As Ahmed Diab said, even Queen Hatshepsut organized competitions in freestyle wrestling, fencing, swimming, ball games, and confirmation of this can be found in one of the temples in Deir al-Bahri
The pharaohs were the first to invent sports, and therefore the founders of the Olympic competitions can be considered the ancient Egyptians, not the Greeks. This statement was made by the researcher of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs Ahmed Diab from the University of Klagenfurt (Austria).
“The ancient Greeks are credited with the idea of creating the Olympics from behind Mount Olympus in Greece,” said the historian. "However, the ancestor of the Olympic Games can be considered the ancient Egyptian civilization millennia before the Greeks, which, in particular, is evidenced by numerous hieroglyphs."
As Ahmed Diab said, even Queen Hatshepsut organized competitions in freestyle wrestling, fencing, swimming, ball games, and confirmation of this can be found in one of the temples in Deir al-Bahri in the vicinity of Luxor, where there are numerous ancient Egyptian monuments. And she herself, the researcher added, was a jogger.
In addition, according to the historian, in the province of Al-Minya in Upper Egypt, you can see many murals dedicated to competitions in archery, gymnastics, boxing, freestyle wrestling and even ball hockey. Images are located on monuments dating back to the 11th and 12th dynasties of the pharaohs (2100-1800 BC).
