The earliest known record of a carousel device is a Byzantine etching from 500 AD which portrays riders swinging in baskets tied to a center pole.
The first fairground merry-go-round is referred to in records of an event in Philippolis, Turkey in 1620.
In the early nineteenth century some advertisements claimed that riding the carousel was good for the circulation of blood.
