THE COMB

Ever thought about where that comb came from? Egyptians were among the earliest, if not the earliest, to develop combs circa 5500 BCE.

Would you believe the above image is a Mirror?

In the Bronze Age, most cultures were using mirrors made from polished discs of bronze, copper, silver, or other metals. The people of Kerma in Nubia were skilled in the manufacturing of mirrors. Remains of their bronze kilns have been found within the temple of Kerma. In China, bronze mirrors were manufactured from around 2000 BC, some of the earliest bronze and copper examples being produced by the Qijia culture. Such metal mirrors remained the norm through to Greco-Roman Antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages in Europe. During the Roman Empire, silver mirrors were in wide use by servants.
