      Architecture is easy. Plumbing is hard. Seriously, services like clean water and sanitation require sources of constant power to move water uphill from rivers and lakes into homes and cities. That really didn’t exist until steam power in the 19th century, and electricity in the 20th.

    Curfews were began to reduce the risks of fire in cities, not provide security from crime. The word comes from the French couvre-feu, or “cover fire”. At curfew, all were required to cover their fires, by banking or other methods, to prevent sparks escaping and starting fires. Most European cities were built largely of wood and fires could destroy many stone buildings, too, as there was plenty of wood and other flammables in their construction, including inner walls or paneling, floors, ceilings and roofs, as well as their contents, of course.

      Though having listened to this properly now, he didn't say that this is where the notion of a curfew originated, just that curfews were sometimes used for this purpose. Which I guess is no less true than saying that more recently, curfews were implemented to prevent the spread of covid in some places, etc. So I guess you're both right!

    • @saragrant9749
      @saragrant9749 Год назад +17

      Medicine went from sorcery and alchemy to science in the late 180’0s- not during the Middle Ages though. The miasma theory, blood letting, belief in humoral balance, etc. didn’t go away until well into the time of Queen Victoria. It was actually during the last of the major cholera outbreaks that someone put the link between dirty water and the disease together- thus beginning a more modern understanding of disease. Bacteria was discovered in the 1880’s, and the move towards modern medicine began.

      It wasn't really considered 'sorcery' though. Alchemists were Christian's and while a lot of their theories were related to the law of nature, the belief was that nature was created by a Christian god. Sunflowers, for example, were called such because the flowers were orange-like the sun and followed the sun across the sky. They didn't understand photosynthesis at the time, but saw the relationship between flower and solar energy. Alchemists were trying to understand the myseries of the divine (God) which was, to their understanding, revealing itself in the natural world

    They didn’t make and ship clothing, those lowland cities spun, often dyed, and wove and shipped bolts of cloth made from English wool. It was always locally made into clothing at its destination, in Europe, or farther (some wool was used for a few non-clothing applications, as well, like cushioning, but mostly local materials like straw were used, good, imported wool cloth was expensive). Pre-made clothing is a modern thing, not a medieval one.

      That is interesting and admirable. I believe you! My grandfather, who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a boy, grew up in a poor NYC tenement in the 1920s. I remember he once told me a story about how a family of German immigrants washed the steps to their building with soap and water. The point of his story was that no matter how poor many immigrants were, they still had pride (the good kind). This is a contrast to what goes on in the American inner-city today.

Offal, smoke, body odor, halitosis, vomit, no sanitation, death and disease everywhere, the stench would make us sick immediately. It makes me gag to think about.

    Medieval cities got a bad repuation in the history books.
    Of course, they were dirty but at least city populations were much smaller than in modern times.
    London, in 1858, had almost 3 million inhabitants and that was when the Big Stink occurred.
    As during the Middle Ages, the Thames was used as an open sewer but with this many people, it became such a crisis that it led to the construction of the first modern sewers.

      The major cities like Rome and London would be able to do that, which is why they were so large. But by far most medieval cities were not larger than a big village today.
      Just look at the historical centers of old cities. In some cases you may still see and old city gate or remnants of a moat, sometimes they built a road in that place but you can tell because the buildings don't look nearly as old beyond that zone.

    I saw a documentary on "Modern History TV" about the urine and excrements. Urine was saved and collected to use in tanning leather among other things. Solid waste was also collected and disposed of in pits outside the city. There were special people who did this. The areas/streets where they performed their trade was often named after these kinds of refuse. It is said that there was also a "shit street". I urge you to watch that channel. Very informative and interesting. I think it's on Utube.

    You are living in the most happy era . Thanks to scientist and advancement in medical sciences you are free of endemic diseases like polio , plague , cholera etc which wipped off huge population s . In general there is peace and not many wars that used to kill a lot of people . Again due to advancement in agriculture and irrigation there is sufficient food available and people are now not dying due to famines and starvation . This was the scenario in middle ages which you are now free off .
