Okay but this is actually one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen. The cloth alone would have taken months to make! That’s not even counting the embroidery, the dye, the gold, all the extra details sewn into the fabric.

This thing is huge and so detailed that it would have taken years to finish. It would have been worked on by dozens of people.

And this really is incredibly well preserved, the tent made primarily of fabric and dye, two things that are very, very, easy to destroy. The fact that, after multiple centuries it still looks this good is a wonder!!
