Interesting Puppet Facts

Did you know that puppetry, which takes many forms, has been used in just about all human societies throughout the world and is thought to date back to 30,000 BC? I'm almost positive you wouldn't have found a Baby Einstein Puppet back then but if they have one in a museum somewhere it would in interesting to take a gene sample and compare it to a Baby Einstein Puppet! But sadly we will have to wait for that one for the puppets. Presently we're only up to human genes and have a long way to go to get to puppet extraction!
Did you know that Plato's Iliad and the Odyssey were performed using puppets? Most think European puppetry got its start around the 5th Century in Greece. Greek puppet plays were put on for the "common folks" in those days. (It was all done live...no dvds back then).
Did you know the early Christian church put on plays using puppets dealing with morality? In fact, the word "marionette" is derived from small figurines of the Virgin Mary meaning Mary doll.
