Tarkhan dress

The Tarkhan Dress, named for the Tarkhan cemetery south of Cairo in Egypt where it was excavated in 1913, is an over 5000 years old linen garment that was confirmed as the world's oldest piece of clothing.

The dress coded UC28614B is currently in the collection of the University College London (UCL) Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology. Radiocarbon testing last year at the University of Oxford affirms, with 95% accuracy, that the dress dates from between 3482 and 3102 BCE.
