Ancient Egyptian Soldiers
Why did so many ancient civilizations have goddesses of war when women weren't allowed to be soldiers...?
...in so many of them?
the Greeks had Athena, Enyo, and others like Nike and Eris who were associated with aspects of war
the Romans had Minerva, Bellona, Nerio, Victoria, and Vacuna
the Etruscans had Menrva
the Aztecs had Itzpapalotl, Toci, Cihuacoatl,
the Irish had Anann/Mórrígan, Badb, Macha, Banba, Brigid, Danu, Nemain,
the Egyptians had Ankt/Anouke, Astarte, Bastet, Menhit, Pahket, Sekhmet, Satis, Wadjet
A bunch of others can be found on this website and through further research: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:War_goddesses
One answer could be that the men were more of the blunt force fighters, so war, battles, etc, while women are more about strategy and cunning plans. And though women may not have been allowed to be soldiers, they did still have a part in the community. Besides, not ALL of the gods could be produced by an asexual being.

Ancient Egyptians: The Battle of Megiddo (2003) 1 of 5
is this fact true? "ancient egyptian and roman soldiers drew their enemies faces on the soles of their shoes?
...so that they could literally 'step on them'??
i found this info on a website and am trying to verify it???
As a fact for all soldiers?? I would doubt it. It's a sweeping generalisation with no basis in historic fact.
Did some soldiers do this? Maybe. It would be seen as an insult but I'm pretty sure stabbing them in a battle was considered a greater insult!
EDIT: To Alex - I hope that isn't a serious answer or I may lose faith in the modern education system.
