I wonder what would be future historians' guess as to what those are/were, 2000+ years in a future where a "great loss of knowledge" happened.
We've worked out ancient gaming pieces, and sometimes been able to figure out rules for long dead games.
Usually context is necessary for archeology. Finding these next to a parking lot wouldn't be very helpful.
We've worked out everything about this ancient game however we are still figuring out how playing around cars played a role in the game
Wait until they find the travel Scrabble pieces!
I keep a Royal Game of Ur on my desk. Lol.
Something something "fertility ritual", most likely.
Wow, what way do YOU play chess?!
