Some Backgammon History:
The oldest backgammon in the world along with
60 pieces has been unearthed beneath the rubbles of the legendary
Burnt
City in
Sistan-Baluchistan province, southeastern
Iran
.
Iranian
archeologists working on the relics of the 5,000-year-old civilization argue
this backgammon is much older than the one already discovered in Mesopotamia
and their evidence is strong enough to claim the board game was first played
in the Burnt City and then transferred to other civilizations.
