THE CONCEPT OF THE NAME “MEDJAY”
The name Medjay was taken from Ancient Egypt’s history. They were warriors that inhabited the regions of northern Sudan and Southern Egypt, and ended up becoming an elite paramilitary force and the Pharaoh’s royal guard. The name Medjay may also be comprehended as a spirit of bravery and fight that is present in whole human story, for wherever you find warrior people, the Medjay spirit lies present.
