Oldest ever pair of pants date back 3,000 years

Washington: The world's oldest pair of pants has been discovered by the German archaeological team that are 3,000 years old on the remains of a man buried in a cemetery in Xinjiang, China.

The team created a replica of the trousers and assumes that pants were not suitable for long-distance walking, Mashable reported.

Mayke Wagner believes that the pants were meant for horseback riding and they were made of wool and intricately patterned.

Wagner said that during normal movements the inner parts of the legs, the crotch and the lower abdomen are not exposed to friction over an extended period of time but that's an issue while riding horses.

The pants have straight legs and look similar to those frequently worn by Justin Bieber.
