    This is a great point. Just because they're in the "bronze age" doesn't mean prior tools or variations thereof are not relevant. Even today, obsidian scalpels do have their uses in modern medicine. Steel is more common, cheaper and more durable, but there's definitely a market for obsidian scalpels when super fine precision is desired. The difference between a modern steel scalpel and obsidian are on the microscopic scale in terms of precision; but when you're talking about the bronze age it's a huge difference in the sharpness/precision of Bronze and flint/obsidian. Use the best tool for the job, even if the best tool for the job isn't "modern". I also like to point at Primitive Technology as a part of this. Although he's covered more historically modern methods of fire making, he usually doesn't bother using a fire bow or drill. Making a fire using his hands suits him fine in his use cases when he needs to get an ember going.

    Thomas S. uhhhh.... that might have worked??? idk?? think you can only get away with that in the congo tho. but yeah, if they died of natural causes, then that certainly would have been even more environmentally sustainable. i guess it depends on how sentimental you are over your own body. idc what happens to mine after i'm no longer living in it. make leather if you want. not like i'm gonna care if i'm dead already. i am also an organ donor. when i'm done with this body, it'll just be water, carbon, nitrogen, calcium, phosphorous, and a couple trace elements. but some people's superstitions def make them uncomfortable about it in many places. i mean, mummies are a pretty good example. wonder if they still would have used the mummification process if they knew they'd be sitting in a glass box in a museum, and spectators come from around the world to see how old you've gotten.

These observations, including the difficulties in the cutting, piercing, sewing of this armor, and the remarks about how it is the nature of armor to resist being cut and pierced, really bring home the cost of these ancient technologies and how much we take modern tech like tool steel and sewing machines (and all that they entail) for granted.

    This may have a great effect on your projected costs: Linen is processed into 2 grades from the point between the retting and the spinning. The finer and longer fibers go to making a spin linen thread, but the shorter course fibers are still finish spun (often by the children or younger apprentices) into a product called Tow. Tow is a strong material from which courser cloth is made, and also ropes and cordages. This is where the modern use of the word Tow drives from, as in Tow Truck. A product produced with the bulk of the fabric used being made from 2nd grade materials like Tow and faced atop with finer Linen is more likely than, and less expensive than, one made from all the finest cloth available.

    You're dead wrong John. Firstly it's been frozen and then cooked so it is thoroughly sterilised. Second, a waxy lipid like lard acts as an occlusive barrier against foreign pathogens so smearing heat treated animal fat into a wound before bandaging it would likely give you a lot of added protection from infection compared to a bandage alone. There aren't any pathogens I know of that can thrive in oil.

    You can ask local hunters (or the people offering deer butchering services) for their hides. You can get all the raw deer hides you can ask for - especially if you don't mind doing the fleshing (removing the fat etc.). The deer was killed for its meat and the hide is normally thrown away so it's a win-win.

    I remember seeing a video lecture on this topic. The hypothesis on part of the reason that this armor was so available is that it was preferable to use lower grade linnen made from thicker, more poorly made thread like sack cloth. In tests this supposedly grants more protection because the individual threads are thicker and harder to cut through. This was also not only easier to make but was commonly made in large quantities for other purposes so making the armor out of it was practically a form of recycling.

    making armor from many layers of cloth does technically take more time than using bronze, but you can have hundreds of people working on making the materials and get a team of armorers to assemble it. with bronze, it's much harder to work with unless you are a craftsman, so it's more expensive. think of the difference between what an everyman could do in that society vs what specialty roles there were. with the Romans, women would make textiles while watching the house (Penelope from the odyssey) while bronzesmiths were expensive to teach, and due to sexism, were men. not to mention, textile material and animal fat were cheap while bronze was heavily expensive due to relative scarcity. just a little history for all who wondered why it would be cheaper instead of bronze chest plates.

    Ya. Of course it would take a single person 700 hours to make it. This is something an entire team would chip in to create, like a mail hauberk, except with flax. Its easy to see that if you split 700 between 10 people you could probably produce a few of these every month. Not to mention that they were probably not used very often compared to other items, so once you produced one you could probably use it for a long time. Wish he would mention that it was a team enterprise in the video.
