What do guards do in ancient Egypt?

Answer 1

In ancient times, Egyptian guards would protect royals such as the pharaoh and his family, fight enemies and kept order within the nation of Egypt. They would be equipped with wooden shields, spears, chariots and melee weapons. Egyptian life as a guard was tough, with only a few days sleep and, as one Egyptian schoolboy once wrote long ago, they're like the living dead. They would also put out fires oddly enough.
