A little bit about the history of balloons

 

If you ask an ordinary person, who is not a venerable historian, when the balloons appeared, then for sure he will think. Or maybe not to answer the question. But we won't blame him for that. And call him illiterate, too. After all, balloons originate in ancient times. And no one can confidently name the author and the year of invention of this interesting little thing.
The researchers of the issue claim that the first balloons were intended for children's fun and decoration of premises on special occasions. Well, nothing has changed! Only the material has changed. After all, initially the internal organs of animals with a rounded or elongated shape served as the raw material for making a balloon.
They were filled with water or filled with air.
In ancient Rome, such toys were painted with multicolored colors and used for decorative decoration of the homes of important people, as well as in places of worship and banquet halls.
The ancient Aztecs considered colored air bubbles to be amulets bringing good luck. They were also used in sacrificial rituals.
In medieval Europe, such balls were an indispensable attribute of traveling musicians and buffoons. In Russia, it's skomorokhov. Historical sources contain descriptions of the feasts of Prince Vladimir, the Red Sun, at which such toys were used for entertainment.
The birthplace of balloons in their modern sense is England. Michael Faraday conducted experiments with hydrogen in the first half of the 20th century. It was for this purpose that rubber balls were invented. And already in 1825, the industry offered the country rubber toys. The name of Thomas Hancock and his invention, a bottle filled with liquid rubber and a syringe, should be mentioned here. The buyer could make the balloon himself.
Vulcanized rubber entered the wide arena in the 47th year of the same century. The product Engram became the closest in properties to the modern ball. It practically did not differ from the balloon of our time.
As we have seen, balloons have always attracted people. The perfect shape, light weight and the possibility of a variety of colors are the qualities that have made balloons a favorite toy for children and the best way to decorate a holiday for adults.
Balloons are always a festive mood. They allow you to embody any fantasy, because they are plastic, colorful and weightless material. Balloons can be used to make ordinary linear shapes, as well as animal shapes, flowers, numbers, and words. They can decorate an apartment, a country house, the facade of a building or a gift car. 1xBet is a popular online gambling and betting platform that offers various bonuses and promotions to its users.
