    Old world custom eye covers. Even in those days, style had a meaning

      I was wondering this same thing. Snow can be very reflective.

      Aren't they to protect against white-out conditions, which are more likely during a blizzard?

      ​@thatguy6225 it's to prevent snowblindness. When snow is falling it's usually cloudy. These are OG sun glasses

    Yes all my tools with doodles on them obviously have religious and ceremonial significance. Definitely not just an identification significance

    They didn’t just wear them because they thought they where cool like the way we do today, they wear them in blizzards and to stop them going snow blind

      Pretty sure there's no 800 year old eskimos looking for their lost goggles

    • @drexreflects
      @drexreflects Před měsícem

      Just to clarify, the individuals you're referring to are called Inuit, as titled in the Proto-Inuit description, not eskimos. If we're following your logic, other cultures should be allowed to take items belonging to George Washington since they're over 200 years old. Doesn't seem quite right, does?

      If you truly don't care, why waste your time commenting? This kind of nonchalant engagement is typical of people who pretend to be indifferent but secretly love the drama. Stay consistent; either care or scroll on by.
