Snake (Mehen) game.
Egyptian alabaster, pigment.
Old Kingdom, Dynasties 3-6, ca. 2750-2250 B.C.


A game board in the form of a coiled snake was among the earliest Egyptian games. Using a set of lion-shaped and round markers, play started at the snake's tail, which was in the form of a bird's head. The two or four opponents raced each other to the goal located in the snake's head. Mehen was the name of the serpent deity whose coils protected the sun god.

***************
Wow! That's a very old board game!

You know I almost envy you the homework! (what's wrong with me?)
But the ancient Egyptians are so interesting


Good luck - these might help

Dorothy, there is a Rotten Ralph series of children's books and one is on egypt. They talk about many different things started in old egypt (the handshake for one). The first and second graders in the school I work at loved the book (unless they had it read one too many times to them).

Hey thanks littlek - I love Rotten Ralph.
