"No one knows the exact origins of the yo-yo, but some believe it was invented in China. No one really has any evidence of that; however, there is hard evidence that the ancient Greeks invented and played with yo-yos. In the National Museum of Athens resides an urn with a picture depicting a child dangling a yo-yo by the string. (Can't tell from the urn if the Greeks knew how to "walk the dog" or "rock the cradle.") In addition, the museum has an example of a terra cotta yo-yo-which is a stroke of marketing genius! A toy that is just made to be broken. Greek mothers must have been out buying new terra cotta yo-yos every day." Quoted excerp from Google.com www.google.com
