While the young men chased lions and ostriches across the desert, dignified husbands and wives relaxed over a game of senet, their children played with balls and dolls and entire families spent the day hunting fowl in the marshes. Egyptian kings took their own physical fitness and sporting prowess very seriouslyas living demigods they expected to dominate on the sports field just as they dominated in every other sphere of Egyptian life. Sport even played an important role in Egyptian ritual, with aging kings required to demonstrate, by running a race, their continuing fitness to rule.
