DataScenes Mobile Apps - Sabiya Senet
Senet is an ancient Egyptian game, known nowadays through two main sources – pictures of
people playing the game, and actual boards and pieces found in various places.
So far as we can tell, it was a popular game, at least for those individuals who had the
wealth and time to enjoy leisure pursuits. Some pictures in tombs show the deceased person
playing against gods, but we do not know if this was intended to represent some kind of
test of worthiness beyond the grave, or simply an optimistic view of the pleasures of the
afterlife.
