This is fascinating, if you're obsessed with medieval toilets that is. They found a room with a toilet that still contained faeces & possible wiping material inside Turku Cathedral in Finland! blogs.aalto.fi/uponnut/2026... Thanks for the tip @vhautaka.milfmessenger.app !

Oh Kingdom Come Deliverance is also for sale at Steam! I consider this franchise among the best medieval themed games ever. And 6 euros is nothing, even if you're not a gamer, just go explore the world. My reviews: 1: fakehistoryhunter.net/2026/03/02/g... 2: fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/12/03/g...

I've turned my old review thread of Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 into an article, for easier reading. You can read it here; fakehistoryhunter.net/2026/03/02/g... or here; fakehistoryhunter.substack.com/p/game-revie...

Everybody: ... My brain: we should do a test with a special sophisticated sciencey odour spreading & analysing device so we can find out at which stink level someone in a castle garderobe would actually smell what was deposited meters below.

I bet it was nice to live in one of those years or even decades that future history books barely even bother writing about.

Mini review of the '1348 Ex Voto' demo that you can now download for free on Steam. We get to play a girl who is dressed like a knight who has to rescue her friend, although girls being knights would be uncommon and will trigger some game-boys, it didn't bother me.

This is called a Bollock Dagger, not sure why... or so I shall claim, because I'm a lady. They were quite popular during the Middle Ages. I did use to own a replica once, purely for cutting food, not at all for stabbing people with, no sir, honest, I promise your honour.

1930s subway signs trying to remind travellers to be considerate. The more things change, the more they stay the same! I prefer the term 'space hog' to manspreader, it's less gender specific. 1930s were woke ;)

Just for nostalgia sake, a nice photo from 2018 when we did have ice to skate on:

The ice skates that have been hanging by the door all winter can go back to the attic, unused, alas.

Watch a fun sort of retro vintage video of Pedro pascal dancing in a diner? Sure... hang on... oh dear... this was made by young people who have never seen a jukebox, wasn't it? How I know? Well... youtu.be/u1E9jsbCDTI?...

Massive Ubisoft sale on Steam, some great History titles, some awful ones, but all a lot cheaper. I've reviewed a couple here, Odyssey was amazing: fakehistoryhunter.net/2022/11/14/m...

For a second I thought my dog Beike had used the time machine again for mischief.

Happy birthday Gaston! Loved these cartoons by Franquin when I was a kid. This picture made an ever lasting impression on me. Gaston goes missing at the office, eventually his colleagues find him like this in the archives:

Excuse me while I time travel to Victorian times to beat up a writer, because this whole thing that historians have been repeating for over a century might actually have just been made up in the 19th century...

From the Archaeological Textiles Review 66. atnfriends.com/index.php/20... I know, I'm an old sentimental fool, but seeing that these 1000 year old child's mittens from Iceland were attached with a string made me a little emotional, my mittens were tied together when I was little.

Look at that delicious well. It's almost as medieval people valued easy access to water ;)

I should be in this film. I can be the human who annoys the ghosts by always asking questions about tiny details about daily life before they died. www.radiotimes.com/movies/ghost...

Unfortunately this is region bound but if you're in the UK (or have VPN), you can watch the film 'The Bounty' from 1984 for free on youtube, legally, officially, etc. It has Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day-Lewis in it. youtu.be/spW8AnrS9cI?...

I know, I'm weird, but if I see this I just want to send all the archaeologists and everyone within sight away so I can sit there and think about all the people who went up and down those steps for a while. www.facebook.com/lwlarchaeolo...

In 1941 many thousands of Dutch people protested against the Nazi occupation and the treatment of Jewish people. Of course the Nazis responded with violence, which made people hate them even more. We call it the Februaristaking, the February Strike: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Februar...

Every time someone mentions gaslighting I think of this:

Interview with Robert Eggers from 2016 about 'The vvitch', saying some very interesting things about historical accuracy, details, etc:

Turns out that Robert Eggers in his director's commentary of 'the vvitch' is actually complaining about historical inaccuracies! Too many candles, firewood too uniform, details, etc. I need to rewatch with commentary turned on & update my review here: fakehistoryhunter.net/2025/11/23/f...
