Cave Norwegian now officially confused. I was of the impression that what most textile historians refer to as "horizontal looms" (as in the type of looms that appears in europe in the 11th or 12th centuries and seems to have been known in the far east before that) is more spesifically foot-operated treadle floor looms?
Like this joker here:

Are there really anyone who thinks that people couldn't string a horizontal loom in the ancient world? Like EG points out, that's been known since ancient egypt...
