FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Researching the items and carbon dating them to make sure they were genuine
took some time. She delivered a lecture on them last year but the
information stayed within academic circles until a recent article in the BBC
History Magazine.
“We didn’t believe it ourselves,” she said in a telephone call from
the Tyrolean city of Innsbruck. “From what we knew, there was no such
thing as bra-like garments in the 15th century.”
The university said the four bras were among more than 2,700 textile fragments
– some linen, others linen combined with cotton – that were found intermixed
with dirt, wood, straw and pieces of leather.
“Four linen textiles resemble modern-time bras” with distinct cups
and one in particular looks like today’s version, it said, with “two
broad shoulder straps and a possible back strap, not preserved but indicated
by partially torn edges of the cups onto which it was attached.”
And the lingerie was not only functional.
The bras were intricately decorated with lace and other ornamentation, the
statement said, suggesting they were also meant to please a suitor.
While paintings of the era show outerwear, they do not reveal what women wore
beneath. Davidson, the fashion curator, described the finds as “kind of
a missing link” in the history of women’s underwear.
Women started experimenting with bra-like garments in the late 1800s and the
first modern brassiere was patented in the early 19th century. It is thought
to have been invented by New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob, who was
unhappy with the look of her gown over a stiff corset.
Also found at Lemberg Castle in Tyrol was a linen undergarment that looks very
much like a pair of panties. But Nutz said it is men’s underwear – women did
not wear anything under their flowing skirts back then.
“Underpants were considered a symbol of male dominance and power,”
she said.
Medieval drawings often show a man and a woman fighting for a pair of
underpants in a symbolic battle to see who “wears the trousers” in
the family.
