  That fanfic ending of the Bayeux Tapestry in Reading is an obvious Victorian fabrication. The original depicts the c-base space station crashing on earth. It can be viewed in Berlin:

  As an aside, I see that this blog has been around from early 2000s, and has been regularly updated, almost every day. Quite fascinating...

  I saw this. It was done by Victorian embroiderers, and was amazing, but the part I remember is one of the incidental characters. In the original, he was quite conspicuously nude; in the reproduction he was given a pair of shorts.

    Yup, the article has images behind hyperlinks if you want to see him naked. Just Ctrl+f: "the original design with everything hanging out. "

  What's up with the internet's sudden obsession with the Bayeux Tapestry? I've seen so many posts lately here and on reddit and other places.

    it was recently moved.

    it was a tremendously technical and expensive feat.

  Someone should do a graphic novel version of the Bayeux tapestry based heavily on the original.
