Thank you, Flint & team, for asking me to be part of #RealArchaeology.
In ancient Greece, weaving was more than a craft—it was a vital form of storytelling that wove myths, legends, and culture into the fabric of everyday life. In this video, I explore the fascinating intersection between weaving and storytelling in the ancient world, uncovering how archaeological findings reveal the symbolic importance of woven textiles and the tales they carried.
