Old shoe- even older




An old leather shoe discovered in the Jotunheimen Mountains, and first estimated to be around 1000 years old, turns out to be more than 3,000 years old. The shoe was found in an old snowdrift in August last year.

This means that not only is it Norway's oldest shoe, but also the oldest piece of Norwegian "clothing" discovered so far.
