Feminist twitter is critiquing this representation of the bronze age"Egtverd girl", claiming that a girl from that era couldn't be so fit, clean, shaven and have well combed hair. Is this assessment correct? How was bronze age higiene and grooming?:https://x.com/i/status/2001693339955933450
>>18244290They think bronze age chicks were just rolling around matted and hairy 24/7? :|>clean, shaven and have well combed hairHygiene is a human universal. Bathing in rivers/lakes, sweat/grime scraped off with strigils, grooming was a sign of status. We have finds of bronze age combs, razors (flint and bronze), tweezers, and ear scoops. Hair was often braided or styled, shown in figurines and actual preserved hair.>a girl from that era couldn't be so fitShe did manual labor and ate a non-processed food diet, of course she was lean.
>>18244290They most certainly would not have shaved body hair as this is mostly a modern fashion sentiment that wasn't common outside of Egypt and the Middle East but they did comb and style their hair, wore rudimentary makeup, and definitely would be fit.
>>18244290Don't worry, the carpet probably is as thick as the curtains
>hairless
I dont care for what shitter does
>>18244290>couldn't be so fitThat is genuinely blowing my mind. Think about it, this is a person who has lived a (by modern standards) incredibly active life, pretty much from the moment she was able to stand up and do things she'd have physically active jobs to do. She'd also be living on an entirely natural and healthy diet. How could she NOT be fit? >Feminist understanding of historyAh, OK, that makes a lot more sense.
>>18244290>ugly hamplanets deny the existence of nordic beautyA tale as old as humanity.
>>18244290>fitWould be much fitter than modern women>cleanWashing yourself is not a modern invention >well combed hair Neither are combs >shavenShe’s a teen, you can’t see shit, what are they expecting, a beard?
>>18244290>claiming that a girl from that era couldn't be so fit, clean, shaven and have well combed hair.In that era, you had to be fit and clean to survive. You couldn't risk obesity or infection. You didn't have that luxury in the Neolithic era.The luxury was being overfed and not cleaning up regularly. If you didn't clean up in an era before medicine, chances are you would get sick and die.Also she is not hairless at all:>>18244326
>>18244290She would absolutely be that fit. They weren't eating extra large venti coffee oce cream cups, takis, and chipotle.That girl was eating a few slices of fish and a carrot for dinner after spending all day doing manual chores.
>>18244290Razors are a hella common bronze age item, though I think they're mainly associated with male grooming.
>>18244290Native Americans in Brazil were essentially in the Stone Age when the Portuguese found them and literally one of the first things the Portuguese described in detail is how hygienic and well groomed the Indians were, so yeah the idea that ancient Humans were all a bunch of smelly oogaboogas is absolutely bunk, even Chimpanzees groom by picking off fleas and shit from each other.
Was it a Jew who said that? Disregard anything out of an Ashkenazi’s mouth. They are liars like their creator, Satan.
>>18244672both men and women in bronze age egypt kept their bodies clean shaven
>>18244532>That girl was eating a few slices of fish and a carrot for dinner after spending all day doing manual chores.Why do people think CICO doesn't apply to historical people? If a person, even a rather small one, does manual work, they need ot eat decentla, or they'll starve to death (and, before that, be unable to perform their work). "a few slices of fish and a carrot" does not cut it.
>>18244290The teeth are the only issue, they seem to have been whitened and she probably wore braces. The dress also looks a bit too modern style, they probably didn't wear a top like that.
>>18244842>The dress also looks a bit too modern style, they probably didn't wear a top like that.>he doesn't know about Egtved GirlIt was some surprise in their time>what? Bronze Age girls dress like its Conan Books cover?!
>>18244842These are the clothes she was found with.
>>18244842Anon, it's based on clothes found on her...
>>18244861>a skirt and t-shirtSome things never change
>>18244290
>>18244827 the girl in op is no athlete people in the past walked everywhere, there is no reason to think a girl in the past would be overweight
>>18244923Work on your reading comprehension. I didn't say she should be overweight, I said she didn't eat as modestly as anon imagined without starving to death.
>>18244353>How could she NOT be fit?Pre-modern agricultural life had its own challenges. You talk about "physically active jobs" and "a natural and healthy diet", but for a lot of people back then "physically active jobs" meant joint-destroying/bone-bending work and "a natural and healthy diet" meant a one-sided, cereal-heavy diet with occasional spells of significant caloric deficits due to harvest failures.If you want examples, look at some bog bodies. Yde Girl was similar in age to Egtved Girl (young adult), but she was only 137cm tall (the size of a child today) and had a bent spine. Borremose I (adult male) was 155cm tall (the size of a particularly short woman today). Grauballe Man apparently belonged to the upper class of his time, but his teeth showed signs of malnutrition in childhood. He had a severe calcium deficiency and early stage spondylosis when he died around age 30. Tollund Man was about 40 years old when he died, 161cm tall (again, the size of a short woman today) and had several species of parasites in his intestines. Uchter Moor Girl was a young adult, had damaged joints and bones from hard labor, had suffered injuries several times, had a slightly deformed spine and had spent several years sick and starving.And no, that's not just a Northern Europe thing; we simply know a lot about it because these corpses were well-preserved. If you look at Ancient Egyptian commoners' cemeteries, you find the exact same thing - periods of malnutrition, deformities to the bones, disintegrating joints, et cetera. If anything, the difference is that in Northern Europe most commoners who reached adulthood would live for at least 40-50 years, sometimes 60-70, while in Ancient Egypt most commoners who reached adulthood still died before age 35.
>>18244532>a few slices of fish and a carrot for dinnerHer diet would have been seasonal, but always featuring porridge. During summer and autumn commoners may have had a limited amount of fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, beans and nuts, and during spring perhaps some early-season berries, flowers and herbs, but during winter it would have been thin porridge all day every day, maybe with some dried herbs to season it and preserved milk if you were lucky.Then again, if she was a member of the elite, as her burial suggests, she may have had increased access to meat and dairy throughout the year, to offset the bad health effects of long winters with only porridge.
>>18244290>shaventhe non white are often confused by the fact that the white can have almost no body hair, or very fine and light body hair which appears imperceptible from a distance. Not everyone is a hairy monkey, although they hate us that are not.
They are right. Not to mention that skank is egregiously white. Not historically accurate.
>>18244975>egregiously white
>>18244290Why do feminists even have their own theory?
This picture is a year old, how the fuck are people just now discussing it?
>>18244975>egregiously whitebetter adjectives would include godly and angelic, or heavenly.
>>18244983I've seen it discussed before on this board. You need to lurk moar.
>>18244290>FitThat's just a normal not fat teenage girl body that doesn't require any activity. There are modern girls that do nothing but watch netflix and smoke weed while eating processed food that have the same physique as her.>HairlessThe photo literally shows the hair on her legs.
Are those gold? You ain't getting gold with no effort
>>18244827Medieval peasants ate 4000 calories of food a day.
>>18244290Yes, she was a FAT LOUD PROUD BLACK KWEEN y'hear, whyte boi? >>18244779Trvke
>>18244290The feminist is a filthy woke libtard who thinks cleanliness is patriarchy. However the artist of that pic tends to make his characters too clean, which is very bad when he depicts warriors.
>>18244888Embarrassing that I had to scroll this far before I found someone pointing out how SEX her abdomen is.
