Monuments to the Pharaohs found at Beni Hasan dating to around 2000 BC[14] indicate that a number of sports, including wrestling, weightlifting, long jump, swimming, rowing, shooting, fishing[13] and athletics, as well as various kinds of ball games, were well-developed and regulated in ancient Egypt. Other Egyptian sports included javelin throwing, high jump, and wrestling.[15] An earlier portrayal of figures wrestling was found in the tomb of Khnumhotep and Niankhkhnum in Saqqara dating to around 2400 BC.[6][16] |
