Arqueologia dos jogos de tabuleiro.

Esses dias o @gus_dorea me convidou para contribuir com 2 cents na @BanklessBR

👇Este exemplar que provém de Veneza e está exposto no Museu Arqueológico da Espanha é do século XV, mas o jogo de tabuleiro, em sua origem, remonta o ano 3000 a.C

On 9 October 1652 Maria Copintsche, daughter of the Pallmaister Valentin Copintsche died aged 1 year. It seems that a Pallmaister organizes balls, but when in 1654 his wife Maria died, Valentin Copintschnig was referred to as "Pallnschlager". He was a tennis coach at the Ballhaus

Also, so stellt man sich als Mannschaftskapitän den Tag vor: alle Spieler vollzählig und pünktlich zum Auswärtsspiel vor Ort in Bad Harzburg und am Ende ein souveräner Sieg mit der 2. Mannschaft des ESV Göttingen gegen die Topspieler des SK Bad Harzburg 1. Aber nun von Anfang an:

Music and chess trivia fact:

Johann Nepomuk Maelzel (Germany, 1772-1832) patented the mechanical metronome and purchased "The Turk", von Kampelen's chess semi-automaton, which he brought to Paris.

A #Roman bone die found at #Trimontium. The die is very similar to a modern example. The points are marked by incised circles with holes in the centres and someone last threw it sometime between AD80-100. This is part of @NtlMuseumsScot collection.

Hnefatafl or tafl was an ancient Viking board game that became very popular in medieval Scandinavia. The board game was played by the Vikings as early as 400 A.D. Hnefatafl was a war strategy game.

We were all pretty pleased with our discovery day. We also learnt to play Hnefatafl- a Viking game which is a little like chess.
