TRUTH !!
in 1767, John Spilbury, a teacher in England and formerly the apprentice to the royal geographer, made the first jigsaw puzzle. He glued a map of England and Wales to a board and used a fine saw to cut along the borders in hopes of creating a tool to teach his students geography. For the next twenty years, only geographical jigsaw puzzles were made. Interlocking pieces did not come along until the invention of power tools, more than a century later.
