Burying loved ones with basic necessities like grains, ceramic pots, and clothing, to ensure their comfort in the afterlife, was a fairly common tradition in ancient cultures. However, the families of some lucky individuals went a step further by including a board game for entertainment. Morten Ramstad, a researcher at the University of Bergen, Norway, and his team stumbled upon one of the rare artifacts — found only in a handful of graves before — while excavating the remains of an Early Iron Age (400-300 BC) burial mound in Western Norway.

              This is a very interesting story I think it's so cool because they lived long ago and they actually found things that belonged to them I love to play board games so this was fun to listen to. In the story it said they lived more than 2 thousand years ago. And I like how they put it in museums for other people to see these are so old I wish I could go to the museum to see those accent artifacts. I'm a science person so this was one of the best stories I've ever heard!!!!

                      Something I learned was that Prehistoric people did game nights too which is really cool. I think it now a traditional thing to do.
