 | If you’ve ever wondered where some of our commonly used household objects came from, then chances are your curiosity might have turned to the towel. While the invention of conveniences like the paper towel are well-documented, there is little historical or archaeological data to indicate who first washed their hands of the whole question, and then dried them.
When you think of it, even early Man must have used something to dry off when he got wet. Not that Neanderthals were big on baths or knew a lot about hygiene, but hunting Saber Tooth tigers in the rain must have made those fur suits pretty wet. Perhaps they grabbed another skin to wipe off the drops.
It would have been left to the more civilized societies to actually create a fabric or item that was meant specifically for the purpose of drying things. Of necessity, it should be absorbent. Chances are it wasn’t, since many of the earliest cultures had neither the raw materials nor the know-how to maximize the absorbency. But when you study a civilization like the Ancient Egyptians, and note their highly refined processing of flax into everything from clothing to bandages for mummies, it’s entirely possible that linen provided their towels as well. Not very absorbent, but usable nonetheless.
