Ah, the sweet smell of raw history. :laughing7:


Archeologists excavating the Medieval town of Odense in Denmark recently uncovered some barrels of old poop. Estimated to be about 700 years old, the buried latrines are said to have kept their contents in "excellent condition."


Apparently, they smell just awful.

Who would have thought 700 years later….

I'm sure it never entered their minds as they sat there...............

But - on the bright side - at least a worthy job for the archaeologists.
