Ancient People Played Lots of Games

Cool!

Makes sense to me. Ancient time, you've got your work done...no TV, no movies, no internet...what else are you going to do? People gotta be occupied.

I've been saying this for years.  There are so many ancient games that we have record of even now... it's really cool to go back and find some, and even cooler to find the ones that nobody really knows what they might have been.  It makes me giddy with the possibilities.

haha for some reason "ancient porn music" really made me chuckle.

I tried to imagine what it would sound like and I imagined music made by shaking boxes with rocks in them.
