Does anyone know who created playing cards?

Playing cards emerged in the 9th century in China. Ancient Chinese "money cards" have four "suits": coins (or cash), strings of coins (which may have been misinterpreted as sticks from crude drawings), myriads of strings, and tens of myriads. An Indian origin for playing cards has been suggested by the resemblance of symbols on some early European decks (traditional Sicilian cards, for example) to the ring, sword, cup, and baton classically depicted in the four hands of Indian statues. It is likely that the precursor of modern cards arrived in Europe from the Mamelukes of Egypt in the late 1300s, by which time they had already assumed a form very close to that in use today.

Reply:Some say the ancient Egyptians invented cards and many sources take them back to Italy or Germany. Many changes have taken place over the last 500 years to beccome the decks we are familar with. Even in the last 100 years one of the big changes are the numbers in the corners. In the old west only the pips were on the faces.
