Holy shit, that’s a fat one. I hope she passed that along.
Looks very loose though. Wouldn’t shock me if it was a similar amount of tobacco to a modern cigar.
These aren’t dramatically different from how they make hand-rolled cigars today. The modern ones mostly look better.
Roll me up one of them blunts, homie.
@massive_bereavement@fedia.io,
Just for the record, this is much more typical of the facial features I was expecting in this painting.Aztecs, depicted in the painting, and Maya were different people with quite different features, and not a whole lot of crossover.
I know they were different peoples, but thought they shared plenty of genetic similarity. What do you think about that painting?
I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s odd that they are depicted with almost African features, their hair looks like dreadlocks. The only one that looks most Aztec like in features is the kneeling man holding the sacrificed victim’s hand. It’s also weird that the victim of the sacrifice is so much lighter in complexion than the rest of them. Also, what’s up with the black bodysuit they’re wearing?
Good point. The kneeling guy definitely reminds me of certain classic Aztec - Mexican looks.
The ‘black body suits’ are probably due to a dark-blue dye, perhaps a classic one made by indigo dye + a specific clay. But funny thing-- it sounds like it’s supposed to be the victim painted that way, not so much the priests.
Obviously you have to entertain anything here as containing errors, but this might shed some light on this stuff.
Not Malay.
