Over in Chocolate Mountains we find Yeti who can’t really remember too much about the days when he used to juggle. He needs to read up on it so Google here he comes!  

‘The history of juggling has its beginning in the history of the name itself. The word “juggling” is derived from a Middle English word “jogelin” which means “to entertain by performing tricks” Juggling is a physical skill which involves throwing objects in the air, catching them and throwing them back up.

Juggling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment known to man. Finding out when exactly juggling became known and how it has made its way through different eras would be a long walk down history lane.

There are different forms of juggling (toss juggling, numbers juggling, devilsticks, acro juggling). Different jugglers engage in different tricks (simultaneously sometimes) to entertain their audience, and as a result, so many different juggling forms have emerged.

The history dates as far back the earliest civilization. Juggling was seen painted in hieroglyphics on an Ancient Egyptian tomb (The Beni Hassan tomb) dating as far back as 2000 BC (4000 years ago!). Since Ancient Egypt, most of other ancient civilizations have history of juggling; this includes Ancient China, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Aztec India and Native America. Ancient Irish literature also contains records of juggling. Between the hieroglyphics on the tomb and the next proof of juggling is about 1500 years. (This, however, does not mean there was no juggling in that time). 1500 years after juggling was drawn on the Egyptian tomb, evidence of juggling was shown in Greek art. The jugglers in Ancient Greek were mostly women. In 603 BC in Ancient China, a story is told in which a warrior named Xiong Yiliao stepped out during a battle and juggled nine balls in front of the enemy; this scared them so much that they turned around and fled.’ (Read more here).
