I did not know that towels were only 160 years old. Im trying to imagine what people before that used? Did they sun dry? Perhaps people back then moved around much more so the air kicked the water off them. Maybe they just didn't care how wet they got and just had days were they stayed soaked to the bone.
I mean if u think about it the idea of a towel isn't a complicated thing. Im mean really, was wiping the wetness of too much for ancient people?
"O dear no! Its horrible George! Im terrible drenched!"
"Good god Bob! Your right! Your completely wet! Even your teeth are wet! How shameful!"
"I know George the shame is overwhelming. What can i do!?"
"I think killing your self is your only option."
"...................."
"Yes death is the only to cure your terrible, terrible shame. Here's a knife, get to it."
"Umm are you sure?"
"Yes Bob im quite sure. Do you need help? Ill be more then happy to assist you with your suicide."
"Well how about I just take this cloth I have here and wipe it off-"
"Don't be ridiculous Bob! What can a measly cloth do against such shame!
Death clearly is the only answer! Here, see the pointy end? Take it and start stabbing."
"Bu-Bu-But I don't want to! Can I just jump in place and shake it off? Or lay a bit in the sun and wait the shame away?"
"Nope."
"Darn."
...........I totally forgot what I was talking about. Meh whatever.
Before we had towels people used their armpit hair as portable mops
