One of the first exhibits that caught my eye was this ancient pair of Leather Boots retrieved from a grave in Xiaohe Cemetery in 2003. Need to be careful with the dating, it is not consistent across the Museum. These boots are dated 3800 BP which i guess means 'before Prophet'. The Prophet was born in 570, so using western dating the boots come from about 3,200 BC. Still pretty old, especially given they are made from organic material.
