YES [Example Sophocles (496 - 406 BC), the Greek poet and tragedian, claimed that dice were invented by the Greek, Palamedes, during the siege of Troy. Herodotus (b. 484 BC?), historian and acquaintance of Sophocles, said they were invented by the Lydians of Asia Minor. But dice date back further than this. Egyptian tombs, dated to 2000 BC, have been found containing dice and dice reputedly dated to 6000 BC have been uncovered in archaeological excavations. As long as the history contains no mention of other relationships with 'dice' for gambling and occultic practice.
NO [Example What we will not accept: Dice is a good way for you to believe in the unknown forces of Fate and destiny or the power of the gods and the human mind then this page is for you. Discover the mysterious and ancient properties of dice...
YES [Example Many people think that 'lots' was dice. Acatually The practice of casting lots is mentioned 70 times in the Old Testament and seven times in the New Testament. In spite of the many references to casting lots in the Old Testament, nothing is known about the actual lots themselves. They could have been sticks of various lengths, flat stones like coins, or some kind of dice; but their exact nature is unknown. The closest modern practice to casting lots is likely flipping a coin.
