Time for puzzles!!
Jay’s brief history: 2300 BC: labyrinth drawings were popular around the world, particularly in Ancient Greece and Egypt. These kinds of images hold religious and spiritual significance in ancient cultures. This has nothing to do with the movie labyrinth with David Bowie.
2250BC: The first tactile puzzle came some 500 years after the first labyrinth drawings, dating back to a whopping 2550-2250 BC. Appearing initially in the Indus Valley and Mohenjo-Daro, one of the first known human civilizations – there appeared dexterity puzzle of sorts, similar to the famous “Pigs in the Clover” puzzle. This seems the first physical manifestation of the labyrinths popular in Ancient Greece and Egypt. They had indoor plumbing and puzzles, so count me in.
