Wild Realities: Unsanitized History

Prepare for history lessons they didn't teach you in school. Ancient Egyptians used

moldy bread as antibiotics, thousands of years before penicillin. Mayans filed teeth

into sharp points, embedding jade for beauty and to attract gods. Romans cleaned clothes

with human urine, collected from public toilets and even taxed. Aztecs used cacao

beans as currency; only wealthy drank chocolate. Meanwhile, counterfeiters made fake

beans from clay. Vikings gave warriors mushrooms before battle, making them fearless and aggressive.

These are the wild, unsanitized realities our ancestors lived every single day.
