Is there a website or an online museum which tracked the originals of traditional #games and how it spread across different nations?

There are traditional games in #Korea and the #Philippines which are (very) similar, yet, there was no known contact between the two nations at the time these traditional games were estimated to have been “developed”.

That only leaves us with two possibilities:
1. The games did develop independently. Which someone gives us the idea that humans think similarly regardless of place and time.

2. Another foreign contact brought the games.

Here are some examples:
Korea: Red Light, Green Light.
Philippines: Stop, Go.

Philippines: Sipa (predates Spanish rule)
Korea: I don't remember what it's called, but I first saw it in a #RunningMan episode.

Korea: #SquidGame
Philippines: #Patintero

Marbles game
Philippines: Jolen, Holen, or just marbles.
Korea: can't remember what it's called.

Korea: Gonggi
Philippines: Jackstone

President Macron said France had switched to a war economy to increase weapons production and increase supplies to Ukraine

He said he intended to visit Ukraine in February and announced new deliveries to Kiev of about 40 Scalp missiles and “several hundred bombs”.

Macron said France was "in the process of finalizing a security agreement" similar to the one concluded by Kiev and London.

I've read standalone essays David wrote years ago exploring the philosophical underbelly of AI development, and I'm confident this timely book will be just as insightful.

A strange thing about getting older has been that the past seems to get closer rather than further away. When I was a kid the 1920s seemed like the olden days, but now they seem pretty recent.
