Ancient Egyptian Die c. 200BCE
The oldest surviving Dice in the world:
Carved from serpentinite, a greenish stone commonly used for jewellery and sculptures, this ancient Egyptian 20 sided Dice (d20) is engraved with Greek letters, including clearly visible symbols for eta, theta, and epsilon.
Today, this fascinating artifact is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, USA. It was acquired by Reverend Chauncey Murch during his missionary work in Egypt between 1883 and 1906.
