If you are fascinated by the history of Ancient Egypt, then you may have come across images of golden sandals that are skillfully crafted from gold leaf. Some of these sandals even have fingertips. Gold sandals belonged not only to the Pharaohs, they were also found in the tombs of the wives of the rulers of Egypt.
Some netizens do not believe that the Egyptian nobility could wear such shoes during life, logically explaining their distrust by the hot climate of Egypt, the scorching sun, completely incompatible with metal shoes, as this would be fraught with burns. Therefore, they insist that the golden sandals belong to a funeral ritual. But let's remember the tombstone of King Pharaoh Narmen.
Behind the Pharaoh himself, who defeats his opponent, is the Sandeliran. There was such a position. He washed the king's feet and tied his sandals when he sat on the throne. Therefore, of course, it is unlikely that the noble Egyptians cut through the hot sand in these sandals, burning their feet. But, nevertheless, they still had the opportunity to wear such shoes during their lifetime.
