    Yeah probably 17th century - confirmed as early as 1703 but expected to have existed earlier. So I was definitely wrong. But how do we know it wasn’t invented thousands of years earlier and forgotten? But yeah, not in Jesus’ time.

      Maybe Jesus invented it and forgot to write down the design? We’ll never know.

      (Does this guy know that 1703 was the 18th century?)
