Some 7,000 years ago Kalaha was played all over Asia and Africa. The name Kalaha derives from Kalahari, i.e. the Kalahari Desert in South Africa, where the natives played by scooping out pits in the sand. - The same pits and hollows are to be found carved on a vast black of rock in the ancient Syrian city of Aleppo; on the base of the columns of the Amon Temple at Karnak in Egypt ; in steps of the Theseum in Athens, and in rock ledges along caravan routes of the ancient world. Kalaha was played with pebbles or diamonds or even for stakes of female slaves. Today this is history, but Kalaha is still exciting with or without stakes. You have no chance of winning a slave girl, but you have every chance of being enslaved yourself!
