2000-year old shoes found in a temple in Egypt

“Seven shoes were deposited in a jar in an Egyptian temple in Luxor, three pairs and a single one. Two pairs were originally worn by children and were only about 7 inches (18 centimeters) long. Using palm fiber string, the child shoes were tied together within the single shoe (it was larger and meant for an adult) and put in the jar. Another pair of shoes, more than 9 inches (24 cm) long that had been worn by a limping adult, was also inserted in the jar.” Read more here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/ancient-shoes-egypt-temple-health-problems_n_2772976.html More pictures here: http://www.livescience.com/27416-ancient-shoes-of-egypt.html
