The team of archeologists in Armenia unearthed the world’s oldest leather shoe, which they found buried in a cave - packed and preserved - under a floor of sheep dung. They came upon an amazing find, to say the least! 

See if you too can be amazing by helping them find the way to the ancient Areni-1 shoe. Just remember after digging up the shoe to wash the dung off your hands!
