Burnt City Dice

The burnt city dice are actually likely not as old as claimed. Will mark this as disputed for now, unless anyone has a reason not to.BobTheMad (talk) 22:59, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

I agree. That entire paragraph is a mess. I've removed all the dubious assertions without citations and added new references.--Rurik the Varangian (talk) 20:27, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
The Burnt city dice are indeed the oldest known dice found. The "debunking" citation provided is POV, not a scientific article. The Burnt City archaeological site is a confirmed site where the dice was found. It is a Bronze Age UNESCO world heritage site that has been excavated from 1967 through 2015 by both Iranian and EU-based (IsIAO) archaeologists.

Nonsense sentence

"Sometimes, dice are sold additionally with a die resembling the five Platonic solids, whose faces are regular polygons, or the pentagonal trapezohedron die, whose faces are ten kites, each with two different edge lengths, three different angles, and two different kinds of vertices." How can one die resemble five solids? --Khajidha (talk) 16:41, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
