When where balloon invented?
That rather depends on the type of balloon: toy balloon, manned or unmanned balloons, gas-filled, air-filled or hot-air filled balloons. Kongming lanterns (or Chinese lanterns) were used as early as 220CE, and are a type of hot-air balloon. They were originally used for signalling and were unmanned. However, there is speculation that the Nazca culture of Peru were using tethered, manned hot air balloons up to 2000 years ago in order to assist in the design of the Nazca ground lines and figures. Manned, hot-air balloons were "officially" invented in December 1782 by the Montgolfier brothers, with the first untethered, manned flight occurring in November 1783. The first hydrogen-filled balloon took flight on August 27, 1783. Air-filled balloons are typically unmanned, toy balloons. Originally, animal stomachs and intestines were used and Galileo (1564-1642) inflated a pigs bladder to try and determine the weight of air. Rubber balloons were invented in 1824 by Michael Faraday.
