Hennin
Deleted the nonsense claim that the hennin was inspired by mongol headwear since the mongol empire had long collapsed by the time the hennin became fashionable in Europe and pointy hats have existed in Europe since prehistoric times plus the mongol headwear look nothing like the hennin exept for being a tall hatTags: Visual editMobile editMobile web edit

Football
Cuju doesn't resemble modern association football at all.

History of water supply and sanitation
The article is full of uninformed anti-medieval taboos and middle age europe didn't neglect water sanitation in comparison to Rome, underground water conduits throught the use of siphons were build to provide clean water to cities from manantials, replacing the use of costly acqueducts (The Technology of Medieval Water Management at the Charterhouse of Bourgfontaine, SHEILA BONDE y CLARK MAINES)Tags: Visual editMobile editMobile web edit

Frog (fastening)
I eliminated the links to european frog clousures bc they're not actually Chinese in origin:all historical Chinese pankou used thin cording or wires covered by a smooth fabric, not textured braids and their patterns are densely stitched/knotted together instead of the loose, dramatic shape frog closures have. European frogs are made in Soutache embroidery which already appears in the 1556 German textile pattern book "New Modelbüch allen Nägerin u. Sydenstickern" & were popularized by hungarianscurrentTag: Undo

Caravel
→History: Changed the origin of the caravel since its origin is nebulous and subject to debate, & historians have given many possible origins as the source I cited clearly shows. Replying to ThoughtIdRetired, footnote 5 just mentions 2 authors that stated the arab origins but the author doesn't conclude the same anywhere in his article, instead it also mentions the possible greek & galician origins of the caravel which ThoughtIdRetired forgets in his changesTag: Visual edit

Iberian ship development, 1400–1600
Changed the origins of the caravel which in its previous version stated they orignated from north african fishing ships but the historical references and conclusions of maritime historians clearly show, there is no single definition for the predecessor of the caravel. This is because the development of the caravel was too long and too gradual for it to actually represent a single ship classificationcurrentTag: Visual edit
