In Pharaoh Tutankhamon's tomb (KV62) there was found a number of weapons and Walking Staves. The Staves (plural of Staff) were thought to be for walking. However the Ancient Egyptian practice of Martial Arts was called Tahtib or "Stick fighting." This would complement his collection of weapons not just as a collection, but as arms for continuing the practice in his Afterlife in Duat. The Staves are thought by Egyptologists to be for his clubbed foot (etc.) for walking, and had evidence of usage. If however the Staves were actually weapons, then this theory is not the case.
