The oldest known domino set was found in Tutankhamun’s tomb, among the ruins of Thebes. Tutankhamun was king of ancient Egypt in the 18th dynasty, 1355 BC. According to historians, a Chinese set, with 32 pieces, existed in the year 1120 AD. http://www.worlddomino.com/history.htm Although domino tiles are clearly of Chinese inheritance, there is a debate over whether the European tile set came from China to Europe in the fourteenth century or was invented independently. http://www.pagat.com/tile/wdom/history.html Jan 13 09, 9:18 PM
