One would say that it is a modern game, resulting sometimes in the past years. And rightly so - to us in the form of an enlarged got not so long ago. However diabola roots date back to four millennia back to China.
Historians believe that this game was invented right here. I did not call but as today. The original name "Kouen-gen", areca nut machine which is known from the year 206 BC, indicates a high pitched sound that instrument, when made of bamboo, published. Even today in China produce similar diabolo - Bamboo render the squeaky sound performance.
On the European continent the diabolo received thanks to the French and English missionaries who brought it from China, and named it the neologism "diaballo" which is a word of Greek terms "dia" (across) and "ballo" (throw). As soon as diabolo presented to the public, became popular competing sports game called 'Jeu de Paume' probable predecessor of tennis.
Playing with diabolo has become fashionable, tried her for example, in the court of Napoleon I. In 1906 Gustave introduced Phillipart, French inventor, diabolo made from two metal cups with rubber edges from old tires. That was the beginning of modern look diabola.
Wow, this is incredibly interesting ... I got the diabolo just now, but I can give my heart ... xD I only know some basic throws, but I'm going to improve in it. It's an amazing thing to praise the Chinese! ^^;
