S1 E3 - The First Games: How Africa Invented Sport 5e282p

Before stadiums and scoreboards, before medals and million-dollar contracts, there was only dust, muscle, and meaning. In this episode of Purpose, we return to the forgotten fields of ancient Africa—where sport was born not for profit, but for pride, preparation, and personal growth. Journey through the tombs of Egypt and the valleys of Nubia to discover the world’s earliest athletes: wrestlers, stick fighters, runners, kings. Learn how Pharaohs like Senusret III used sport not just to train warriors—but to shape character, discipline, and unity. This isn’t just a history of games. It’s a story about why we move, why we strive, and what it really means to win. 651l47
