To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the Chinese were the first to use it in the eleventh century B. C.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by the king or by those in high office.
73.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece.
But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
By the 18th century the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrella did not change much in style during all this time, though they became much fighter in weight. It was not until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas were made, in a whole variety of colors. [br] It is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were come from______?
