@facebook-bawootaigho I found this transcript that supposes that Sumerians as well as later Mesopotamians elites passed time playing the Game of Twenty Squares that was only played as a ritual practice of making contact with the world of spirit. So, it seems that albeit played leisurely, it was some form of gambling although they never placed bets on the outcomes. But in other civilizations like ancient Egypt, gambling was popular and games like Hounds, Jackals, and Senets were played,
@adtya we have come a long long way! Its fascinating how fast we have accelerated from our cave days. What changed though? We've gained so much knowledge from using bone dice to using AI to predict outcomes. That's an insane trajectory.
@arniebaes We have progressed so fast. Not just modern casinos but also the use of AI to predict outcomes. That's an impressive track record.
@facebook-alicemawia Good info Alice. Yeah, necessity made them do it. It has made humans move mountains, throughout history.
Interesting. Keep such posts coming Alice. I love to read these. I think you have got some degree Or diploma in world history. ❤
@khalidbedouin agreed 100%. Necessity is the mother of invention. I also don't think that the mind can handle boredom. It has to continuously find was to entertain itself be it externally or internally.
@facebook-yemburzalkhan haha. Thank you. No degree or diploma in history but I enjoy reading about these topics and researching them. The more I learn the more I realize I don't know nothing and need to learn more. 🤣
@facebook-alicemawia That's what happens to me also, I guess the field of history is so vast that one can't ever get enough of it. It always feels that there's still a plethora of facts to explore.
Thanks for this info Alice! I've been learning a lot about history on this forum lately and I've enjoyed it so much haha
I find it very interesting that France and Italy is usually the ones where casino games or casinos originate in general. Now I know why it's such a big thing in those countries and it's crazy it dates back way way older than we thought.
Ohh I didn't know about that Alice; that's definitely very interesting to learn. Didn't realize gambling went that far back. Excited to learn more. I've really been appreciating the informative posts here about history lately
