Fact of the Day: 06/01/2022

When you dress up for some event, you tend to use a mirror to see how you look. Who created the modern-day mirror? According to Thought Co., “To make a mirror, pre-Christian Lebanese or Phoenicians blew a thin sphere of molten glass into a bubble, and then poured hot lead into the bulb of glass. The lead coated the inside of the glass. When the glass cooled, it was broken and cut into convex pieces of mirror” (Szczepanski par. 5). Even though this gave the mirror a disoriented shape, it was still the closest invention at the time to the modern-day mirror. Mirrors have been in our daily life for a long time and have affected us in many ways. If we’d never had mirrors, how would we have been able to make sure we looked perfect for big events? How would we have even been able to know what we look like to begin with?
