The history of puppets and marionettes is so old that it is almost impossible to date. It is known that puppets were made in ancient Egypt, such as that of a figure found in honor of the goddess Isis attached to strings, and probably one of the first of this type. But even much older origins are mentioned, such as the fact that the men of Prehistory were already aware of the possibility of casting shadows in caves with the mere objective of seeking entertainment. Whatever their origin, the truth is that puppets have always had a captivating power in the public, certainly overshadowed today by the number of leisure options and different types of toys aimed at children.
