Discovered in the ruins of the city of Ur, where it had lain for 4.5 thousand years, it pre-dates the Bible by centuries. Yet when interpreted by a contemporary symbolist, it displays a knowledge of human life and history that is characteristically modern. Primarily a game board, with dice and markers, it is also a beautiful art object, or art \"form\"; a paradigm of human wisdom, based on the design of the human body; a mathematical and geometrical standard, with a symbolic \"magic number\" board; and a prophetic \"structure,\" that speaks to us about our historical and religious traditions. As a modern game board, it offers a unique series of movement and placement games, that can be played by two initiates in an hour or so, as a cult-experience among friends. Discover for your self the joys of learning from and playing with an Ur-board. And enjoy contemplating the vision of a future world as it is revealed by the UR-BOARD BOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lulu.com","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47578654212247,"sku":"9780557494903","price":1132.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780557494903.webp?v=1774906666","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-ur-board-book-9780557494903","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
