I chose this main topic because I find it intriguing how those in the past were able to come up with ways to groom and keep themselves looking nice and presentable in ancient times and in many different cultures. A lot of the bath accessories that many people use every day have been used by many during ancient times despite some of them looking a little different from the ones we use today. I think that sometimes, it can be easy to feel disconnected when it comes to talking about people in ancient cultures. Just looking at the tools that they used for their self-grooming routines and comparing them with ours in our present lives is a very interesting and connecting moment. I feel as though it shows how humans can still be able to relate to each other through these simple tools that were used back then and are still used even now, for the same reasons and intentions.
