I hunt fake history and correct it, but also post amazing real history stuff. Rude, obscene, vulgar, racist people who can't act like grown-ups get blocked.

More sad news. Richard O'Sullivan has died. A man with a long acting career, but to me he'll always be Dick Turpin. I loved that show so much, scenes I saw as a little girl are baked into my memory and the opening credits still give me goosebumps. RIP.

I should review the 1944 version of Henry V, it's excellent. Just look at this scene for instance, plenty that's a bit iffy, but there are COLOURS, no blue filter and it's exciting! And it makes your heart beat faster, makes me want to shout and fight.

Just so you know, if you see this guy in a video, the odds are high that you're about to be told something iffy. Dr. Roy Casagranda is all over social media but his research abilities leave a little to be desired. In short: street sewers were mostly for rain & other liquids, generally not serious icky waste. They generally didn't throw their human waste out of the windows. They made sure to keep their wells and water sources as free from pollution as they could. Cholera wasn't a huge problem in Europe till the 19th century. They drank lots of water, drank beer because it's more nutritious, tastier & more fun. The alcohol level was very very low, so they weren't drunk all the time. Medieval people washed, bathed, used soap, did laundry and tried to smell nice because they were terrified of bad smells. They wore linen under their woollen clothing so they weren't always itching, also some wool was quite fine and smooth.

One of the most historically accurate film depictions of the death of Caesar ;) From 'Carry On Cleo', 1964.

Did you know this is nonsense? Christians didn't consider bathing as a sin. Medieval Europeans washed daily, bathed weekly or more, loved bathhouses, loved swimming and were literally terrified of bad smells. Most diseases were not spread because of bad hygiene, most diseases did not originate in Europe. Queen Elizabeth I bathed plenty, she was washed daily, had bathrooms in all her palaces & even owned a travel bath for when she was on the road. Europeans knew about hygiene LONG before they ever met Indians, native Americans or started colonising in the modern era.

Brilliant. And better looking than quite a few big budget Viking films ;)

This is Michael Pollan, professor at Harvard University & Knight Professor of Science & Environmental Journalism at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism. Impressive. Here he is talking to Joe Rogan, podcaster & professional gullible person. Professor Pollan is wrong. 🧵
