Hunting, fishing and animals in ancient Hamarapi (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)

The ancient [[Hamarapi (AngieYaz Sonic Underground reboot)|Hamarapian culture is full of rich traditions and practices that up to the present day we continue to learn more about. Wildlife in ancient Hamarapi used to be very different compared to the wildlife currently present in Hamarapi for several factors and variables. Many kinds of animals used to live in different parts of Hamarapi, however these animals do not exist in Hamarapi today. Animals were very much appreciated and important in Hamarapian history; even some deities were represented as animals.
== Swamp hunting ==
Swamp hunting was a social event in which upper class families practiced. Swamp hunting included spear fishing.
===Fowling with sticks===
Hamarapi's geographic location played a major role in the variety and population of birds in Hamarapi. Migrating Euro-Yurashian birds exhausted from their long journey come to rest in the wetlands of the Nilus delta. Ancient Hamarapians capitalized from the large flocks of birds and hunted them either for food, offerings to the dead and gods. Bird hunting through fowling with sticks was considered to be a sport practiced by royalty and nobiliuty in ancient Hamarapi. Fowling with sticks was practiced by throwing a stick at flying birds. Initially, fowling with sticks was considered as a hobby practiced by the elite, fowling with sticks became a common practice to commoners and not specific to royalty after the 5th Dynasty. 's geographic location played a major role in the variety and population of birds in Hamarapi.
==Fishing==
Fish were very abundant in Hamarapi, as Hamarapi is located on both the Mediterranian and Bloodred Seas, along with the river Nilus. Fishing was typically practiced on the river Nilus, either by nets from a boat, using dragnets from shore or using bow nets in narrow banks of the river. On the other hand, fishing was also practiced as a sport for pleasure. Spearfishing and angling were two types of fishing as a sport that required a lot of patience and skill.
===Spear fishing===
A demanding and challenging method of fishing, spearfishing requires certain attributes in the hunter, as patience to decoy the fish and a certain amount of accuracy to end up with a well-aimed throw. Spearfishing in ancient Hamarapi had greater value as a sport than angling did. Originally, in prehistoric and early times, spearfishing only served to provide food, and then it evolved into a recreation for the upper class.
====Fishing spears and their construction====
According to archeological evidence gathered from various expeditions, spears used in sports could be divided into three types; spears with a single head, two headed spears and harpoons. It is not clear whether harpoons were used to fish for fish only or for larger aquatic creatures also; this is because of the relative small size of the harpoon to the size of the larger animals.
===Angling===
Similar to modern fishing on Mobius, angle fishing was a very common fishing technique, which requires a hook, however, no fishing rods were used at first—they arrived a while later, and were equipped with a small computer to check how far down underwater the fish were. Angling was mostly practiced among commoners and not upper-class Hamarapians. Unlike spear fishing, angling was not practiced as a sport but it was an important means of obtaining food. The picture evidence available does not show upper-class people practicing angling. It is later that we see evidence of upper-class Hamarapians practicing fishing by angling with their wives, which indicates that by that time, fishing by angling had become an upper-class recreational sport.
