I am 63 years old, & haven't watch broadcast T.V. since 2005. Mostly because of the commercials. At my age, I still love being fascinated.
Cool story
That is so nice, Richard! Hope you find some good quality entertainment! Cheers from Brazil
Everyday is a new chance to learn something new! So exciting!!
Can’t believe you can use youtube
Nice.Not missing much 😂
Its amazing how we take for granted simply being able to flush a toilet
I live in a fully functional village, our house toilets work with lots of water. But sometimes, running water is stopped due to pipe repairs. I curse when this happens.
At least you have something I'm homeless
@@alembess9129 that’s so cool what country are you from
If we think about things like that all the time, we would go a little bit mad, don't you think?
@@amandaclute1433 aleast your balls don’t get crushed at ballcrasher factory like mine
Amazing how people thought of and implemented this stuff back then. No computers, modern calculators, internet. How much research went into it? How hard was it to convince your local government to actually do it? How long did it take from planning to full functionality?
It's pretty cool man
❤
I know I love history as well and have so many questions
I'm talking about modern scientific medicine not medical folklore and non scientific native practices that have not been scientifically validated - some might work most are purely imaginary - if you want me to give you a list of all the key scientific and medical inventions and discoveries that have led to modern scientifically validated scientific and medical discoveries I will give you a humongously long list that will take volumes. I'm talking about the 17th century Dutch man who discovered microbes under his microscope and then go and and on mentioning key Italians like Spallanazani, Redi, Morgangi and Fallopio and thousands of others right down to the present day also mentioning those who discovered antibiotics, the cure for syphilis, the cure for smallpox, the isolation of the bubonic plague virus, tuberculosis research. Absolutely everything!!! One laboratory at Cambridge University alone has received about 30 Nobel prizes including the discovery of DNA by Crick and Watson. And I haven't mentioned the pioneers of anatomy like Vesalius, Da Vinci and many others -you should visit the university of Padova in northern Italy and see the wonderful 16th century anatomy theater that taught so many doctors about the human anatomical system.
I suppose how tough it was to convince local government depended on how severe the suffering was due to whatever the particular thing was. When people get desperate, they’ll try anything.
Their minds were the same as ours. Put yourself there without the tech n whatnot, eventually you’d get the point and start getting creative.
thanks for leaving out filthy secrets out of the title this time. I was starting to feel dirty
😂I had my air pods in binge watching “filthy secret” videos all day he picked up my phone and was like you listen to erotica?
Your channel and Weird History are my 2 faves for these topics. Love the personal feel of showing your face, keep it up! Can’t wait to watch you grow like Weird History did! ❤
It honestly feels like this channel copied weird history, right down to the offhand jokes and video composition.
Dont.care if they copied. I love both as well.... it's hard 4 me 2 even listen 2 anything now w/o one of the 2 of their voices narrating.😂
The common man of today is fortunate to be more hygienic compared to the kings, queens, and nobilities then.
Could you make another video about hygiene and sanitation culture in Asia and the Americas or other places if possible?
I really like seeing your face. You have a nice one!
Ya. Feels more personal and makes me more interested in his words.
He’s a long time radio personality in my home town, I was thinking his voice sounded familiar…. Then when I saw him on screen I was like “That’s my guy!!”.
I like to remind myself, it's not the technology that is at the heart if innovation, its humans. We are so smart and what carried us this far in biology is the ability to adapt! So beautiful
Love your channel! Thank you for your creations. I've always been curious about this stuff, and you narrate the story so well!
This video was fantastic, I actually learned a lot and I'm a self proclaimed history buff haha fantastic
Thank you for your hard work on these interesting topics! I love learning historically accurate weird tidbits.
i adore your videos since i discovered you i didn't stop binging them !! we need more content like this
You are one of my favourite History channels on TH-cam. I wish you were around when I went through High School. I would have learnt a thing or two instead of learning about Australian history and the Industrial Revolution.
Have you ever wondered if the Queen of Latrines has ever had a crap day?! 🤔
Don’t know about the Queen of the Latrines... but I’m sure the Colonel of the Urinal got his dribbles in... out.
Very informative and fun to listen.
You have me cracking up like crazy with all these puns and deadpan jokes 😅
These AI generated thumbnails may be cheap to make, but most of the time they’re simply off putting or even alienating. Other than that, great video as always!
The hands . . . they're so awful.
I def agree. The images were unsettling, especially the number of fingers as the other commenter said.
i love this channel so much. The fact teacher's don't use TH-cam videos more as homework lessons is beyond me
That would actually make a great idea for them to do. Not only would they not have to look through a boring book, but they’d have pictures to entice their brain and it could embark on them to learn more. If this was how we were taught growing up, we’d probably all be scholars.
And also, they couldn’t complain that they didn’t have TH-cam or any way of getting access because they all have their own phones.
This is the first time I see the man behind that awesome voice. It's been a while since I watched a video of Nutty History. Great vid as always👍
Oh I love seeing your (new??) feature of showing part of your narration! It's great to see your face! Thanks for all the great videos.
I just can't figure out how anybody ever discovered that animal fat turned to soap will clean their body. Like it's just random who came up with that
It likely started with ash, the other ingredient in primitive soap. It was used on its own for a variety of cleaning uses until very recently in the Western world, and still used in other locations.
Imagine the end of a meal. You have whatever you cooked in, likely a skin in a hole, or primitive bowls made if clay, rock, or wood. You know that sitting food brings rot, and sickness. You use some ash from the fire to scrub it.
Like many people today, you're busy. You stop your cleaning to do something else for a bit. Then, you come back, and continue. Amazing, it cleans much better! Even your hands are cleaner.
You're a smart human. You realize that it was combining fat and ashes that did this. So, you pass on that knowledge. Others in further generations experiment, some results better than others.
Then, one day: Soap! 🧼
Have you ever had a open wound or dropped your steak on the ground. That's how you find out how dirt sticks to fat
I love this channel.. I’m full of random facts now 😂
Excellent show as always!!! Made my German Shepherd watch this twice so he’ll stop running through swamps haha!!!
Have been watching your channels for years and this is the first Ive seen the face behind the narration. Like it!
Great video! Just one thing: it has been proved by Scientists from IIT-Kharagpur and Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) who have uncovered evidence that the Indus Valley Civilization is at least 8,000 years old, and not 5,500 years old, older than the Egyptian (7000BC to 3000BC) and Mesopotamian (6500BC to 3100BC) civilizations.
OMG I LOVE SEEING YOUR FACE!!! Please keep this Format up!! You are AWESOME!!
So glad I was born in the 20th century😅
or be thankful for people like that of the Hindus and the Americas for teaching the world about clean waters benefits : P
Bora Bora boasts the nickname the “Romantic Island,” a moniker easy to appreciate with its isolated beaches, intimate hotels, and quiet atmosphere.
How did you skip the moors? Or the Himba Tribe? Nigeria?
It's always a shock when youtubers include any part of Africa apart from Egypt in their videos. I give up. Like they just assume we don't exist or did nothing worthy of note. In most of the Sahel, they used incense as in they burnt sweet smelling substances and used it to perfume their skin like the Hausa of Niger and Nigeria, Sudan as well. Olaudah Equiano in his book also described a type of perfume used by the Igbo people. In West and Central Africa, they created black soap from oil (shea, palm etc) and ash(palm, plantain etc) The Himba though they didn't bathe often(due to environmental conditions) They did ensure they smelt nice and their skin was protected.
Oral hygiene was also a big deal. Africans used and still use till this day chewing sticks to keep their teeth clean and their gums healthy. In East Africa, charcoal was used to clean teeth and it also made it whiter.
@Chimeremnma Ozioko faaaaacts!!!! It's so irritating. Every human on earth are from the first people of South Africa. To ignore the advancements and achievements of people south of the Sahara is lazy and racist
Absolutely no mention of South or Central American cultures. Or Mexican culture. These people had sophisticated hydraulic systems,some that are still functioning!
Exactly! It is known that the people in the Americas were very hygienic people.
This whole video is biased asf
I was about to say the same. They speak about human hygiene evolution but focus the same people, Europe and Egypt. They never look south of the equator. African empires existed and I'd like to know more.
I was going to ask the exact same thing
Sumerians and Mesopotamians were adjacent the Kemetic peoples. The images here would make you think that wasn't true.
I know your voice anywhere. I’ve been listening to you on the radio since I was a kid.
One thing I like is the acknowledgement that black people taught whites how to wash and keep themselves clean..
Love the fact that they now post a video of the narrator. Glad to match the voice with the man!
Just found your channel. Had the misfortune and bad timing to just sit down with dinner when your program "what hygiene was like throughout history" came on. I have often thought how badly people must've smelled in frontier days when they took only a few baths a year. But this video shows how incredibly disgusting, and really stupid people were throwing excrement out their windows. Really? Even a cat has the innate knowledge to bury their poo! I always knew cats were smarter than people! And who would want intimacy with each other with urine breath and poo butts? 😮It's a miracle the human race didnt just die out. By the way, my appetite is gone and dinner doesn't look so good anymore. On the plus side, I can watch these videos when I want to lose a few pounds. 😅
If no one is truly hygienic then no one would notice a “smell”. If something is a norm, no one is really disgusted. Even when it was caveman era, they probably never ever bathed. Dirty people can still have sex.
Haha I sat down for lunch too, and i was eating chili lol
You do not have to take a bath to have a wash. It was hard work to fill a bath but very easy to wash with a bowl or bucket of water. So just because a bath was a rare treat didn't mean no washing. They also wore linen which will stay fresh smelling for days, and changed it frequently. If you were to try it yourself, you'd just wash you underarms, butt and feet (the smellies) and face and neck daily and without a bath for a week while wearing fresh clothing daily you'd be fresh as a daisy. This is what they did. They washed but did not bath as we know it. They considered it anti social to be smelly back then too. This is historically documented but ignored when modern people make modern assumptions.
Damn, this vid makes San Francisco positively exotic!
it still amazes me to know that many modern, rich, first-world countries don't use bidets. it is the best thing that has ever been created 😂
Just an FYI, in the US armed forces, they commonly refer to restrooms as "Latrines".
Or head
“There’s no back dooring this opportunity.”
💩 puns crack me up.
My man could read the "Truth and Lending Clause" in a financial contract and it would sound AWESOME..
When i was 8 years old (1995) i accidentally drank a soda that my uncle had flicked his cigarette ashes in. I ran into the bathroom to spit it out and brush my teeth and my great-grandma came in and said "Oh, relax, we used to brush our teeth with ashes." I was shocked lol
Im not a big fan of history (or so I thought) but this was fascinating! I watched the entire video and wished there was more to it lol.
I love history it helps me with my confidence because I know im good at it and I love this channel because it’s not a bunch oh crap fake facts they take there time
This is close to the top of the many reasons I'm glad I live now instead of the past!
WOW i love learning new things. This is a great video 👍
I do have criticism of the medieval baths section. The church was against bathing houses because they were used as brothels. The church had separate male and female bath houses.
I live near Bath in the uk, the Roman baths are a great day out, they recently cleaned it all out.. was cool to see them empty
Great voice over voice!
Great video
Toilet paper was being used in the 6th century in China and mass produced there from the 14th century. It would be interesting to see a video on the hygiene history of the eastern world
15:40 So called “Medieval” times, ..in what we falsely call today the Byzantine Empire, was actually the Roman Empire, …culture and technology was way more advanced than anywhere else in the world, let alone Western and Northern Europe. They have running water and toilets in homes, a sewer system. They also had amazing courtyard fountains.
Not true. The Byzantine was a shadow of the glory of the Roman Empire. Just look at the artwork. It’s crude and lacks human proportions
@@fjuvo What are you talking about? What artwork? Their statues had human proportions. You are talking about religious iconography?…. They were created in a very specific way. The glittering golden mosaics where especially amazing. Lots of the artwork was stolen and is Venice today and everyone marvels at it.
The superior man on grounds of culture meets with his friends，and by friendship helps his virtue.
Great video!!! 🫶🏼
beautiful documentary congrats❤❤
Thank you for your knowledge ❤
No "backdooring" this opportunity... lmao
I wonder how people could tolerate the stanch everywhere and people smelling like shit. Makes me nauseous just to imagine it.
They were probably just so used to it that it just didn’t matter.
Watching from Greece.hi everybody.
Interesting video.
Great video, and even great narration voice! Was the art done using AI? I see some strange looking human faces or blobs. Not an issue if it were, I just think it's interesting. Sure the art isn't perfect, but it paints a interesting picture seeing the concept of some things.
funny & amazing stuff … would love to know more outside of Europe after Antiquity
I love this channel
It's sad that a 20 minutes video didn't mention a single bit of 1400 years of Muslim history
Exactly
Love Nutty History! You have to give credit to our ancestors they tried!!!
Scary to think we could be in the same state of mind, throwing our toxic wastes out because we dont know how to build a pipe yet... what if we could create an offshoot thru the atmosphere that gets rid of unwanted gases?
This feels like what the us history channel always tried to be but executed better
I wonder if people used witch hazel- based liquid as a form of soap or waterless skin cleanser.
Amazing that you forgot the roman empire with their running water.
I'd be very suprized if the history channel hasn't contacted you about doing narration.
16:00 🗣️watch out, incoming s###
If ur not first ur last!.... RICKY BOBBY'S DAD
Wait, just because you found ancient soap-like residue, does not mean it was used the same way we do now. What did the soap container say?
Nice to see the face behind the voice
I like this narrator. Great video.
can you do a show on the pioneers and their everyday life and struggles
Bro, i can't accept that Romans used the communal sponge. Imo most Romans had a personal sponge but a shared one was also provided for those who did not possess one.
great video.
One would have thought that the Roman custom of communal bathing - often in huge and ornate complexes -would have been of benefit to the hygiene and disease fighting efforts of the Romans -but recently I heard they did exactly the opposite as the water was not chlorinated and not changed so that pathogens thrived and spread -they were like gigantic Petrie dishes especially if you had sores and open wounds.
european hygiene is a oxymoron : P
@@krono5el Don't forget however that all the major breakthroughs in hygiene and the germ theory of disease came from Europe with people like Pasteur and that Hungarian chap who realized the importance of cleanliness and handwashing in the hospital context -the contribution of other cultures in this regard is absolutely minimal as to be almost non existent.
@@kaloarepo288 guessing thats prob after europe met the Natives of the Americas who prioritized clean water for everything including medical procedures. Natives prob influenced europeans hygiene especially if you take into account their prior history before living among natives for a few hundred years. Also think a big portion of medicines today derive from things native to the Americas that existed and used pre columbus.
@@krono5el so true, I feel this is the reason so many died from disease after contact with them.
First and first like😂🎉
Not quite.
Nooo
Great job!😅
Nicely worded. I couldn’t handle the cognitive dissonance that comes with being a dark skinned blk girl who (both) loves my skin yet appreciates Korean culture & is a fan of many idols- it was just too much, 😭so I literally quit being a hardcore fan years ago and all my friends are still hardcore but now I’m just a casual second Gen girly who only keeps up with EXO lololol.
i have a straight blade and LOVE it and wont go back to the expensive multiblade thing
I keep skipping videos until I come across a voice like yours.
Your Voice is really nice you could go the big TV guys with this voice.. LOL
People all over the world and throughout history,were filthy. Compared to today,and how many times a day we all shower or bathe now.
Even when my mom and dad grew up in the 40’s and 50’s,people didn’t shower,and wash their hair everyday.
You washed up daily in the sink,and usually a Friday or Saturday night you took a full bath or shower. Women also washed their hair then,and after, rolled their hair up in curlers. When dry,you teased it,styled it,and sprayed it with a can of hairspray,and you were set for the week. You wore a hairnet at night to preserve your style.
Americans seem to be obsessed with ridding themselves of body odor. God forbid we smell different from our soap or body wash.
But what we all are truly wondering is.... Who was the first person EVER to realize they were funky and decided I'm taking a bath today.🤔
Henry VIII had to get a nobleman to do the medieval reach around! Lol.
Btw, while Versailles was filthy, Louis XIV’s engineers built a huge flowing aqueduct, which was a unique engineering feat, no telling how many miles long to bring fresh water for the many fountains, pools, baths, and for cooking. There’s a lot of misinformation about the cleanliness Versailles. Of course it would be revolting by today’s standards, and hardly sanitary, but Versailles was home and court of the King of France. It would have had the best available unlike anything else in the entire world. It’s still a marvel to this very day.
Too many take the word of Saint Simon as gospel truth when it comes to describing cleanliness at Versailles, all while forgetting he had a bone to pick. Louis XIV loved his baths.
I was thinking of Geralt just as you said it 😂 have we become so predictable?
Perhaps a more suitable title would have been “plumbing and drainage systems through history”
Just discovered your channel - excellent content! Thank you. My god how filthy the past was.... I live in Thailand and have to shower at these three to five times a day!
3 to 5?!
The luck of having talents is not enough, one must also have a talent for luck..
Took a long time to get shit under control
I now have a face to this great voice 🎉
No mention of the MOORs Is Crazy
U might wanna add that when everyone was sooooo filthy lol the Islamic caliphates in Arab had perfect plumbing systems
Indeed! The bias is very strong here, should've named the video otherwise, since he mentioned mostly Europe and Egypt
The ai pictures are creepy af 😬
But they get the job done pretty well imo
Cute cat btw mine looks same just a tone lighter in color
I said it before and I'll say it again, I don't understand how humanity was willing to preproduce during those time periods.
I didn't realize this was geared toward children until I heard him say, "Ewe, gross!".😂
Let me say as a fan of Nutty History I enjoy the presentation always, but always disappointed, you guys act as if other parts of Africa do not exist, beyond Egypt Egypt and more Egypt,and yes hygiene was a thing in a lot of African civilizations not sitting next to the Mediterranean, I hope you guys team do better eg.
The baths and toilets of Gedi (Inset),shanga and cities of medieval swahili (1000-1500AD) -Kenya, Tz
A common feature of a swahili house, the bath and toilet were built in coral stone, with a raised platform and niches for water pots for the bath and a square platform with niches built over a cesspit 4-8m deep and an adjacent washbasin for cleaning
Found at Shanga (virtually all 54 houses Horton excavated),kilwa, kisimani mafia, takwa etc
Read under the Chapter: "swahili houses" by Thomas Gensheimer in "The swahili world" by Stephanie wynne-jonnes
Read starting with Pg 58 of
Shanga: The Archaeology of a Muslim Trading Community on the Coast of East Africa
Mark Chatwin Horton, Helen W. Brown, Nina Mudida
Makuria, alodia
christian nubia toilets and baths (550-1350AD)
Often located on top floor with paved, heated floors, decorated walls supplied with hot piped water
fired clay seats with drain basin for flush water discharging.
Toilets of Kumasi and asante empire cities (18th-19th century)
Often found on top floor (elites) and outdoor (commoners They were separate rooms built with fired clay and wood, flushed with boiling water; discharging sewage
Toilet room's windows ( top right corner of house) Sewage through a pipe at the back of the house into a deep pit underground
The above house is Thomas Bowditch's illustration
The two windows on the top right are for the toilet room, he was in kumasi in the early 19th cent.
Here's a snippet of his description of kumasi toilets)
It is too bad TH-cam do not allow links, but for more information type in Issac Samuel A thread on medieval and early modern African lavatories/baths/latrines
And yes they had toothpaste and tooth brushes.
They didn't mention a single bit about the Muslim empire, which probably was the most hygienic place at the time
I love you videos and not really understanding why your sub numbers don't reflect the amazing effort you put into them.
All advanced civilisations , folks use the three shell method to clean their bottoms after number twos.
So blessed to be born at this age
