I grow a lot of traditional European plants, mostly medicinal, but some just because I like having the history growing in my yard.

The colors you can get just from handling some roots while doing divisions is amazing.

I have my wife make my work shirts I use when working in the yard. Wool and linen. Holds up way better than cotton.

My dream as a kid was always to be a recreational archeologist, the type that goes out and tries to replicate historical settings and find out why things worked the way they did. Unfortunately I had to pay bills,and that kind of job wouldn't do it. If I ever ended up with shit loads of money I'd build a medieval landscape for white nationalists to do this.

We weren’t as filthy as the Jews always make us look in history either.
Even in mid evil city centres we weren’t dirty enough to start our own plagues until the Jews brought their merchant ship plague rats

Both my parents were born and raised on farms without plumbing or electricity until they were teenagers.
Subsistence farmers and mill workers back to at least 1400.
They’re barefoot in almost every childhood photo, yet in 100s of photos you can’t find more then 2 with dirt on their face, or rips in their clothing, and not 1 with dirt anywhere on their skin while indoors.
They were in the dirt working with animals every day of their lives, but bathed at least 4x/week, essentially sponge bathed every other day, and weren’t even allowed indoors without washing their hands, face and feet, no exceptions.

I was raised on a farm until I was 12, have 100+ cousins, 75% farmers, not 1 household in my family let a dirty person in the house, not 1. And at least every other summer day included a swim in a creek or gravel pit.

The only color that was rare was purple, they smashed snails by the thousands to make one dress, hence why only royalty could afford purple clothing. The cost is also why none of our flags had purple.

I don't think it's that deep. Also I wouldn't go by a tapestry to figure out what things looked like because they probably had limited skills and needed to use color to distinguish things. If it was all similar colors you couldn't tell anything apart.

It's part of the deception of history
