The fan is depicted on Assyrian, Babylonian and Egyptian cave reliefs. By that time, they managed to turn into a symbol of power and dignity: the fan — the fan of the ruler of the slave hold over the head of the ruler. Later, even honorary posts of fan -bearers appeared. In Egypt, for example, a fan -bearer has always been located on the left hand of the ruler. The oldest fan was also found there. His age is about four thousand years old.
