Survival and utilitarian activities evolved and developed over hundreds of centuries into recreative activities. During Tutankhamun's Eighteenth Dynasty, Egypt enjoyed prosperity and a high standard of living. Participation in sporting activities became a tradition mainly among the pharaohs and members of the top social class. About thirty-six percent of all kings are recognized as sportsmen. Tutankhamun's tomb reflected this sporting tradition; Carter, the discoverer, found a great amount of sporting equipment. He also found ritual, symbolic, and other scenes portraying the young King as a sportsman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Zaki El Habashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820417823\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820417820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Zaki El Habashi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48483717710079,"sku":"9780820417820","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2caa1674-6621-4e21-8776-9b30c57e5323.jpg?v=1778040201","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tutankhamun-and-the-sporting-traditions-zaki-el-habashi-9780820417820","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
