Archaeologists Found A Thracian Carriage With Two Horses Buried Upright

It is difficult to see, but this is how they did things in ancient Bulgaria! Archaeologists found a whole carriage attached to the skeletons of two entire horses in a northeastern Bulgarian village called Svestari. The carriage came with 4 wheels, seats, and boot. There is reason to believe that they were owned by a Thracian noble. The horses must have been led through some narrow hole and had to be put out of their misery. This discovery is truly one of its kind. After all, it sounds highly unlikely that they will find anything better preserved than this incredible finding.

An Ottoman Supply Train Of The Hejaz Railway In The Desert There were a lot of incredible feats of bravery that happened during the Great War. One of the most famous ones was that of T.E. Lawrence, better known as Lawrence of Arabia. He had been posted in the Middle East in 1917 when he started to topple the trains serving the Ottoman supply chain with a crew of Arabs. When the war came to a close, they had destroyed so much railroad and trains that they could no longer be used. Instead of moving the vacated trains, the Turkish people just abandoned them there.

King Tutankhamun Wore Stylish And Royal Sandals

King Tutankhamun Wore Stylish And Royal Sandals When people talk about ancient Egypt, the first things that come to mind would probably be mummies and pyramids. While they were important aspects of the culture, there is more to that period than that. The sandals worn by King Tut show that Ancient Egyptians were a lot like us than we thought. They did not only wear footwear similar to what we use, but they were also very interested in fashion. Ancient footwear expert André Veldmeije explained, “When footwear is mentioned in general books if at all, it is usually noted that sandals were flimsy and most people were barefoot all the time. Moreover, they say there were only a few types of sandals. This is a misconception, probably based on artistic depictions alone. The variety of footwear is much greater than imagery suggests and even includes shoes that are never depicted; we only know them from the archaeological record.” King Tutankhamun Wore Stylish And Royal Sandals
