Spring Tops Spin Through Ages In Global Play
Spring brings spinning tops as surely as warmer days. The pastime dates to ancient Egypt around 2000 B C and is seen in Troy pottery and Greek art. Modern tops are wound with string and tossed, while historically players used small whips and could wear out an arm. Multiple players could strike a single top.
