How long ago was nudism born?

I would like to say right away that nudism has always existed, throughout the entire development of human history, but it has only manifested itself in various forms. Nudism in English means nature. Despite the fact that nudism has always existed, this phenomenon received a scientific explanation only at the end of the 19th century. It is worth noting that nudism is not a hobby or an occupation, it is a way of life that helps to live in harmony with nature.

So, everyone knows that nudism is the desire of people to appear naked in society. In modern society, nudism is considered something indecent, but is it really so?

In different epochs of human development, the attitude to nudity was different. For example, the nomads were of the opinion that nudity makes a person absolutely unprotected before natural forces.

The people of the ancient era held a different opinion. It was in ancient times that a movement appeared that was called the gymnosophist. This movement implied the life of the sages naked. It is also very important that in Sparta, young men and women considered it a great honor to appear naked before the people while participating in various sports competitions and holidays.

According to historians, in ancient times there was an opinion that only a civilized society can afford to be naked publicly.
