History of Dice

Introduction
This project was the most difficult to tackle because of the ubiquity of dice throughout all cultures and all of history. Making a timeline of dice was like making a timeline of the world. So I tried to show dice in vastly different cultures from different and similar periods of time. I also demonstrated the beginning of dice and its evolution. This project reminded me of the article on Native American baskets. In that article, the baskets told stories about their community, so the objects were about something greater than themselves. I made my timeline with this idea in mind. I used the story of dice to tell the story of humanity and its relationship to the world. I also wanted to show uncommon knowledge about dice. Everyone knows that people gamble and play games with dice, but few people know that they are also used in fortune and future telling. This side of dice (no pun intended) deserves to be known, so I used my projects to tell that story.
