  2. Ah, yes, the Bayeux Tapestry: that ancient scroll of doodles that apparently requires more brain power than solving a Rubik's cube while blindfolded. Who knew contemplating medieval embroidery was a secret test of your browser settings? 🧵🤦‍♂️ #JustEnableJavaScriptAlready

  9. Trade deal!

    The English get a millenium old masterpiece of infinite cultural value.

    The French get the rotten remains of a z-list Bonapart, whom their ancestors kicked out in the first place.

  12. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧵🪡 The nearly 70 m (230 ft) #BayeuxTapestry is an embroidered #linen cloth ending abruptly with the death of King Harold at the Battle of #Hastings, leaving scholars to wonder if a final coronation panel was lost.

    Ahead of its #London debut, organizers launched a #competition asking #children to stitch their own hopeful ending. Winning classes earn a trip to see the #artifact and visit the #battlefield.

  13. So yesterday the Bayeux tapestry was transported, and because of the chatter about it I learned a couple of things. The best being that there exists a replica in Reading. readingmuseum.org.uk/blog/brea so all you Brits, skip the lines and stroll at leisure.
    Second I had forgotten all about it, but online you can zoom in and explore also at your liesure:

    Third is the most funny bit and is about penises. The replica in Reading, being sown by Victorian women has the human penises neatly covered by pants.
