Eyebrows are the thing that get me. Someone from the 1700's with the most perfectly manicured eyebrows.
Ha! So true
This always bothered the hell out of me. Why do they look like they are elves from middle earth, except they are wearing somewhat ragged clothes?
Probably because they didn‘t wash their faces with hot water and soap all the time but instead took sweat baths and washed them with cold water to keep the protective layer. They also had better teeth than most of us these days by the way.
No sodas or candies then.
Although Norsemen (Vikingane) is satire, I found the slaves’s makeup to be pretty well done. Chapped lips and other dirty features.
Norsemen is just such a great show all around.
they have soft skin because the are nine
Odds are good they’d have missing and half rotted teeth too.
They drank very little soda back then.
A lot of people had decent teeth (beyond the extra wear caused by the stone grinding of the flour adding stone powder to bread).
It’s not about soda. It’s about the lack of everything else.
didn't they drink a lot of beer instead?
Monthy Pithons nailed it in Sacred Graal
