Indian fashion from ancient to modern
Indian clothing has varied throughout history depending on region and culture. In ancient times, the Indus Valley civilization produced cotton textiles. During the Vedic period people wore a single cloth wrapped around the body. In later eras like the Mauryan and Gupta periods, dress was differentiated by gender and social class. Regional styles also developed among the Rajputs and during the Mughal empire when ornate fabrics became popular. Modern Indian fashion has been influenced by Bollywood and incorporates both traditional regional styles and western trends adapted to the local climate.
Fashion and clothing in ancient times
Ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, and Mesopotamians had distinct styles of clothing and personal adornment. Egyptians made linen clothing from harvested flax along the Nile. Greeks typically wore tunics and cloaks, while women styled their hair in braids or ponytails and sometimes lightened it with bleaching. Romans primarily wore tunics and togas, and men kept their hair short. Makeup was commonly worn by various ancient cultures, made from materials like kohl, berries, minerals and dyes.
Fashion in ancient civilizations
Ancient Greek fashion consisted of simple tunics for both men and women made from wool or linen. Women's dresses called peplos and chitons fell to the ankle while men's chitons went to the knee. Both genders wore decorative jewelry of precious gems and metals. Clothing in ancient Egypt was made from lightweight fabrics for the desert climate and included knee-length skirts for men and ankle-length dresses for women. Cosmetics like eye makeup were popular among Egyptians. In Mesopotamia, early Sumerians wore loincloths while later cultures had wrap-around skirts for men and shawls for women. Viking clothing featured wool tunics and cloaks held with bro
Fashion and clothing in ancient civilisations
The document discusses clothing, hairstyles, and makeup in several ancient civilizations including Egypt, Rome, Greece, Mesopotamia, and modern Canada. In ancient Egypt, most clothing was made from linen and people wore elaborate wigs. In ancient Rome, common clothing included tunics, togas, and silk for wealthy individuals. Ancient Greeks often wore little clothing and used pins and folding to create styles. Mesopotamians developed weaving and wore loincloths or dresses. Makeup and hairstyles varied between cultures and social classes. Modern Canadian clothing and hairstyles show more variety between individuals.
Greek Fashion
There were three main types of clothing worn in ancient Greece. The chiton was a tunic worn by both men and women. The himation was a cloak or outer garment often made from wool. The peplos was a tubular garment typically worn by women, folded from the inside and gathered at the waist. Clothing was loosely fitted and colors varied based on occasion or status. Makeup, jewelry, and hairstyles also played a role in Greek fashion and varied over time and between social classes.
Fashion in Ancient Greece and Rome
Fashion in ancient Greece and Rome featured simple, versatile clothing made from wool and linen.
In ancient Greece, men and women both commonly wore a basic tunic called a chiton. Women also wore a longer dress called a peplos. Clothing was often decorated with bright colors and patterns that symbolized different meanings. Hairstyles and jewelry indicated social status.
Similarly, in ancient Rome clothing like tunics and togas were made from wool or imported silk and cotton. Women typically wore a stola dress with a shawl-like palla.

You Are Not As Rational As You Think
As humans, we never fail to think that we are highly intelligent beings, and that we are mentally superior than any other creatures found on Earth.
Well, that...... may be true.
However, we can be equally stupid and dumb too.
Worse still, we don't even realize it - in terms of how we can make erroneous judgments, decisions and choices, based on how our mind processes and filters information, as well as how our belief system works.
As intriguing and exciting this topic is to me, I find it difficult to illustrate the concepts involve, and that took me nearly 6 months to complete this work. (The Planning Fallacy in play?!) Throughout writing this deck, I've made a total of 8 major revisions before coming to this final piece.

By 57 CE writing and political systems had not developed yet. The Kofun period was characterized by illiterate rulers, some of whom were female. Contact with Korea led to adopting Chinese characters for writing and an influx of foreign craftspeople, though alliances later crumbled. By 710 CE, Empress Koken was the last female ruler in Japan.
