Since it's apparently #WorldToiletDay: Contrary to popular myth, the palace of Versailles did have toilets and bathrooms. At the time, bathrooms were luxury rooms dedicated to bathing, while toilet facilities were kept in separate spaces. (contd)

The Elviña hillfort (A Coruña, #Galicia) was the possible capital of the Artabri, one of the most quoted people of Western Iberia in the classical sources. Astoninshingly, most of the buildings unearthed were not domestic, but public or sacred ones. #hillfortswednesday

So this isn't true. Medieval Europeans did bathe and wash themselves fairly regularly. Was it as frequent as it is for modern people? No. There wasn't the infrastructure for that. But, there were a lot of public bathouses, and we have many depictions of Europeans bathing. 1/3

Is there anything more pathetic as someone being proven wrong and made to look foolish but acting so childish & rude, being a troll, so gets blocked and then goes around being annoying in your discussions with other people? It's like dealing with a teenage stalker.
