The origin of the game Narda
Backgammon is an ancient oriental game, for millennia, using popularity. Regarding its origin, there are many legends, but no source gives an exhaustive answer to this question. According to one of the versions, the word "backgammon" may occur from the Indian "NARD" - the plant from which the incense was made and fragrant oils. The name of the inventor and the birthplace of the game backgammon is hidden from us in the depths of centuries. Was the Egyptian, Persian, Greek, or can Indian be? No one knows. We only know that people play this game for more than 5,000 years, which is proven by archaeological studies. Thus, the most ancient of the backgammon boards was found in Malaya Asia (in Shahri-dry) and dates back to about 3000 years BC. Analogue of this game was found in the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamon (XV BC). Of course, the ancient boards for the game in the backgammon had a completely different appearance, differing from modern. The board and checkers were usually made of stone or wood, and the bones were cut out of stone, bones or squeezed out of clay. Each board consisted of 12 cells, which were placed in boxes of 6, the boxes, in turn, combined two. One of these backgammon games was found and stored in the city of Ur, the former capital of Mesopotamia. It is in this ancient state (modern Iraq, Iran and part of Syria) the day of the backgammon received the name "Taht Nard" or "Taht", which in the literary translation means "battle on a wooden board".
One of the legends about the origin of the NARDA states that once the Hindus, wanting to check the wisdom and the mind of the Persians, sent them a set of chess, believing that they would not guess how to play this wise game. However, the Persian Wisdom of Bubyurkmehr (Meturgamihra), Advisor to the Persian Tsar Josrova I Anushirvana (509-579 AD), not only easily coped with this task, but also suggested his, which Hindus could not solve 12 years. The Bubyurkmehr came up with and sent his opponents a new game - backgammon. The sage so explained the king the essence of the new game: "From the rulers of this millennium, Ardashire was the most active and wise, and I will name this game named Ardashir - Nardi (NEV-Ardashire). I like a board for the backgammon, I am like a Spandarmad land. Thirty-stones (Mukhrag) I am like throwing thirty days: Fifteen white I am like a day, and fifteen black I am like a night. A couple of playing bones (Gardanag) I like to rotate the stars and the rotation of the sky. One (ek) on the bone like the same ormad, for he created all the good. Two (before) like the sky and the earth. Three (SE) like it (spheres) blessing, blessing, blessings, in other words, (spheres) of thinking, speech and actions. Four (chahar) like the four elements, of which a person is complicated, and the four sides of the light: east, west, south and north. Five (Panj) like five luminous objects: the sun, the moon, the star, the fire and shine, going from the sky. Six (Shash) like six days of Gahanbar, in which the creation was made. The arrangement of stones on the back of the backgammon, I like you how the Lord Ormazd gave (every) creation to the earthly world. Rotation and return of stones with the help of bones like it as a person in the earthly world is constantly connected with heavenly forces (Manogan), it moves and moves under the influence of seven (planets) and twelve (zodiac constellations). If possible, they beat each other and displace like the people in the earthly world bend each other. And when, with the help of bones, all (stones) are displaced, it reminds of people who all somehow leave this earthly world. When (stones) are renewed again, it reminds people who come to life during the resurrection from the dead. "
In ancient Persia, this game had symbolic and mystical significance. Persian astrologers with the help of the Days predicted fate of Vladyk. The field for the game they considered the sky, and the movement of chips in a circle indicated the movement of the stars. In ancient times, symbolic nature was to a certain extent was inherent in almost all games. Games from which backgammon had occurred, had similar boards. On this board, everything was multiple of six and dealt with the time count. Twelve points on each side of the board corresponded to 12 months, the division of the board for 4 parts - the time of the year, 24 points - 24 hours in days, 30 checkers - the number of lunar and selfless nights in the month, and their movement in a circle portrayed the movement of the stars in the sky. The amount of points on opposite sides of the bone equal to 7 - corresponded to the number of the planets known then, from which, as it was then thought, was all bad and good.

Distribution of backgammon games in Europe
The spread of the game in backgammon in Western Europe is associated with the return of the crusaders from the crusades of the 12th century. Thanks to them, their backs are penetrated into most Eastern European countries. In medieval France, the Day of Nardi was called "TRIC TRAC" (option of the game, in which people from the highest class played). This name, apparently, happened from the sound of the strike of bones about the wooden board. In medieval Russia, they played backgammones (the similar name is found in Turkey: "Tavla"), although in many sources indicate that these were checkers. Among the European names of the game, backgammon most often meet such as: "Table" or "Royal Table" (Table, Royal Table), "Tabula" in the Romans, "О¬О¬ОІО»О№" at the Greeks, "Tavola Reale" from the Italians, "Tablas Reales" The Spaniards and Tables have the British. Another name of the game Nard, "Jacket", got spread in the XIX century in England and in France (the game was very popular in the French cafe). All these games differed from a modern game in short backgammon, because there were no "Cuba's Rules", which was added later.

The English name of the Pearrad game occurred from the words "Back" and "Game". This is due to the fact that the checker of your opponent, being beaten, returns back. Another version links the name "Backgammon" with the Gallic words "Baec" (small) and "Gammum" (Battle), whose value is echoing with the Persian name of the game "TAK NARD".
