Many historical figures claimed to have witnessed the creation of dice, such as Sophocles and Herodotus, but numerous archaeological findings show that dice were created much earlier in the history of humanity. Archaeological research states that dice were created and used by primitive peoples as divination tools. They were most likely made of bone, similar to the immediate forerunner of dice: knucklebones (also known as astragals).
