Sebuah patung perunggu, (mungkin mirip vas) has been found at Khafaji in Iraq that shows two figures in a wrestling hold that dates to around 2600 BCE.

The Epic of Gilgamesh gives one of the first historical records of sport with Gilgamesh engaging in a form of belt wrestling with Enkidu. The cuneiform tablets recording the tale date to around 2000 BCE; however, the historical Gilgamesh is supposed to have lived around 2800 to 2600 BCE. The Sumerian king Shulgi also boasts of his prowess in sport in the Self-praise of Shulgi A, B, and C.
