@caitlinrgreen What is the relation of Camels with Beowulf?
@Archatgs They're from an Anglo-Saxon text of the Marvels of the East bound with Beowulf :)
@caitlinrgreen But what is the relation between A-Saxons & elephants? They are not British animals.
@Archatgs Well, not in this era! Once, though...But seriously, they're trying to illustrate the Marvels in the text but aren't clear on how!
@caitlinrgreen If the dog like ants have ears and 4 legs (each), how do we know that they are ants? And not dogs.
@BonyardB Hah! Animal 'identifications' based on the text of Marvels of the East :)
@caitlinrgreen @BonyardB ?wondering if all these illustrations = massive artist leg pull, w/aim of stimulating tweets in future millennia
@CatherineEsse @BonyardB Totally this ;)
@caitlinrgreen I can understand issues with elephants, but a bit of ant research shouldn't have been too hard to manage for our ancestors!
