Thousands of years ago, Ancient Egyptians laid down the basic rules for competitive games. They chose neutral referees, uniforms for each team in multiplayer games, and celebrated winners by dressing them with different necklaces. Ancient Egyptians even held many local and international sports competitions and festivals where the best athletes from other countries participated. Prizes were given to the winners to encourage them. These competitions were ruled by judges from Mittani Empire (between northern of Syria, Turkey, Iran and Iraq) and Canaanites cities (Palestine, Lebanon and Syria) and Nubia cities (Southern of Egypt and Sudan). Ancient Egyptian kings, princes, and statesmen were keen on attending sports competitions, which they encouraged and provided with the necessary equipment. Popular individual sports such as hunting, fishing, boxing, javelin throwing, wrestling, gymnastics, weightlifting, and rowing and the ancient Egyptian version of hockey were the most popular team sports, and a form tug-of-war. Archery was popular as well, but primarily limited to the royalty and nobility. Sporting events in ancient Egypt were part of the religious rituals and festivals honoring the gods. Participants often staged simulated battles between Horus and Set's followers to celebrate Horus' victory and celebrate the harmony and balance over the forces of chaos. This essay focuses on four aspects of sports in Ancient Egypt: the role of sports in society, sports of the nobility, ancient Egyptian sports that later became Olympic sports, and the invention of the Jubilee and its celebration.
