apparently modern medieval scholars have no solid idea why thereâs so many old paintings of knights fighting snails. Â Like that wasnât just one weird painting thereâs hundreds of those. Â
the firste meyme
And my favorite one here
Iâm not saying humanity defeated an invasion of snail aliens in the Middle Ages but hold on wait thatâs EXACTLY what Iâm saying
snail aliens, or snaliens,
probably it was just funny so people kept doing it. which is basically what a meme is
the explanation Iâve heard is that most of the monks who did these illustrations would have kept small gardens where they grew all their own food and this was their way of venting about snails ruining their gardens
ok thats even funnier
Humanity warred with giant, carnivorous snails inhabiting Europe during the 4th-16th century. The great Snail War, or Snar.
