[History]
In Ancient Greece already, Plato, a famous philosopher, declared that a future architect had to play with various construction games as soon as he could walk so that he would be more potent once adult. This indicates us that such toys already existed at the time. To choose a set of blocks therefore is choosing the oldest construction game of the world and, we shall not hide it, if the ones playing with them usually are kids, adults too can fall back in childhood sometimes!
