Wrestling’s roots

 Artist creations from around 3000 BCE in Babylonia. The art piece was an image depicting the sport of wrestling being carried out in Babylonia. This could be the place where wrestling was created. Wrestling around this time and era was like a life or death sport where the competitors sometimes fought to the death to become the winner in the match. Whoever won the match of the game would proceed on to the next competitor to win the tournament and so on. The winner would be named the strongest of all the competitors. In some cases the loser would be sacrificed.

     The fact that the wrestling drawings have been found out in caves may have the evidence it needs to be proven that it is the worlds oldest running sport. Without these drawings there are no other evidence out there to date wrestling back as far back as 3000 BCE. And the drawings are a huge reliable legit piece of evidence to answer how old the sport of wrestling may be. And the sport continues to be popular to this day. The sport of wrestling is widely known to people across the world which is why the sport is still so popular after all the years. It is played in grade schools across the world and even in college and professional wrestling.
