SOURCES & CITATIONS

Academic foundations for our Senet reconstruction

HOW WE VERIFY

Unlike Ur, Senet has no surviving rulebook. Our reconstruction relies on archaeological evidence, tomb paintings, and scholarly analysis. We prioritize peer-reviewed research and museum collections.

1

Archaeological Evidence

Physical boards, pieces, and casting sticks from excavated tombs.

2

Tomb Paintings

Depictions of Senet gameplay in Egyptian tomb art and papyri.

3

Scholarly Analysis

Academic reconstructions from Egyptologists and game historians.

4

Cross-Reference

Comparing multiple sources to establish consensus rules.
