Image looks like silk strand production

[edit]

The fine strands appear to be pulled from a container which may hold the cocoons of silk worms. The production line appears to have duplicated stations for the unwinding of the cocoons.


Image Source

[edit]

Does anyone have a reference for this image? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.103.59.7 (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You will not be able to find a legitimate source as the image is not authentic because this image was not created during the stated time period. It is an artist's conception of rope weaving instructions and what said instructions would look like during the days of Ancient Egypt. I say it's not authentic because of the characters depicted in the top main sequence (the full square-like shapes and various sides of square shapes) are not characters used by the Living People in the days of Ancient Egypt. Also, the artist was not aware of the meaning and symbolism of different positions of human legs. -Dirtclustit (talk) 18:32, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
