Is that bubonic plague I smell? Yummy!

It says 16th to 20th century tho :enigma:

 

Although the illness had the occasional individual infections after the 1300s in specific locations it was never a "plague" after that

I dunno if they happened enough and in enough locations to be a defining thing of those centuries... But if u were just kidding I guess it doesn't matter anyway :flop:

Didn't medieval people uses tersorium and/or pessoi after they took a dump, aside from rarely bathing, if at all?? I imagine people from that century would have smelled really bad, both BO and smell like @$$, I DON'T WANT IT!!  :bradley:

Whoever said it would be the smells of people?

Another example of how people don't read **** anymore and only go based on the title and moan and bitch about everything.

Like the article clearly indicated examples such as religious incense, cigars, and other common items during those time. And how that could bring a whole new dimension to museums and such. I find the idea quite riveting and it would be rather neat to be able to smell those and provide a whole new experience to learning about history.

Honestly people, reading is fundamental :awkney:
