- 09:5009:50, 11 May 2024 diff hist −2,802 Goldwork (embroidery) Changed the wrong claim that goldwork originated in China and slread from there since there is ancient evidence of the use of gold in embroided textiles from all around the world dating back to the bronze age so it didn't start in one single place and the claims confuse golden silk which was indeed invented in China with golden embroidery in general which uses other materials aside from silk Tag: Visual edit

Replying to ThoughtIdRetired, footnote 5 just mentions 2 authors that stated the arab origins but the author doesn't conclude the same anywhere in his article, instead it also mentions the possible greek & galician origins of the caravel which ThoughtIdRetired forgets in his changes Tag: Visual edit

This is because the development of the caravel was too long and too gradual for it to actually represent a single ship classification Tag: Visual edit
