First shoes

Have you ever thought about the earliest human shoes is like? To recourse to this problem, we must be traced back to tens of thousands of years ago. In the far south coast of Africa, the Indian Ocean not far from the river mouth of Classics, with many clouds in the cave, learned that there had been homosapienssapiens (the Latin word means "double Homo sapiens"), the first community. In order to adapt to harsh environment, early humans invented clothing - mostly through the preserved animal skins. In order to protect the soles of the feet, they came up with the easiest, quickest way, is what grabbed the hand of any (flat bark, large leaves, and perhaps bundles of grass), rattan or tough long bale in the foot. Early "shoes" might not be very beautiful, but very practical.

After long-term experiments, human invented the "sandals." This is the artificial production of one of the oldest shoes, which are basically two forms: one based on palm, papyrus or grass braiding made with plant fiber rings, set in the toes. From North America, to Kelamasi Indians, the early history of rock home were there, that shoes can be found everywhere. Early second form of sandals is processed leather from cutting a piece along the side of the above drill, then put on a belt, belt tension can be the same as the rope, pull the shoes in place. In Peru Lupaqiaka Mark Andes mountains and deep valleys, the mummy in a tomb unearthed the oldest of the sandals. It is estimated that only sandals nearly thousand years of history, the production of materials used are llama skin.

How could the same sandals so away in a place apart to find it? Some anthropologists believe that as global climate change, mass migration of primitive people settled in every corner of earth, they encounter along the way people from there copied the way of making shoes. According to available raw materials, as well as experience with the seasons and weather conditions, learn about the design elsewhere has been improved. Many of the earliest sandals were made of plant material used, subject to wind and rain damage to the invasion soon, then we can find sandals where is it a clue? Interestingly, one of the oldest picture of the sandals is also the earliest known example of Egyptian writing. Five thousand years of history this piece of carved stone is Hierakonpolis this "Eagle City" found in the temple. Stone side of the king is punished a hapless enemies kneel down on one side and the king is not to march barefoot across the 10 head of the body. But no matter where the king went, there is a dwarf-like servant following him, holding his hand a pair of fancy sandals king. This pair of sandals may represent the power of the king namo.

Over the next 1500 years, the Egyptians developed their special hieroglyphics. BC 1334, nine years old when, on the Egyptian king Tutankhamen, in the relevant records had appeared in the "sandals" in hieroglyphs, shaped like an oval with two laces. Nine years later, King Tutankhamun's death, his body was made into a mummy, funerary objects in the middle, there have been three thousand years ago exquisite sandals. His subjects believe that these shoes will help the King to continue his journey to the afterlife. The pointed tip of which a pair of sandals with gold-making; made another pair of Zeyi papyrus, a leather ankle straps, decorated with a rich imagination of the Nile landscape design.
