Scientists Say 6,000-Year-Old Sandals Found In Spanish Bat Cave Are Europe’s Oldest Shoes

In a bat cave located in Spain, scientists have unearthed what they believe to be the oldest known pair of shoes in Europe.

A study published in the journal Science Advances reveals that these sandals, crafted from woven grass, are estimated to be approximately 6,000 years old.

These shoes were part of a collection of ancient artifacts discovered in the Cave of the Bats, situated in Andalusia. This cave was initially explored by miners during the 19th century.

Researchers from the Autonomous University of Barcelona and Alcala University in Spain have meticulously examined these objects, which include not only the ancient sandals but also baskets and sets of tools, NDTV reported.
