The oldest known pieces of sewn clothing have been discovered in a cave in Oregon, potentially rewriting all of human history.
Researchers from the US uncovered pieces of animal hide stitched together from the end of the last Ice Age, approximately 12,000 years ago.
That would mean that humans in North America had advanced skills, specifically for working with plants, animals, and wood, thousands of years before the Great Pyramid of Egypt was constructed.
The discoveries include a collection of ancient items made from materials that usually rot away over time, such as animal hides. However, they were hidden in several dry caves in Oregon's northern Great Basin region, which helped preserve them.
