This is such a fascinating rabbit hole. Never thought about how much history you can read just from someone's work shirt. Makes me wonder what future archaeologists will think when they dig up our polyester blend uniforms

They might think we wandered around naked 😁 I had to do a Google search, but apparently after about 200 years polyester normally biodegrades. Natural fibres tend to dry out and survive better, strangely enough.
Because we tend to incinerate our dead people or bury them in ways that the grave plot can be reused after 50-100 years, instead of properly mummifying them, and we don't tend to surround them with all the grave goods our ancestors did, future archaeologists aren't going to have much to go on....

😂😂😂 wait that kinda makes me wonder if perhaps the people we also thought we naked in the past we actually not naked 😂🤔
