The word parasol was synonymous with umbrella during its early history. Archaeologists have discovered bas relief in Nineveh showing he parasol. It is held by a servant over the head of the king to protect him from the sun's heat. Except for the connecting curtain, it looks a lot like the modern day umbrella.
