Juegos tradicionales en el antiguo egipto

Abstract

Ancient history is able to provide us with a large and interesting information about the games played our ancestors. In this case, different Egyptologists have shown us over the years a valuable documentation through the discovery of playful elements through images in tombs and mastabas of Ancient Egypt. We present in this article, some activities related to the traditional game, and that have been immortalized both in iconography, as in archeology and museums. It is evident that the decoration in the form of painting and carved in relief in the tombs of some temples, represents in an impressive way scenes that help us to better understand many aspects of daily life in ancient Egypt from a ludic-motor point of view. We consider that the knowledge of the origins and development of games through history and geography enhances and increases respect for other cultures and peoples and for physical activity itself
