Istanbul december 2015 5556.jpg

Possible playing board. A notice states that in the Ancient Near East many plaques with many holes on their front were found. Taking account of Egyptian examples they are interpreted as playing boards for a game called “58 holes game” though there is no textual; support for this interpretation. This is an example in gypsum from the Old Hittite period, found in Boğazköy.
