“a Bronze Age shoe (just one)”
That really had to suck for the Bronze Age guy who lost it and had to trek down the glacier with just one shoe left!
His name was John, and he has been immortalized in doggerel
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John,
Went to bed with his stockings on;
One shoe off, and one shoe on,
Deedle, deedle, dumpling, my son John.
Also, we learn more of him, and his toes, from the Bible:
“Many are cold, but few are frozen.”
