Old Persian Cuneiform d36 Polyhedral Die

𐏍𐏐𐎡𐎠𐎲𐏐𐎾𐎲𐏐𐎿𐎫 A unique non-Isohedral die with every character of the Old Persian Cuneiform alphabet on its faces. Note that this die is based on pyritohedral 36-hedron, which has two types of faces, however the die is still almost fair because the areas of the faces were balanced in such a way that they have practically the same probability of being landed on. *Symbols where a consonant is followed by "A" can also be read as just those consonants without any vowel

There is no known scholarly source that substantiates the claims in the text about the so-called “36-sided Old Persian cuneiform die.” The entire passage appears to be a modern, imaginative construct that merges historical facts (the 36 signs of Old Persian script) with mathematical polyhedron forms and the idea of “nearly fair dice.” There is no archaeological evidence for the existence of such a die.
