A picture of the "cups and balls" that's drawn on the wall of the pyramids..any one got it saved or know a website with it? Cheers...
p.s If you can't find the picture, if you could get me the pyramid I'd be most grateful. |

The article said it was "bread baking." I thought they'd established that it was some sort of gambling game which led me to wonder if "Cups and Balls" _might_ have been derived from the game.

No such luk. if you read the wall you see all kinds of agricultural and homemaking images, no gambling, games, or mojo.

Ah! I misread the article I'd read _many_ years ago in MAGIC. I thought that wall had games and competitions. Oh well.
Thanks Pete.

There was a very good article by Jim McKeague in Magic (March 1997) that showed some photos of the wall painting as well as having a discussion about what the frieze might actually depict.

That must have been what I read. I _was_ aware that the article disproved the "cups and balls" theory, but I did think it suggested that it might have been a game rather than a performance. I'll have to see if I can dig out the article (if I even still have it) and re-read it. thanks.
