVID-19BC?
LOL...thank you.
I am feeling somewhat grim tonight...that brought a smile to my face-nice work!
Well played! Bravo.
Thanks
But the Hittites stopped the Egyptians at Kadesh. According to archaeologists, the Hitties had chrome-plated swords. The Hittites appear also to have figured out how to make tungsten carbide by roasting the ore and reducing it with charcoal to form tungsten carbide at low temperatures. There are hundreds of tungsten ore deposits in Egypt. Tungsten carbide could have been use on saw blades teeth to cut granite. These Hittites were Not stupoid. There are apparently machine sawn stone blocks at Hattusha. If there was any iron used by either party, it rusts away to nothing after 2000 years.
i know i've thrown up sh1t from previous lifetimes on occasion...
The hook behind the khopesh’s point was used to grasp the top of an opponent’s shield and pull it down while the concave shape permitted a direct thrust at the now exposed enemy. Note the point is aligned with the handle. The sharp convex blade also greatly enhanced the weapon’s cutting and slicing abilities.
Looks like a P 39 Airacobra, a great tank-killer used by Russians “Black Witches” women pilots with good success.
It does resemble a P-39. When I was a kid I built several as models. The Army lost a lot of pilots due to the shaft coming apart between the engine and propeller.
Actually, the P-39 wasn’t really used for killing tanks. “This is because the Soviet term for the mission of the P-39, prikrytiye sukhoputnykh voysk (coverage of ground forces) is commonly translated ground support, which is often taken to mean close air support. In Soviet usage, it has a broader meaning. Soviet-operated P-39s did make strafing attacks, but it was “never a primary mission or strong suit for this aircraft”.”
This is from the wikipedia article on the plane.
