What were the first leather balls made of? History of the first ancient window. Toys and rattles. It's hard to believe, but all these things were once made from a bull bubble. It was used in military affairs, in medical practice and in the manufacture of children's toys. But they did not dare to use it in cooking.
What did the windows look like two hundred years ago?
Many years ago, bull bubbles were used instead of window glass. They were pulled onto the frame, after preliminary processing. At the same time, during the daytime, the light in the room was very dim. When stretched, it is transparent, slightly yellowish. Strong enough, reminiscent of modern polyethylene.
Bubbles have been used in the manufacture of children's toys. They were inflated and used to play balloons with children. Peas were poured into dried, inflated bubbles and received ringing rattles.
Special uses of the bubble
Used an inflated bull bubble when necessary:
- Cross the body of water. The bubbles were tied up in several pieces, tied around their body and transported.
- Measure the depth of the reservoir. Explorers of past centuries threw them into the water and waited for them to surface.
A curious story happened with the invention of the ball. First invented itRoman gymnastics teacher named Atzius. When he saw a bull bubble for sale one day, he had a brilliant idea how to use it. I bought a bubble and processed it in the right way. After it was inflated and sheathed in leather. It turned out a good rubber ball. In use, the ball was light and bouncy. Thus, the bull bubble ball, invented by the gymnastics teacher, became the grandfather of all balls.
In Russia, too, used such balls. The process of transforming a bubble into a soccer ball is not very difficult, but requires a lot of diligence.
Long before now, small bubble bags have been very popular. And now at the exhibition of Yakut masters such handbags were presented as souvenirs.
Making musical instruments using old technology
Many nationalities used the bull bladder in the manufacture of musical instruments. For example:
- Shuvyr is the oldest musical instrument of the Mari.
- Bagpipes - byz (byzgeton). Udmurt national instrument.
- Gander or, in other words, goose is a type of drum, a percussion musical instrument. Found in all peoples of the world.
Make-up artists of the last century widely used wet bull bladder in the manufacture of a wig. Since it is smooth, it was used when it was necessary to play a person without hair on his head in a theatrical production. A bubble was pulled over the head and created the appearance of a bald head.
