The origin of helmets is still a mystery; the oldest use of helmets was by the Ancient Greek Soldiers. Helmets have gone through several modifications over a span of time; earlier they were used to protect the head from sword blows and arrows, today we have them in sports, roads, construction etc. The basic concept hasn’t changed; it’s the mankind that has evolved. Below are some cool pictures showing the evolution – enjoy the ride.
