166 years ago, on the 12th of November 1859, Jules Léotard performed the first flying trapeze routine. The one-piece garment he invented was named after him. Léotard had passed law exams at age 18 before becoming a professional gymnast and died at age 32, presumably due to smallpox. #otd #history 🗃️

103 years ago, on the 4th of November 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun was rediscovered. Howard Carter spent nearly 10 years cataloguing the objects in the tomb. In 2022, a letter came to light revealing Carter had been stealing treasures from the tomb. #otd #history 🗃️
