ORIGIN
No doubt the real origin of Tarot is unknown. Experts in the field assure that it was invented by the ancient Egyptians as the Book of Life and introduced in Western culture by gypsies and Templars.

Archaeological findings in the Valley of the Dead, show that the mythical prince and priest Hermes (Thoth, later deified) wrote a 78 gold plate- book which he called the Book of Thoth detailing the secrets of man's life and the knowledge of mankind. These symbols, in turn, were placed in the columns located at the feet of the Sphynx of Giza. Hermetic tradition located one-hundred Tarot cards along the walls of a corridor leading to an Egyptian initiation temple. Of such cards only seventy-three are known; the rest, form the Tables of Aeth or esoteric Tarot, still unknown.

Some researchers attributed the creation of Tarot carcs to wisemen of the Library of Alexandria. Others assure that because of the destruction of the library a mystical language was created which gave origin to the present Tarot symbolism.
