The Macedonian spear, the divine soldier who conquered the three ancient civilizations?

In the era of cold weapons, it was popular: one inch long and one inch strong

A long weapon was born on the battlefields of Europe, the Macedonian spear

Its length is generally about 4.6 meters, and the longest is 7 meters

The weight is about 10 pounds

The Macedonian spear is used less for single-soldier combat

It was mainly used to form the Macedonian phalanx

A small phalanx consisted of 64 infantrymen, a primary phalanx of 4096 men,

The first 6 rows of infantry were armed with spears and shields, like a barbed wall

As for how such a long spear is wielded

Thanks to the development of mathematical physics in ancient Greece

Using the principle of leverage, the tail of the spear is reasonably counterweighted with the corresponding hammer to balance

The Macedonian phalanx and spears became the weapons of God on the battlefield of Alexander's Crusade

Alexander's crusades conquered three ancient civilizations, first ancient Egypt and ancient Babylon

Hit east all the way to ancient India

In India, the Macedonian infantry phalanx was used to easily destroy the elephant army of ancient India

The thick-skinned elephant was also helpless in front of the Macedonian phalanx of giant hedgehogs
