44 More Squares Than Twenty Squares!
Jean from Howling Frog Books reminded me not too long ago about online video from the British Museum starting historian and Assyriologist, Irving Finkel.Finkle was mentioned on the blog once before and I’ve seen his name on a handful of British Museum videos overs the year. Among other things, Finkel studies the history of board games and, in this video, presents an interesting digression about the infamous Lewis Chessmen.
Oh – and how they’re related tangibly to some movie about a kid with glasses.
