=Tools and Weapons=

Ancient Maya:
Everything from sharp stones to bow drills. The Petrie Museum houses has many finds of the tools used in ancient Egypt. Some of its collection includes:


 * Flint Tools -Lots of them.
 * Greywhacke (related to sandstone ) tool rubbing.
 * Wooden cramps.
 * Many of Axes
 * Bronze chisels

Maya Stone working Tools:
Mayan villages, temples and palaces were largely shaped as blocks of stone. The main materials used in the construction of monuments of limestone, sandstone and fine grained volcanic rock , all of which could be worked by using stone tools more resistant. Stone chisels and scalers of different sizes were used to shape and add details to the stone work. Small chisels were used by the Maya sculptors of finer carving.

Here are different kinds of chisels:

Weapons:
The weapons were necessary in the war unless you were using bare fists. Some of their weapons were amazing :
 * Archery
 * A projectile weapon used for long distance combat . This weapon was created 2,500 years ago approximately.
 * Knife
 * A short blade used for stabbing.
 * Thrower
 * A gun, short or long distance . It is a long stick with a blade at the tip . May be thrown or used as a weapon to disrupt.
 * Spear Throwers
 * A device used to launch the spear . The nozzle was placed in a slot in the atlatl Atlatl then was attached to the arm . After throwing the spear tip of the spear ( a dart ) was screened out of the spear in prayer . After the battle was over the submarine ( not the dart ) could be retrieved.
 * A stick
 * This was something of a record to crush the enemy, not stab them . The club was widely used.
 * Reaping hook
 * A curved blade used for cutting grass . It could also be used for battle.

This is how Maya fought and what they were for fighting.



Weapons of war:
Soldiers were important in Egypt around 3000 B.C. The Egyptian army was well organized.In the war, they protected them selves with large shields made of wood rather than carrying a heavy amour. They were armed with battle axes and spears.

Ancient Axes:
The axe was used as weapon all over the Middle East. The **silver-handled axe** was a long  knife designed to cut movement. The **open work axe** is ceremonial, but could also have made a good weapon.

Medals:
Golden flies were given to a soldier who has done good work in combat.

Tools:
Many of the tools of the ancient Egyptian carpenter have survived.

Chopper:
The axe appears in the hieroglyph for the word of carpenter, Its use was for cutting down the trees and made them boat planks of coffin panels.

Saw:
Carpenters held the wooden handle and pulled the saw through the wood. This action was opposite to the action of the modern saw, which is pushed.

Conclusion:
I think Ancient Egypt got quite a bit more tools than Ancient Maya. They are more, functional, effective and strong. But I think in weapons for war Ancient Maya got many. They are effective and strong enough because they are made of stones and things like that.
