World's Most Amazing Moustache
The word "moustache" is French, and is derived from the Italian moustacio (14th century), meaning "upper lip" or "facial hair".
Shaving with stone razors was technologically possible from Neolithic times, but the oldest portrait showing a shaved man with a moustache is an ancient Iranian (Scythian) horseman from 300 BC.
Various cultures have developed different associations with moustaches. For example, in many 20th-century Arab countries, moustaches are associated with power, beards with Islamic traditionalism, and lack of facial hair with more liberal, Western political tendencies.
