The Oldest Working Astronomical Clock Is In Prague
The Prague Astronomical Clock is among the oldest fully functional astronomical clocks in the world! This means that it can tell the time and display more information about the moon, sun, planets, and even zodiac constellations. It is also called the Orloj and had to be made with numerous layers to add the time and locations of the astronomical bodies. Aside from showing the time, the main face of the clock also features glyphs showing ancient Czech time and Roman numerals showing 24-hour time. The face comes in different shades of blue and red to represent the different parts of the day. At the center of the dial, you will find the Earth. How gorgeous is that?

Preserved Boot Found In The Altai Mountains
The preserved woman’s boot in the photo was made 2,300 years ago. It has remained intact so well thanks to the freezing temperatures at the Altai Mountains. It has been preserved so well that it could pass for something on display at a bohemian store. The boot has been traced to 300 BCE! It was made using leather and shows different decorations made with different textiles such as gold foil, pewter, glass beads, and pyrite crystals. It is a fascinating discovery that shows us how stylish people always were no matter the period. We are sure that some of you would willingly wear this!
