Perhaps not everyone knows that polo originated in Tibet - I still don't.

and I think that any number of people would find calling Tibet China rather offensive.

well Jo - you didn't leave me any room to move this time -
except to add that one of the earliest written references to polo was a letter from Darius of Persia to Alexander the Great - with it were a polo stick and a ball - suggesting that if he practiced more he might spend less time waging war. To which Alexander is reputed to have replied "I am the stick and the world is my ball".

thanks dear Jo , I learned a lot from your more detailed information. I just read some articals about the history of polo. Maybe there are several records about the origination of the polo, no matter where polo originated from, now we get together here to talk and discuss the polo matter, so I would like to know the different polo facts from all of you. thanks again
