SCISSORS Scissors were invented thousands of years ago (roughly 1500 B.C.) in ancient Egypt. Early scissors have been found in ancient Egyptian ruins. These early scissors were made from one piece of metal (unlike modern scissors, which are made from two cross-blades which pivot around a fulcrum). Modern cross-bladed scissors were invented in ancient Rome (roughly 100 A.D.). Early scissors were used by clothes makers and barbers. Scissors were not in common use until much later, in the 1500's (in Europe).
We may have to throw this one out....I have di Vinci as well, but can anyone provide a link to the Egyptian answer?
