liadethorneggeHow far away from the Victorian idealised view of medieval European chivalric tournaments can we go, and still remain a coherent society? How about the 16th century who were already doing re-enactment of the same thing? How about an Egyptian pharaoh? Or a Mayan from the 14th century? Or an inuit?
I do believe there is value of a cohesive story that explains the core of what we are. If we can be anything, then what's the story that binds us? Why not the 17th Century? Why not WWI?
Is that a slippery slope, or worth talking about?
