	Senet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Senet, a board game from predynastic and ancient Egypt, is the oldest board game whose ancient existence has been confirmed, dating to circa 3500 BC [1].
		The oldest remnants of any ancient board game ever unearthed however are those of Senet, found in Predynastic and First Dynasty burials of Egypt (see ref. [2]), circa 3500 BC and 3100 BC respectively.
		Consequently, Senet boards were often placed in the grave alongside other useful objects for the dangerous journey through the afterlife and the game is referenced in Chapter XVII of the Book of the Dead.

	senet: gaming with the gods
		The purpose of this senet ritual was to facilitate the passage of the ba of the celebrant, either living or dead.
		At the same time that senet first appeared in the text of BD 17, the decoration in the final five squares of the senet boards began to evolve from purely secular designs (numbers and directional markers) to religious symbols related to the process of spiritual resurrection and renewal in the afterlife.
		All the religious texts related to senet and the scenes of senet-playing on the walls of tombs, as well as the rubric of BD 17, are specific that ideally the senet gaming ritual was performed in or near the tomb, either in a sH-pavilion (apparently erected in the tomb courtyard), or inside the tomb itself.

		Senet began as a, strictly secular game and its evolution can be analyzed in a practical as well as mystical sense.

	Egyptian Game of Senet
		Senet (or the Game of Thirty Squares) is an ancient Egyptian board game that was already popular in 3000 BC, before even the use of hieroglyphic writing and still played into the early centuries of the AD period.
		Until relatively recently Egyptologists were not sure how the game of Senet was played, however images from tomb painting and a recovered religious record (written on papyrus) describing a dead man playing the game in the afterlife to secure his soul have allowed them a mostly complete understanding of how the game was played.
		It is suspected that the modern game of 'Tah es-siga' (which like Senet uses throwsticks) was partially derived from Senet.
