Thinking abt him again.
Horsehair tassel ornament from a late bronze age hoard in Co. Antrim, Ireland. Woven with unplied single stands of horsehair in a broken twill. Most likely from 800 BCE. A stunningly complex item to be the first textile in the Irish archeological record larger than about 2 inches.

Analysis and reconstruction of a warp-weighted loom from the second millennium BC site of Cabezo Redondo, Spain, provides an unprecedented g
"Now, researchers have discovered charred timbers and plant fiber ropes in association with clay loom weights at the Bronze Age settlement of Cabezo Redondo in southern Spain, leading them to conclude that they are the remains of a warp-weighted loom. ""One of the best-preserved examples of a Bronze Age warp-weighted loom in the western Mediterranean, it provides a rare opportunity to deepen our understanding of textile production in Bronze Age Iberia.

Whispers from the Loom: 5,000-Year-Old Fabric Uncovered in Bulgarian Cave
Some stories from our deepest past are not written in stone but are instead woven in thread. These accounts of daily life, skill, and innovation are infinitely more fragile, whispered on fibers that rarely survive the passage of a few centuries, let alone millennia. In the silent, dark corners of the earth, where conditions are just right, these whispers can be preserved, waiting for the right…

Hi! Thank you for answering asks! I was wondering if you could speak to how you decided to write Kleopatra as a master weaver, and whether her math skills had anything to do with that? I appreciated so much that you included so much about fiber and fabric production in the books.
You're welcome!
And yes, absolutely, I connected her ability with numbers to her ability to weave exceptionally well, as counting (and recognizing patterns) is crucial to weaving.
I think of Kleopatra as being so good that she can see the patterns in her head. Speaking as a beader, not a weaver, that ability to visualize what a pattern may look like matters. Now, I am not a numbers person, but I've got the spacial awareness part of geometry. :-) With beading, particularly for simpler things, I don't need a pattern at all. I just "wing it." Ha. But that comes from doing a lot of it, too.
If anybody cares, btw, I think of Hephaistion as leaning to the algebraic side of math, and Kleopatra to geometry. :-)
Btw, if you're not already aware of it, there's a great little book called Women's Work by E. W. Barber. It's thirty years old now (1996); I read it in grad school. But you might enjoy it.

"This discovery has major implications, as it could mean that many of the objects found in Tomb II actually belonged to Alexander the Great, rather than to Philip II, as was traditionally believed."
A recent discovery in Tomb II at Vergina, Macedonia, Greece, has revealed what appears to be the sacred “chiton” or tunic of Alexander the G
