Sports in Pharaonic Egypt

(Science and Knowledge Series for Sports Training - Part Ten)
✍ Author: Professor Dr. Wagdi Mustafa Al-Fatih

Between the walls of temples, on papyrus scrolls, and inscriptions carved on stones, the features of a civilization emerge that was not only concerned with art, politics, and religion, but in which sports were an integral part of cultural and societal identity.
In this unique book, Dr. Wagdi Mustafa Al-Fatih presents us with an extensive and rich study of sports in Pharaonic Egypt, within the "Science and Knowledge for Sports Training" series, establishing a scientific and historical vision that blends academic knowledge with the civilizational spirit.

⚱️ When sports become a mirror of civilization

This comprehensive work examines aspects of sports in Pharaonic times, not only as physical activities, but also as social and spiritual practices with multiple functions: from military preparation to mental training to religious rituals.
