The exact origin of curved swords is something that has been debated for years. It is generally accepted that the majority of
them came from the East.
Most likely manifested somewhere around Egypt, with the appearance of the khopesh (a weapon somewhere between sickle
and sword).
Since then, a number of curved blades began appearing in the East and westerners took to calling them "Scimitars".
Technically, there isn't one sword that is called a scimitar; the term refers to the entire groupthat came
from East (excluding the Japanese curved katana). The term may be a derivative of Shamshir which was a thin curved blade from
Persia, although the shamshir wasn't really popularized until the 1500s. Other scimitars include the kilij (think of the massive
cleavers from Aladin and you have a fairly accurate picture), and the Indian Tulwar (somewhere between a shamshir and a kilij).
Some smaller curved weapons from the east include the Kopis (a knifelike curved blade that probably was the predecessor
of the Khopesh), the Nepalese kukri and the hook-handled falcata of ancient Spain. Fantasy has had it's share of Scimitars.
Most notably, perhaps, is the Dark Elf Drizzt Do'Urden, of the Forgotten Realms book series by R.A. Salvatore. Drizzt used two
flashy scimitars when he fought, one in each hand, filleting his foes whenever he drew them. More recently, the Lord of the
Rings movies show many of the elven characters weilding swords similar to scimitars.
