In early times, when there was a man so strong that he could kill ten or fifteen people in his lifetime, he was admired, he was looked up to, he became king. The others said, "You are strong. If a robber comes you will kill him. We put ourselves under your protection. We will go with you with our sticks." The early kings were wrestlers. Even as late as the time of Muhammed, the uncle of Ali, Hamza, was a wrestler. He wrestled with the strongest wrestlers, and wherever he conquered it was in that way.
