Problem with your lecture and all Western scholars is you all think everything started from Roman Empire. It is true that Roman Empire and Iranian, Persian Empire were at the same millennium and Mithraism from Iran influenced Roman solders. But Mithraism is part of Zoroastrian philosophy dated back to some four thousand years ago. Study the origin of Mithra and start from there.
Hi Ali, that was awesome thank you. But could you tell me do you unravel the rolled up hessian as you need. But you can’t roll up the already worked area. Is that right? So it unravels and gets bigger 😯
This is great thank you! My mum always talked about her making proggy mats with my Grandmother. Where would I find the frames please? Is it something people tend to make themselves?
The name of the Gallery is mentioned several times, but no mention of the city where it is located. I guess they assume the Gallery is so famous that information is not necessary.
My friend made me a ‘proggy’ or ‘clippy’ matt, it’s beautifully made, the only problem is it sheds loads of little fibres all over the floor, I thing she used fleece like materials. Is there any way to stop it ‘molting’?
my aunti Leena used to make rugs like that in the 1960s. My uncle invented a "striper" to cut several strips of fabric at once. She made some truly awesome large rugs. Thank You Thank You Thank You❤
Thank you for saving me the time of doing that. I've always admired them and I thought I might do it someday but I'm trying to learn pin looming and that's already got my mind going round and round. I'm 76 and decided I better learn this now.. The pendulum that is. Your tutorial was really clear and I appreciate the time that you took and a little hints and tips along the way.
Hello Ma’am. I came across this film this morn as I was sorting the wash! My Great Aunt Mamie did this exact sort of craft that was traditional in my family’. Along the line the boxes of frames and tools along with wool and patterns never were found after a large move . I do have some hooks and wool. Is this also called Huck cloth ? In one of the “lost” boxes were bolts of linen and this cloth. Thank you kindly for bringing this craft to view as it results in a fine May indeed!
Just been today, Nov 2022, to the Chris Killip retrospective at Photographer's Gallery in London. These are powerful images, by turns I was saddened, shocked and angered. Why didn't we get to see these photographs at the time?
My name is Chip Kirkpatrick and I live in NE Florida. I do historical metal detecting and a few years ago I found an amazing antique silver Scottish medallion with the Kirkpatrick mottos TOUCH AND I PIERCE and I MAKE SICKER engraved on it along with numerous other engravings of Scottish history. I have a RU-vid video on it. Search for Kirkpatrick Keeping It In the Family. If you are a Kirkpatrick, it will blow your mind.
The reason Mithra is depicted as riding on a chariot is bc of Achaemenid chariot forces being the most overpowered thing back in 2500 BC because of its versatility and the ability to both shoot arrows and use melee weapons. So the persians naturally assumed that the strongest god must also be using such a strong combination.
