Mesopotamia, corresponding to present-day Iraq and situated between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was home to advanced civilizations such as the Assyrians and Babylonians, whose cultural prominence spanned from approximately 4000 BCE to 600 BCE (Kornexl, 2010/2011: 42–47). Archaeological evidence—including reliefs, miniature sculptures, and written records—indicates the integration of games and physical activities into daily and ceremonial life. Like other ancient societies, the peoples of Mesopotamia engaged in various forms of sport, games, and entertainment during their leisure time. Ancient Mesopotamian games often resemble the early precursors of modern sports. These activities were commonly held during religious festivals and public holidays, frequently within the precincts of temples.
