You stated that you don't believe that those figures are real women, but exaggerations because you don't believe there was enough caloric surplus to sustain such obese women. I disagree. The way in which the figures store their fat is counter-intuitive to someone who has only seen skinny or overweight people, such as the fat rolling over the knees, making a U shape. Similarly with fat stores in the ankles and pubic area. I believe that these women once existed.
You're quickly becoming my favourite blog, unironically! And I adore your references, so much more to read! Although I'm still curious about such matters - the Mongoloids are staunchly conservative, yet they also broke their females' feet, and were savage. How is it explained?
But yeah, poor Himmler with his Langhäusern getting bullied a century later : (
Super interesting article, unfortunately I don’t know much about early European cultures. What books/documentaries do people recommend. Thanks.
