Seesaw in ancient Athens - both familiar and unfamiliar! It's a seesaw, but apparently it was normal to stand on the ends and jump up and down!? Seems like a higher-stakes game than we are used to. Also, apparently girls did actually do things besides spinning. #ancientgreece #athensgreece #greekpottery #redfigure #seesaw #ancientgames #womeninantiquity #feminism #teetertotter

So I’ve been playing an ancient Egyptian game called Senet. I’ve played by the modern rules, and am dissatisfied with the way that it is played, in that I think there is much more behind the game than we might realize! 

I’ve loved Ancient Egypt since I was around 9 or 10 years old. This game intrigues me because of its origin and its mystery. 

?1) Is there anyone out there that has played it?

?2) Why is it, in the image, this person is playing alone?

Theory on ?2: It is a game to be played with the dead. I’m no archeologist, but this could also explain why there are two cartouche. Perhaps one would be the player, and the other would be the other-worldly opponent. It’s just something to think about. If anyone can help me with this, feel free to follow and all that jazz.
