Archaeologists have discovered what they say is the world’s oldest known leather shoe.
The shoe, made of cowhide and tanned with oil, is about 5,500 years old, older than Stonehenge and the pyramids.
Most likely it was worn by a woman with size 7 feet.
The shoe was discovered by scientists excavating in a huge cave in Armenia. A doctoral student, Diana Zardaryan, noticed a small pit of weeds. Reaching down, she touched two sheep horns, then an upside-down broken bowl. Under that was what felt like “an ear of a cow,” she said. “But when I took it out, I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s a shoe.’ To find a shoe has always been my dream.”
Still puzzling her, however, is a box found nearby marked "Mr. Grog of Beverly Hills."
