This analysis is brilliant! Natural pleating makes sense for so many reasons. The idea that cadres of slaves were lavishly assigned to hand pleat the clothes each time they were washed would only make sense for the hyper elite. But the appearance of this effect would of course be desirable for classes with less power. So yes, it appears she found the answer to what is essentially a problem of social and economic structure.
i want to make a 1910s-1970s haute couture gown called a delphos gown if i were a weaver i would definitely trymaking self pleating fabric (although fortuny, the designer, patented his process and his wife is credited to have made most of the earlier models by pleating with her fingernails, so it's pretty clea those gowns were pleated out of silk taffeta)

I found this article very helpful. I'm a doll clothing designer, fellow RU-vidr, and writer. I'm currently doing a series on doll history for my website, and I'd like permission to embed this video on my website. I will, of course, credit you. Please let me know if you have any additional requirements. I have contact info on my RU-vid channel.
You tell me. All we can say is that stone age chipping and grinding did not produce the hyper accurate stone vases on uncharted x . They do not have cylindrical interiors so not tube drilled . See the current uncharted x metrology videos on the bowls and vases.
Not all 'engineers' are equal (look up Stock's CV by the way) - Chris Dunn has posted (and Uncharted X) impeccable metrology results and videotaped the actual measuring of ancient (maybe even pre dynastic) vases MACHINED to mere thousands of an inch accuracy - UTTERLY impossible for ANY hand controlled chipping or grinding process. To those with no personal or professional exposure to manufacture of any kind (I include Dr Miano here) handwaving and use of hyperbole or just waffle (verbiage) is sufficient explanation. To the rest it is not.
26:21 Might it have been worn the other way around ie the narrow triangle at the back to fit between buttocks? Maybe the vertical central line was to help with keeping in place the bits of the male genitalia? Were the securing ends wrapping around towards the front in a knot? Obviously, I don’t know what I’m talking about and don’t mean to be rude.
That's an amazing discovery. How fortunate to match the two pieces and complete their names. Now you can fulfill the wishes of the deceased that they will not be forgotten. Magic!.
Please send that poor girl to speech class … her constant umm’s are very unprofessional. Um , ummm, um… makes her sound like she is not prepared . Had to turn off sound and read transcript. She sounds like a 4 th grader giving their 1st speech. The information is excellent , unfortunately it’s given by a person with no public speaking expertise. Sad.
How far away were they that they were writing these letters to request a single item? They are all in the same village, right? Wouldn't you just go ask? Or have someone go ask for you and pick up the goose fat while they were at it? It makes me think of a whole network of couriers running these little, sometimes unnecessary, messages all over the village. Texting.
A very good question! Since Khay and Babi were two other villagers, you would expect them to be living nearby. As you say, why not go ask, or send someone? While hard to say for sure, it could be that Nakhtamun (and other villagers writing letters to other villagers) wanted to show off their ability to write. It could be that it was also considered the formal thing to do!
You can only give something back if the person/organisation/country you are giving it to actually want it. The Egypt Centre has never had any requests from the Egyptian government to return any objects from the collection.
It's ridiculous that the British museum has a copyright on a picture of a tool from history or a tool set there should be a law against withholding history and truth from Humanity
There is a thing called 'cost/benefit ratio' --HOW much endless pounding or grinding is ONE ,crude,thick walled (therefore heavy and relatively inefficient as a carrier of anything ) 'vase' or bowl WORTH? -- surely people living next to a river with lots of mud/clay etc would work out how to make bowls and jars etc (like we still do) that way rather than via VIRTUALLY endless ,yes, "drudgery' - SIX MONTHS (the Russiam 'mythologists' figure) of full time hard graft seems just a little excessive - to me at least if not to you . Maybe you would concede that at SOME point it is just not ,even remotely worthwhile to grind away for days,weeks, months ... on end to get one lousy bowl . (or maybe you would not ..) SOMEONE is feeding you (the bowlmaker) and housing you etc for that interminable slog. -THEY might not think it 'cost effective' either. Ultra precision simply demolishes Stock's eager 'debunk' -- nothing else is needed to throw all his misguided speculation out the window --for example his 'swing saw' does NOT and CANNOT leave parallel,concentric, circular arc striations -- it leaves a 'herringbone' pattern of sawmarks that cross each other -as is easily proven . World of Antiquity (Dr David Miano ) quotes and references Stocks (and "sacred Geometry decoded ) as THE authority on this "Proving; that the even parallel concentric saw marks shown by Uncharted X ARE created by a 'Stocks saw " . The blind lead the blind.
So here we have an engineer, D. Stocks, who is explicit that he can't judge ancient craftsmanship with modern (20-21st century) standards. He is meticulous and humble in his assessments. He demonstrates his claims. He shows that the claim that the ancient Egyptians couldn't possibly have achieved this level of precision to be laughably incorrect. And this drives the alt-history clowns crazy!!! Multiple posts saying the exact same thing....
Excellent demonstration, given the limited time available. Thanks! Tools have been found. Tools and craftspeople are depicted in wall paintings. The shaped stone objects show tool marks consistent with the techniques demonstrated here. The pieces all fit together. It involved a tremendous amount of labor and time. But everything the Egyptians did seemed to involve lots of labor and time. They weren't working union hours, and laboring for the God-King meant an assured place in Heaven.
And now I have a new fascination. I am in the process of making a replica Egyptian spindle, to have a go at splicing and spinning yarn. I am not a clever enough weaver to try and weave with it, but maybe one day, a friend of mine can try, based on this video. Thank you so much.
C'mon Denys, wake up to the real world, the Egyptians did not do all these things in the same way they did not build the pyramids. If they did it was as slaves and not without help from a far more intellectual/advanced people, who then cleared off again and left the Egyptians in the same situation as they were before! How does a culture end up going from basic goat herder living, to suddenly creating incredibly advanced buildings, jewellery and pottery etc over night,,,, then just a few years after the Pharaohs disappear, the Egyptians go back to being goat herders and living in shacks again? No more giant statues, incredible buildings or exquisite artwork, something doesn't add up. Even today if you go to Egypt, they appear not to have moved on. Stop making it up, start looking for the truth. Brien Foerster and Graham Hancock are currently the only people you can trust on the subject of Egyptology, I recommend everyone research them on here.
I'm afraid that I am persuaded by the sheer amount of drudgery that would be involved to make everything by 'pounding' or slow wearing away, stone against stone by hand that some other technique had to have been involved -- the degree of precision acheived is a separate issue (we don't always strive for absolute precision even using machine tools , sometimes it just doesn't matter , As a qualified engineering patternmaker (dying breed) I can attest that frequently it is only functional surfaces and dimensions that are created to tolerances --the backside of a tool might be just left rough for example. But that they could, and did, make SOME things with undeniable exactitude beyond what hand pounding could possibbly achieve and that fact leads to astounding implications .....
Sadly Denys Stocks appears to be a simple Northern lad, using simple logic, which is totally unscientific. He is one of the many misguided people who are trying to make sense of how a civilisation barely out of the wheel, could create such incredible architectural structures and exquisite art/jewellery etc, with often the most primitive of tools, seemingly in just a few minutes. They obviously could not, there has to be more to it. The squaring of internal and external corners done with such precision and the mirror finish polishing of them into hard granite etc are just two examples that defy logic with the tools available at that time. Stocks and others are living in a dream world, spouting garbage, which is covering up the truth and causing others not to look for it. It's a shame that Denys et al are invited to talk as though they are specialists in the field, as studying something your entire life, particularly when you only use your own theories, sadly does not make you an expert.
@@ankyspon1701 I agree --as to 'barely out of the wheel' I seem to recall that we are meant to believe that the pyramid era Egyptians did not know about the wheel. Might be wrong but I can't recall any depictions of the wheel until much later --all theorists on pyramid construction do not show wheels either --of course the bowls had to be turned (but how they included the integral handles is baffling ) presuming you know about uncharted x and maybe david miano 'world of antiquity' both worth a look.
@@annadalassena5460 Of course if you rule out incredibly (literally) tedious wearing away by hand using crude stones and take into account the precision of flatness, squareness, symmettry , circularity in the case of bowls vases etc and so on you must conced that they had some form of non hand guided efficient stone shaping - ie machinery ,tribilogy ,metrology . To most archeologists this is beyond astounding on to unthinkable...... "Truth"? - 'that which is correct'...? see Pontious Pilate .
Re "the sheer amount of drudgery that would be involved" Egypt at the time had a large population of peasants who would have months of the year with little to do other than watch crops grow. I am open to arguments that we don't know how some things could be done with the technology that we know they have, but one resource we know they had was the time to do a truly humungous amount of drudgery. This was not some pastoral tribe where a hundred people putting in a hundred days affort every year for a hundred years would be a major commitment, they had a capacity for drudgery many orders of magnitude above that.
@@jonathancardy9941 see the recent uncharted x video 'scanning an ancient granite vase to thousandths of an inch -game changer etc' (google will get you there ,title is approximate UNLIKE the vase which is INCREDIBLY precise -- measured by qualified metrologists and showing the cad images -- astounding accuracy in all principle axiis and circularity - FAR FAR beyond any POSSIBLE result by handwork even in 'infinite' time. This result does change everything - no room for hand waving or speculation or other 'excuses' -the things are MACHINED.
It is my understanding that egiptians didn't write multiples of fractions like we do, like 4/12 or 5/9. Instead they used only reciprocals of whole numbers. Eg: the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4 and of 12 is 1/12. So instead of writing 7/12 or 7 * 1/12, they turned it into a sum of reciprocals. So for 7/12, they had: 7 / 12 = 1/12 + 6/12 = 1/12 + 1/2. 1/12 + 1/2, that is what he number in line 6 is.
It was interesting but more a disproof of how the delicate, cardboard thin (using Petrie's expression) beautifully symmetrical and elegant vases and bowls etc could have been produced -- it is possible that later dynastic egyptians tried to replicate the superior work using such methods and failed - likewise the incredibly precise boxes -the "most precise object" in Uncharted X's video or that on Elephantine island with a pyramidial end cannot have been made by such crude methods - this is ;cargo cult' technology (the New Guinae natives tried to reproduce what they had seen descend from the skies in bamboo and leaves but only made the crudest ,but recognizable, facsimilies of aircraft) Sorry but no cigar.
Unfortunately, Bens claims of incredible precison are untrue if you are talking about machine quality. The truth is, machines of today are to0 precise to reproduce the tolerance variations that are found in the ancient artifacts.
Sorry to tell you dude but Uncharted X is a grifter and a bullshit artist. He deletes links to videos that show how these things are actually done. Petrie’s vases are only ‘cardboard thin’ at the necks, Uncharted claims they are thin all the way through, he also over states the precision of the work. The fact he deletes link to videos that point out his mistakes shows he knows what he is doing, he’s not just mistaken, he’s bullshitting. If you’re actually interested in the truth and not just sensational claims, look up SGD Sacred Geometry Decoded’s channel.
@@casualviewing1096 SGD (Allan Smith) is THE bullshitter par excellance -- his videos "PROVING" that Egyptian, Peruvians et al sculpted the hardest rocks with COPPER or did delicate carving -column capitals etc, with FLINT (Stone) tools ALWAYS show modern STEEL set saws ,STEEL chisels, Diamond cutting wheels etc with just his usual painfully stilted but arrogant voice over (in bogan Australian accent) stating that 'copper and flint are the same as steel' (DIRECT VERIFIABLE QUOTE from his video. If you want senational claims ,based on bullshit, look no further than his "SACRED" geometry videos and ponder a bit the implications --he is basically a theophosist /mystic/ fantasist using the hard physical stoneworking evidence to garner a veneer of respectability by sneering and deceptive 'demonstrations' at micro scale purporting to explain away the megalithis work that Uncharted X highlights . I have shown numerous times how his handheld rocking 'saw' cannot have been the way that the Ux basalt slab was cut --also on Miano's 'World of Antiquity' (he is a devotee of SGD) Get your own copper/bronze chisels and steel counterparts and FIND OUT just how wrong he is. And carry out my test to show that Stocks' 'swing saw' does NOT leave parallel, concentric ,curved tool paths - in fact it leaves herringbone, crossing striations and a STRAIGHT line edge of cut. Easily proven if you want truth.
But you're an openminded seeker of truth, right? So, who do you think was capable of producing such precision? What tools were used? When did this advanced culture live? when did they disappear? What were they called?
The Romans forced Christianity on the world. The mystery system was the world religion before Christianity. Constantine killed his family and thousands more because they didn't want to follow Christianity
