It’s world chess day
Learn about the ancient Egyptian game of Senet (A mind game that’s similar to chess); it was depicted on their tomb walls (such as in Queen Nefertari's), and it was also discovered among funerary objects (such as King Tutankhamun's) and played by royalty and commoners alike. Ancient Egyptians used ivory, wood, and faience for the game, which was occasionally embellished with gold.
