9. These Gold Sandals Came With Gold Toe Coverings
As if one could not get more luxurious than having sandals made entirely of gold, the wives of the Ancient Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III also had golden toe coverings to wear with the sandals. While that looks all well and good, imagine trying to walk around with those things stuck onto your toes. They would probably cause a fair share of bruising and bleeding! Thutmose III lived and reigned in the fifteenth century BCE over a territory that extended from Egypt through Palestine and Syria. His tomb, along with these sandals, was discovered in 1916.
