El juego tradicional del trompo en el Antiguo Egipto

Abstract

The knowledge of the origins and development of games through history and geography enhance and increase respect for other cultures and peoples and for the physical-motor activity itself. Different Egyptian researchers have shown us, over the years, a valuable documentation through the discovery of playful elements, through images located in tombs or mastabas of Ancient Egypt. We present in this article, the traditional game of the spinning top, which has been immortalized through various archaeological findings, and which are currently kept in different museums and private collections. It is evident that these discoveries help us to better understand many aspects of daily life in ancient Egypt from a playful point of view.
