Abstract EN
The eighteenth dynasty witnessed the launching of numerous successful military campaigns that led to the establishment of the great Egyptian empire that extended in its peak from the Euphrates River to the fourth cataract in Nubia.
The military documents from this period concentrated on glorifying the heroic actions of the kings and their victories over the enemies.
This leads to reasonably ask about the feelings of the soldiers when they received the order of getting prepared for war.
No doubt negative thoughts might find their ways to penetrate into their minds like being killed in the battlefield by the hands of the ruthless enemies.
Therefore this paper concentrates on indicating the various methods of providing soldiers with moral powers before combating the enemies.
For it is clearly known that the spiritual condition of the soldiers represents one of the principal reasons for achieving victory.
The moral powers as shall be clarified in this paper included creating the combating motivation, presenting the ethical justification for the reason of launching the campaign, providing positive ideas like magnifying the virtue of courage to gain glory and obtain better fate in the afterlife, emphasizing the divine intervention, recalling the past historical events represented in the Hyksos occupation and the victories of the great predecessor kings.
