Why might not wrestling be considered among the oldest sports and recorded history?

Answer 1

While Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of physical competition, it may not be prominently featured in recorded history due to the lack of written documentation in ancient societies. Many early records focused on more organized sports or events that were part of larger cultural rituals. Additionally, the informal nature of wrestling, often practiced in various forms across different cultures, might not have been considered a formal sport worthy of documentation. Consequently, its rich history may be overshadowed by sports with clearer records.
