Still the most noble form of transportation is to be carried around by others, walking yourself is for plebs. Show us your palanquins then!

It is better than walking yourself at any time. The ride quality improves the more bearers you got. The lowest you wanna go is two bearers, and that is already the budget option.
>>
>>1902721
The more bearers you got the better obviously. A good set is like 24 bearers for a smooth and efficient ride.

If you like extras like your spouse, a tv, minibar etc. you want more bearers, if you want to go for a sporty ride, get a single seater and a dozen bearers. Pic related is Queen Elisabeth II and Prince Phillip going for a stroll.

Since you had to reply to my comment from 4 months ago:
I was referring to the low level of grain and detail which is atypical for a 35mm film photograph from that time. >>1908687 is a lot more along the lines of what you would usually expect.

My theory is that it was shot on medium format film.

>>1960767
Palanquins in general is one of the most culturally-enshrined forms of transportation, and is inherently a status symbol that displays one being raised and transported by many others, with the assumption of social supremacy.
Why would it be unreasonable that playing with such a classic formula triggers a response?

(actually not sure if you're referring to just that image, which isn't that shocking compared to others in this thread)

Hey, even the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob got in on the act. The Ark of the Covenant was supposedly not only a box holding holy relics from the Exodus, but its gold lid (the "mercy seat") was where the Israelites believed the Spirit of the Lord hung out before they were able to build a proper Temple for Him. It was a palanquin for God, carried about on poles by priests.

>>1996724
Pic related. Although according to Exodus it was a bit bigger than this and carried by 12 dudes, not 4.

>>1996725
yeah, the Falasha of Ethiopia are supposedly one of the original tribes of Israel, there were originally 12 I think, I can't remember the name of the guy who the tribe is named after but supposedly he ended up with the arc of the covenant. real or no, they still have the fucker stashed in their temple, but they parade it around as your pic shows once a year on one of the high holy days.

>lined with plumes of macaw feathers
>adorned with plates of gold and silver
>borne by EIGHTY CHIEFS in rich blue livery
https://books.google.com/books?id=0QUVAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA53#v=onepage&q&f=false

Imagine seeing an palanquin with EIGHTY bearers

The most important thing is make sure all your bearers are about the same height and walk evenly.
Nobody looks noble when they're clinging on for dear life because of everything getting pitched around like mad.

I sometimes fantizise about traveling exotic cities, carried in my large and luxurious palanquin. As I peek through the drapes from my elevated position, I browse the local talent for young women to invite and breed. Obscured only by the sheer curtains of luxurious silk, the contours of our steamy copulation is outlined as we move along the busy streets.
