Who did the splits first?

I was just curious. How far do the splits go back? Who did them first?

I'm thinking acrobats & dancers & yogis have done the splits for thousands of years.

But maybe you mean "the way Prince does them," bouncing back up into standing position?

This routine from 'Stormy Weather' had me mesmerized as a kid.

The splits go back a long time before Prince was born, but there weren't many who could do them like him! biggrin
