The world’s oldest pants are a 3,000-year-old engineering marvel
Super fun read from Ars Technica that details the impressive level of skill and engineering that went into designing the world’s oldest pants.
With the help of an expert weaver, archaeologists have unraveled the design secrets behind the world’s oldest pants. The 3,000-year-old wool trousers belonged to a man buried between 1000 and 1200 BCE in Western China. To make them, ancient weavers combined four different techniques to create a garment specially engineered for fighting on horseback, with flexibility in some places and sturdiness in others.
