Legend of the origin of tarot cards

1, ancient Egyptian theory

/kloc-in the 8th century, the French mystic Court de Geblin proposed that the word Tarot was taken from the Egyptian characters tar (Tao) and ro (King), meaning "King". So "Tarot" itself refers to his correct determination as a king, which is also the origin of this divination method.

It turns out that "Tarot cards" are not divination in the form of cards, but originated from "Strange Books" in ancient Egypt. Toute is the Egyptian moon god, as well as the god of culture and education. The Book of Tut is a mysterious book dedicated to conveying God's will, and the pharaohs made various decisions according to it. When the Egyptian dynasty died, in order to prevent foreigners from getting the book, they drew it as a card and gave it to the gods.

Later, it was introduced to Europe by Alexander, and the modern tarot cards were formed in the Middle Ages. However, in the same century 1799, the discovery of Rosestone made Egyptian hieroglyphs deciphered, and then it overthrew the theory of "king".

2. Italian theory

During this period, the Vatican banned tarot cards and characterized them as the devil's Atlas and pagan objects. In addition, the earliest known tarot cards appeared in Italy at the end of14th century15th century.
