Origin and History of Mancala
Evidence of Mancala games have been found by archaeologists in Aksumite Ethiopia in Matara (now in Eritrea) and Yeha (in Ethiopia), dating back to between CE 500 and 700. The word mancala is derived from the Arabic word naqala, which means "to move." In North Africa and the Mideast, the word mancala refers to a class of game rather than any particular game.
You will see references to the game going back thousands of years. It is a simple enough setup to be played on an earthen surface, with seeds and holes, but the solid archaeological evidence doesn't exist documenting earlier origin.
There are many versions played by nations and peoples throughout Africa, with different names, such as Wari, Warri, Awari, Oware, and Wouri. The game is played in the Baltic areas of Europe but didn't spread through Europe. It traveled with Arab culture and trading to India, Malaysia, Indonesia, and China.
Head over to Rain's to see what all the other game players are doing today.

This was on a greeting cards I made with beadwork. We are talking 1990's |

I call this my crazy eye bird. |

One of my very early paintings. |
This is the "Eye of the Raven"
|
Negative space art |
|
Almost all of these paintings have been sold especially the abstract birds. |
Some of these I have forgotten about. |
This is a piece of Raven art. She used to sit in my front window. |
Last but not least one of my beaded raven patterns that hangs on my art room door. |
