Holy Roman Emperor Maximillian I Wore Armored Gloves Until His Death
These gauntlets were worn by Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. They are a type of glove donned by knights and soldiers from different parts of the world during the Middle Ages. The metal gloves kept their forearms and hands safe, which was important as they are vulnerable in melee combat. There are different types of gauntlets, but these might be the most beautiful ones we have ever seen. These “war gloves” were made of leather, iron, or chain mail. This specific pair had been reportedly used by Maximillian I until he died in 1519. Did he wear them all the time or ever “threw down the gauntlet”? We do not know the answer to that one just yet.

The First Sunglasses Were Made By The Inuits
Many folks out there consider the sun to be the worst enemy of their eyesight, and for good reason. The first ones to use sunglasses had been the Inuits, who trudged through the snow over 4,000 years ago. The snow goggles prevented ultraviolet light from damaging their eyes and kept them from getting snow blindness. They invented the hand-carved goggles and left tiny slits so that they could still see through them. The thing that impressed modern researchers was that they did not fog over despite the polar conditions. The only drawback would be the fact that they significantly limited the vision of the wearer.
