Where was Backgammon created?

The game of backgammon is commonly known as one of the oldest board games between two players. The game dates back over 5000 years, and many areas claim to have 'invented' backgammon. The earliest known record of a backgammon-like game were the Egyptian/Iraqi games of senet and the Royal Game of Ur, dating back to around 3000 BC. The game of 'nard' was popular in ancient Persia (now Iran) and has been found to be existent in a similar time. The Ancient Romans and Indians of 400 AD had games of backgammon, the Chinese, French and Spanish all had their own variants of the game too. But the first use of the word 'backgammon' was found in the Oxford English Dictionary of 1650, with rules at the time very similar to ours. Overall, we can safely say that backgammon originated somewhere in the Egyptian or Middle Eastern region 5000 years ago.
