Drawings on tombs at Beni Hassan in Menia Governorate show players holding bats made of long palm-tree branches, with a bent end similar to that of the hockey bat. The hockey ball was made of compressed papyrus fibers covered with two pieces of leather in the shape of a semicircle. The ball was dyed in two or more colors."<br /><br />HEY GUYS...<br />IT'S ABOUT TO GET REAL COOL IN HERE; <span style="font-weight: bold;">LITERALLY!</span><br />BRRR LOL!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">AS THEY SAY IN EGYPT, "CHECK YA" ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ICE!</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8650739441995858017-4727473879675738758?l=egypthockey.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Red Colossus.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12859695293734398238noreply@blogger.com0
