And this is not just tools or stone monuments, but the real, actual *people* preserved.<br />Yep, I agree. I refuse to believe that this was an every day style. It's just too complicated and troublesome to create. The way the braid is looped back up behind the other part of the braid is very comfortable and easy, but the way the braid is created with the "bundles" and rope structure just seems needlessly complicated and must definitely be ritualistic.

Also I realized I haven't ever seen a proper article written on the Elling woman anywhere in the longhair circuit, which is a little weird because she is so famous and there have been plenty Danish longhairs and northern Europeans in the longhair circuit, so SOMEONE should have written something on her before, but no?<br />Thank you for the information! Actually this makes a lot of sense since "German friend" is really "Alsacian, so German minority in France-Friend", which is just way too long and complicated. But Northern Germany and Denmark really seems to stick together when it comes to food and a whole lot of cultural things, so this makes a lot of sense :) Thank youLady Igorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06451836583153403025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304537496073354773.post-11652245644006656082019-07-29T05:32:23.235+02:002019-07-29T05:32:23.235+02:00I loved this entry!!

I would wonder if her hair (the Elling woman) had been an elaborate style if she was sacrificed to the Gods. If that was the case, then likely someone did this style for the sacrifice and possible not a common style? I'm thinking about my own hair and how it pisses me off when it gets in my face if I am doing something--I would want my hair up and out of the way. I only like it down if I am doing something of a social function or just bumming around the house (which I doubt they did in those times) Darkhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17330160434456876437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-304537496073354773.post-76551409174312553552019-07-27T14:45:15.476+02:002019-07-27T14:45:15.476+02:00You are such a super writer.

I'd have eaten that cake gladly, I love sour cream, even eat it straight out of the cup.Buchfreundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267858494343500374noreply@blogger.com
