    Gaming pieces have been uncovered in a 5,000 year-old burial site in Turkey. They could be the oldest gaming pieces found, ever.

    Small sculpted stones in the shapes of pigs, dogs, pyramids, dice, and so on were found in the site that was inhabited as early as 7,000 BC.

    Archaeologists are puzzled over the findings.

    Archaeologist, Haluk Sağlamtimur, of Ege University in İzmir, Turkey, told Discovery News:

    It’s a unique finding, a rather complete set of a chess like game. We are puzzling over its strategy.

    Grave site, Başur Höyük, where the gaming pieces were found
