Tarot cards have a long tradition, long before Tarot was offered online, and according to legend may have originated in ancient Egypt. This legend says that, faced with the impending destruction of the empire, he was looking for a way to preserve knowledge that was thousands of years old. After surviving for a long time, it was finally decided to immortalize the ancient knowledge in the form of drawings on playing cards, as it was assumed that games and vices would survive against all odds. Playing cards have been known in Europe at least since the end of the 14th century. The cards of today's Tarot probably developed from 52 playing cards that spread from the Islamic world to Europe and which correspond to today's minor arcana.
