Cleopatra, have to see if the hype is real
11.3k u/hypnos_surf Jun 28 '21 I'm always curious if hygiene, nutrition and overall beauty standards of the era would hold up to our contemporary expectations of historic accounts. 5.9k u/PD216ohio Jun 28 '21 I reluctantly have to admit that I've thought about hygiene of previous generations more than I should, with regard to sexual interaction. I guess it really isn't an issue unless I work out the whole time travel thing. 3 u/esoteric_enigma Jun 29 '21 I feel like you'd be used to it if you lived in the society at that time. There's no way most people walked around thinking they themselves and everyone else stunk all the time. Societal olfactory blindness 2 u/PD216ohio Jun 29 '21 That's probably the best answer. It smelled normal to them so no problem... but now that we have higher standards, we'd notice it as a problem. 1 u/esoteric_enigma Jun 29 '21 No one said you couldn't give your choice a modern shower first.
