The analysis will (and should be) argued about by historians and archeologists.
However, that last reference is, to put it mildly, a steaming pile of bullshit.
The author of the piece paraphrases the original article horribly, making statements that "it says" that simply aren't even implied in the original article.
Then ends by listing a bunch of tweets as "how scholarship should be done." Um, no, scholarship is done in peer-reviewed articles, not on twitter.
That article adds nothing useful whatsoever to any scholarly debate on what these textiles say, or what they mean. It's a dishonest, juvenile hit piece.
