Abstract
The war, in both construction and social
phenomenon, is no stranger to the frames of
sense of the community in which it develops.
In Ancient Egypt the war, at the service of the
state apparatus, functioned as mechanisms of
legitimation of royal power. In this paper we
analyze that aspect from the Egyptian
religious worldview, taking into account the
categories of analysis developed by the
historian of religions Mircea Eliade. We begin
with some general considerations about the
war and the concept of the foreign, to end then
with an analysis of the “Poem of Pentaur”
from the Battle of Kadesh.
