Egyptian Shield (Timeless)

The Egyptian Shield is a common shield that can be found in Ancient Egypt. It offers a very good protection and probably won't break in the battlefield, but will slow you down when you are carrying it

Appearance and origins
It is rectangular in shape, with the upper end tappered into a more pointy or circular shape. While the interior shows wooden planks, the exterior is covered by a few layers of cow hide, and there is an horizontal strap inside to carry it. It is based on the most widely used shield by egyptian soldiers, and that carried on for multiple centuries. Unlike the original egyptian shield, this one can be folded back via hinges and strapped to the player's back

Strategies
While it is quite slow, this shield is simple to use, can shove zombies out of its way, stop many projectiles and close range attacks as well as hold out easily without breaking. It will work very well against projectiles and weapons ; due to its large size, it will more easily block attacks from Egyptian Hunters, and will stop Kâ Zombies from using their weapons. It does have a few flaws tho, as you can run away from big ennemies, and it can get shoved out of your hands by Khepesh Zombies or Khepesh Mummies, so you should be careful with these two around. It has most of its uses against mummies; it will not only deal great damage when shoved in their faces, but also has a large hitbox, so it will block most of their attacks, even if they are small, and will most likely hit them hard, leaving them stalled enough to be killed with an Egyptian Spear. Zombie Cobras will also easily get killed by the shoving attack, making it useful. Be careful tho, as it might not block every single attack, especially when it comes from something much heavier than you like Abu Simbel Colossuses which can send you away even if you block their swings. If it is shoved out of your hands, you can take it back, and if it is destroyed, you can replace it with something you found on the map but will have it back once the level ends

Trivia

 * It is the first weapon/shield that actually slows you down
