They appear to have no single origin and instead appear to have been used by many cultures throughout the world.

Mesopotamian and Gupta Empire Indian art often shows people playing a similarly shaped instrument.

Ovid describes shepherds using pan flutes, and Roman digs in France have discovered them. There are even Viking pan flutes dated to the 10th century.
