Police in Ancient Egypt - From Medjay to Centurion DOCUMENTARY
A history documentary on the the police of Ancient Egypt, from Medjay to Centurion! Get your free trial of MagellanTV here: try.magellantv.com/invicta. MagellanTV is a new kind of streaming service run by filmmakers with 3,000+ documentaries! Check out our personal recommendation and MagellanTV’s exclusive playlists: www.magellantv.com/explore/hi...
In this episode, we explore how the ancient civilization of Egypt kept the peace. This involves millennia spent developing one of the most sophisticated police systems of the ancient world which at its height employed around 3% of the entire population. Even the famed Nubian Medjay warriors joined their ranks!
We begin the history documentary in the Old Kingdom of Egypt where the first police got their start as the private guard of the elite. By the Middle Kingdom of Egypt, the establishment of a swelling army brought greater numbers and organization to the police force which grew to unprecedented heights by the time of the New Kingdom period. We talk about the intricacies of this system and how it would be adapted by new conquerors like Macedon and Rome throughout antiquity. Particular attention is paid to the systems of Ptolemaic Egypt and Roman Egypt due to the higher amount of records available.

The medjay and police baboons automatically make Egypt’s police force super cool. Plus, their laws were pretty strict and punishments for crimes were often severe beatings or immediate execution. They didn’t really have prisons in ancient Egypt so you’d be punished right after your conviction in court.

Well, there were three crimes generally considered worthy of capital punishment in ancient Egypt: murder, treason, and, of course, grave robbing. Technically, the pharaoh was supposed to notified of any court case where death was the possible punishment, and double-check the trial so that death was not deal out arbitrarily. In practice, however, the pharaoh had to delegate that authority to officials of his choice, since he could only be in one place at a time.

Not sure about the Arabs, but it was harsh under the Byzantine rule. The Byzantine Emperors sought to purge Egypt of the Coptic Christians, and to establish the Greek Orthodox as the only religion. Therefore, when the Muslim armies arrived in Egypt, the local Egyptians readily supported the Muslims.

@Ghost Ghost The Byzantines really were their own worst enemies as they married the Roman favorite pastime of generals or royal court members throwing the country into civil war with the Christian obsession of my particular interpretation of this religion is the correct one and everyone else is a heretic. State religions always cause massive problems. If they had kept to the old Roman tradition of as long as you pay your taxes and homage to the Emperor you are free to worship what you want, the Levant and Egypt might not have fallen to the Arabs. Well, they would still have their incessant civil wars. Can't stamp out that particular Roman hobby.

When invaders from non-African cultures get involved I feel disappointed. Like, I don’t want to learn about European & Arab empires, while in Africa….
