The art of coloring wool with Tyrian purple dye is very precise. #DyeMaking #Snails #TyrianPurple - Jak na to + styl
I think this was the reason purple cloth was crazy expensive back in ancient days until a scientist (forgot their name) was able to acquire the purple colour through mixing some chemicals making it available for mass production
It is also the reason why no country has purple in their flag
William Henry Perkin💜
@@megu6137 Dominica, El Salvador and Nicaragua 💀 but I get your point
@@animae008In the past will be impossible.
This is so cool and weird at the same time. I love purple color to the bits, and I love William Henry Perkin for inventing synthetic purple color accidentally, so having sth purple is not that hard and expensive💜💫
Don’t worry folks, those snails will not go extinct any time soon. I have pet snails in my 4 fish tanks. I started off with 1, and within 2 months I had hundreds!
It's quite relaxing to watch this
May you come back as a snail used for dye 🐌
One thing is for sure. _Don't ever make people too hyped for this kind of product._ Keep the demand on control so that there would be no overfishing.
That why purple is royal color 😮
I also made my own paint using mud
This is how we make the ancient blue dye for the blue string on Jewish Tzitzit
Even though this is an ancient practice, using one of the rarest and most expensive colors on the planet, it's still cruelty to animals. One should also mention the negative sides to represent all aspects of this craft.
Who cares? It’s just snails
@@Goblinhandler Not only is it a kinda shitty thing to do, if this was more widespread they could render the species extinct which would hurt the biodiversity in the ecosystem.
@@RyoCanCan you must not know much about snails if you think a few thousand for dye is gonna make them go extinct
@@RyoCanCan wouldn't someone just start breeding them?
@@Goblinhandler okay Mr Snail expert, why don’t you stfu? Those were wild sea snails not even the same genus as land snails.
It’s interesting that the guts are used rather than the shells 🐚 Who woulda thought?
These are real artisans.
Did they ever dye cotton or silk or hemp or linen? Why wool, specifically??
Maybe it's most traditional? Idk
@@KayKay114 I can't wear wool, it's itchy. I'd have to wear anything else...
yall really arent gonna start with the sustainability discourse because these people have been doing this for centuries. tell that to other societies whose consumerist and capitalistic models are really wrecking the world. let ppl and their traditions be.
I agree but who said anything about that?
@@thomasschwab1727 idk i cant tell you cause it's been too long
Declan Lynch and Jordan Hennessy
👍👍
That doesn't seem sustainable
It is. It has been done like this as far back as recorded history. The mass production will always use cheaper synthetic dyes, so I don't think these snails will be going extinct any time soon.
Why don't you have more african content I just see like 2 videos in the whole CZcams page
Já comi muito
YIKES!
Are they killing 🐌 for purple man leave them 🐌 alone leave this one in the past maybe
they aren't exactly rare
@@tinkeringclaws5559 they will be if more people take this practice on...
@@shantellkluin2093 wouldnt people start cultivating them?
Bro you gotta kill all those snails for 1gram? No reason to do this anymore. Since we have synthetics now.
What an ignorant comment
RIP Snails smh lol
Fr man hahaha thought I was the only one thinking that lmfao
So you kill a bunch of snails 🐌 to get color purple when you can use food color
Yes exactly they just want colour.. doesn't matter where it cames from snales or humans 👎❌
@@shivanikamdi7159Tum papa ki pario ka kya kehna😂....Ever heard of Cultivation? Kaise hutiye log hote hai apne desh meh😂
But why? Killing tons of snails for a color ?
cry more
Why not?
Do you seriously think ancient ppl valued snails for anything other than their usefulness to humans? Either as food, or as in this case, some other purpose.
They barely valued human life back in the day. I can't imagine there were too many animal activists back when this was the only way to make purple.
If synthetic dyes hadn't been invented, those poor snails would've gone extinct.
people I these comment are weirdly obssed with snails I mean seriously who tf cares they are snails for gods sake
Seems wasteful.
😂😂😂😂 How wasteful
