Reply to comment by Bothered_Withersby in How do countries that lack long, ancient histories and myths (or feel they lack it), or have lost all records of them, compensate for this loss or absence? Can these invented ancient myths become as "legitimate" as the truly old histories/myths of countries that have them? by raori921
In Nazi myth it was literally Atlantis that the "Aryan" race had come from.
"We don't have had old stuff as it all sank..."
Yes they where really embarrassed by germanys lack of old stuff.

We can do price comparisons of how many hours/ days skilled labour an armour costs.
In 1540 a plain Greenwich armour cost 160 days' wages, but a princely garniture might cost twenty times that.

The old Carolingian monetary system of 1:20:240 and 1 being a pound mass of silver was the base for most of europes coinage.
The conversions where based on getting back to that pound of silver an so effected by purity an weight of the two coins.
