Civilizational role of the Egyptian army in the country The student of the role of the Egyptian army since its inception and throughout ancient Egyptian history will realize that this army has had a dual role. The first round is the main role as a military institution, which is to defend the countrys borders and security, deterrence and, if necessary, for those tempted to abuse the land of Egypt, and then expand the boundaries for sensing the danger of neighboring peoples. The second round is his role in civic life, which is to contribute with the civilians in the establishment of projects necessary for the development of the country. We talked about the ancient Egyptian texts some times where things that require the mobilization of the army, and remember the roles they played in the Egyptian military land reclamation and the construction of canals, dams, and to strengthen the shores of the Nile River and its branches to reduce the risk of flooding. In addition to participating in the construction of housing in villages and cities, and to build temples to the gods and kings, and other facilities of religious and civil, but some sources refer to the role of the educated them to participate in the education of pupils in the various stages of education. Then there is their role in agriculture, handicrafts, architecture and the arts, in addition to trade within the country and abroad. The volunteer military - before settling the idea of the army organizer - in peacetime, and are treated as civilians taking part in all the work that I have mentioned and others. It was for them as well as another role within the country is as important as their role in the progress and prosperity of the country, namely to secure the country from the inside, along Makoat police. They were their guards its borders, and they are the ones who believe in the mission of mines and quarries in the Sinai and the Eastern Desert and western oases, and who contribute to the police in securing the life of the king and his family and senior state officials, as well as to secure the celebrations and holidays secular and religious in terms of supervision and regulation and protection. They were also the ones who are involved in securing the navigation in the Nile River, and in the protection of state facilities and installations worldly and religious. If we have in our contemporary history a national service to the armed forces to contribute to the implementation of state projects, grandparents knew that since ancient times, and managed to take advantage of the Egyptian military in war and in peace. It is clear, then, that the Egyptian army has played a clear role in achieving Alastaqraraly the land of Egypt, and in the development of the capacities of their homeland along with the civilians out of the country, it was the Egyptian army a distinct role in boosting relations between Egypt and its neighbors, not to mention the role of civilization, which is fighting to defend the soil of his country. As for the level of relations between Egypt and its neighbors, since ancient times, travelers Egyptians out beyond the borders of Egypt to the east, west and south in an attempt to get to know the conditions of the neighboring peoples, and closer friendship with them, and explore all that is new to them. Since the Fourth Dynasty, and we hear about campaigns, land and sea sent by the kings of Egypt for peaceful purposes, King Bent the first king of the Fourth Dynasty (2613 - 2589 BC. AD) sent a fleet of forty ships to Phoenicia (Lebanon current) to bring cedar wood, which is famous for its by the mountains of Lebanon to make the gates of the palace of King and others. The order of protection such missions entrusted to the military. In the Fifth Dynasty, during the reign of King Sahora, came out Egyptian mission in the custody of soldiers to the country, Pont (probably located south of the Red Sea at the strait Bab el Mandeb, and include Yemen, on the one hand, and Somalia and Eritrea on the other hand), so as to bring incense which is used frequently in Egyptian temples. In the Sixth Dynasty rulers out some Aswan heading south toward neighbors Egypt southerners living south Wadi Halfa in an attempt to get to know their country, and that was always in the protection of Egyptian soldiers. In the eighteenth dynasty know that the Queens famous Hachpsot had sent a mission to the country, punt, which was composed of five ships led by the commander of the fleet, which is accompanied by an officer and eight soldiers. This is the mission pictured on the walls of the Temple, Bahari the queen Hachpsot in the western city of righteousness Luxor. The mission returned laden with incense, and as I went to punt in the protection of soldiers, returned to Egypt to protect them as well. The text says: (returned soldiers master the two countries (King of Egypt) safely to their home, and dropped the anchor in good). It was Egypts foreign trade with Syria, Palestine and the Mediterranean islands - such as Crete and Cyprus, and others - take place in the protection of Egyptian soldiers, and the insurance trade, and thus ensure the safety of the Egyptian economy.
