Today's Europe has nothing to do with medieval Europe, and modern elegant and clean Europe has nothing to do with the European who lived centuries ago who thought washing would cause physical and health harm. Europe's dirty history In those distant times, when most Europeans used to bathe only twice, ready to get married, or when they were sick, it wasn't just a matter of bathing, but extended to europe's long history. Decay began with urinating in the streets in public, and finally the streets of Europe became hotbeds for human and animal feces, and then the butchers came to the streets to slaughter livestock, so that blood and animal intestines mixed with human feces, from which you can imagine how dirty Europe was at that time.
All of this has become the root cause of all possible diseases, which in many cases have made Europe a breeding ground for deadly and dangerous epidemics that have killed millions of people, the main problem being hostility to water and an unusual fear of water. Bathing is also forbidden in the church except in certain circumstances. In fact, Europeans did not understand many aspects of civilization, except during the Crusades, they encountered other races, especially Muslims, such as the use of soap, which was a strange invention for Europeans at that time, while the European church regarded bathing as a sin, so the knights of the kingdom of Lyon destroyed it when they entered the Andalusian baths. Most historians have proven the fact that the smell of Europeans is unbearable. Envoys of the Russian Tsarist State described the smell of King Louis XIV of France as dirtier than the smell of wild animals, one of his concubines bathed in a basin of perfume so as not to smell his smell, and his daughter Isabella II swore she would not change her underwear, and she died because of her stupid decision. It's about kings, imagine what life was like for ordinary people when the plague broke out in Europe and killed nearly two-thirds of the population.
The largest european cities, such as Paris and London, have largest populations of 300,000 or 400,000 people, and cleaning of streets and public places in European cities is limited to the use of pigs, as they use pigs on the streets to devour human feces and food scraps, but they will ingest excrement and leave excrement on the street. That's why people waited for rain to drag what was left into the valleys and ravines, and Europe continued to be trapped for centuries in a world full of filth and disease, so much so that American Indians often put roses in their noses when encountering European invaders because of their unbearable smell. Even during the European Renaissance, many scientists were unable to explain the causes of many diseases such as plague and cholera. Many European scientists still believe that washing with hot water will weaken the body and expose it to disease, and scientific advice has spread, saying that cleaning is best done by drying and without adding water. Children should clean their faces with dry tissues, as water can make their faces susceptible to sunlight and cold winds. It wasn't until the end of the 19th century that Europe began to recover from this filth, when several European cities began using special means to isolate used water from drinking water.
In Britain, toilets became widely available, and Europeans began to pay attention to the importance of hygiene methods. With the discovery of vaccines against many epidemics, Europeans began to discover that water wasn't that bad and that a large number of diseases could be prevented by simple methods such as washing their hands before meals or after going to the toilet. That piece of soap became a friend of the Europeans, because it was one of the enemies of the disease. But despite this, until now, the fear of water was still widespread in Europe, especially in remote villages and regions, but over time, Europe changed from a dirty continent to a continent obsessed with cleanliness, and there were trash cans on every corner and on every street.
