Ancient Egypt had developed its martial art techniques to include a wooden training sword. Ancient Egyptians had invented the first Buken long time ago before China or Japan. The actual fighting -sword that had been used in Egypt had something to do with the scimitar swords meanwhile it doesn't fit to any of the well known scimitar types. As a matter of fact, the techniques of use relate to that Egyptian sword are still to be unknown. The Egyptian Museum has an interesting number of the wooden-training sword; the most famous in the whole collection are the wooden-training swords of king Tutankhamun which belong to the 18th dynasty which is around 1400 B.C.
