Tents, to be linen or not to be linen.
#14
Very true, and impossible to say from the images what the artist intended, or how much 2000 years of weather has done.

I still believe that you are dealing with conjecture -- which is fine -- but have yet to see any proof from the archeological record, which I have offered regarding leather tents. :wink:

I like Christian Koepfer's advice:

"If you make up ideas first, then you will find yourself hunting for proof for these."

So, I think you may be hunting for proof of something that you might have made up. Big Grin

Good luck in your hunt! Big Grin
