Egypt
Ancient Egyptian Pillow Analyzed
http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060403/pillow_arc.html
Many thanks to Aayko Eyma from EEF for forwarding me this piece from the Discovery Channel about the analysis of an unusual ancient Egyptian pillow: "Most ancient Egyptian pillows were rather uncomfortable-looking headrests carved out of wood, ivory and stone, but scientists have just analyzed a 4,000-year-old Egyptian pillow made out of woven plant fibers that were encased in a wax coating. The rare artifact, which dates to 2055-1985 B.C., suggests Cleopatra and other well-known ancient Egyptians may have snoozed on relatively fluffy pillows that perhaps biodegraded over time, leaving the hard headrests for modern archaeologists to find."
