That is amazing, truly. Wonder what it was used for? Games? Decided whether to behead or not? Maybe, just maybe it was used to determine battle strategies? Attack with spearmen....no d20 say the chariots go first!!

What I find even more astounding the the thought of constructing such an artifact. The math to design one, then carving and grinding necessary. I wonder if the were able to determine if it is even a uniform density or asymmetric (I.e., weighted). really cool!

Well considering these guys built the pyramids, I bet a d20 was no big deal. I wonder if its some artisan's assistant that has to make these to prove his worth.
