Egyptian Games and Sports by Joyce A Tyldesley
The Ancient Egyptian enjoyed a wide range of sports and games - young men chased lions and ostriches across the desert, while dignified married couples relaxed over a game of 'senet'. Children played with balls and dolls. Even the Egyptian kings took their own sporting prowess very seriously - as living demi-gods they were expected to dominate the sports field just as they dominated every other sphere of Egyptian life.
Joyce Tyldesley studied the archaeology of the eastern Mediterranean at Liverpool University. In 1986 she was awarded a DPhil in archaeology from Oxford University. She has a wide range of fieldwork experience, having excavated extensively in Britain, Europe and Egypt. Dr Tyldesley is a well-known broadcaster and the author of many books, both scholarly and more popular, on Ancient Egypt.
