Oof, watching this video made my jaw hurt... What's the craziest superstition or story around dental hygiene that you've heard of? (I'm a big fan of George Washington's insane variety of fake chompers personally) Edit: Whoa, y'all really like the gross stuff huh? That's awesome, but we want to clarify: the bit between Rob and Matt is a joke Rob himself wrote for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, dental phobias are incredibly common and we wanted to make sure we didn't squick out anyone unnecessarily. Two, because dental medicine stagnated for a while during the Medieval era, the joke let us bridge ancient dentistry to more modern dentistry smoothly. Three, we didn't actually remove all that much detail from the procedures and tried to leave in enough that the bold of heart and strong of stomach and could go searching themselves, if they wanted to. But for those who want it, here's the elaboration from Rob: ROMAN CIRCULAR SAW: Basically, they'd trephine the infected tooth open, then pack it with arsenic killing the nerve. RED-HOT POKER: This was Celsus. When a gum ulcer did not respond to vinegar and chewing unripe pears and apples (?) he recommended cauterizing it with a red-hot iron (?!). AS A MOUTHWASH?: Romans believed urine was a great mouthwash, especially the urine of young boys. Apparently, kids would make money by hanging out in alleys with cups for this purpose. (Oh, the glory that was Rome!) ST. APPOLONIA: We covered it in the episode. Depending on the story a mob/Roman soldiers pulled out her teeth before her martyrdom. And that's really it. Next week's episode is much more straightforward.

[@dracosfire7247]

@@Lazypackmule That's... Not at all how that works. These history episodes are sometimes played in schools, and if they get too gruesome they can violate rating limitations for what can be shown in class without a permission slip saying their parents consent to their child watching it, which can lead to parent backlash against the school(s). The parents most prominent in this regard tend to be parents with conservative Christian values, not progressive ones.

Did that video with the babies tell you exactly how the babies were killed in detail? Or did it just say "thousands of babies were slaughtered"? Because they talk about the damage those traveling barbers did in this video, they just didn't describe how different surgeries were performed. Despite everyone's complaining I think learning about the beliefs in play here and how they developed into a school of medicine are more interesting than hearing about the body horror of old timey dental surgery.

Tokuijin Which is more important: history or ad revenue?

Man sometimes I cant tell extra history and extra mythology episodes appart

History and Comedy Nice Good job Rob , poor David to draw and narrator to read🤣

[@akshatshah3717]

This is stupid. If you can't listen about violence then you shouldn't be watching anything history related

[@sharilshahed6106]

Whats stupid is people bitching like crybabies on a video that depicts history in most cartoonish manners possible, and had more often than not censored gory details much more relevant than this, like the death of Gracchi's.

1:47 Let's be honest folks- EVERYONE HAS PHOBIA OF THE TEETH TORTURER; unless you're Bill Murray's character on the "Little Shop of Horrors" movie.... 6:50 For those wondering, human urine.

David must earn his pay! He will draw teeth drilling if I demand so!

[@KujoTV]

OOOooh... David WANTED to draw that.

Dammit Rob.

The episode was sponsored by child and teen checkups. Tf did ya'll expect.

[@alhassirakhdugani5813]

So you dulled down the content on the off chance that someone gets offended by something being icky? Yikes.

[@lare290]

Some people just naturally have a weak stomach, stop being an asshole. If everyone always explained the gross details, those who can't stomach that couldn't learn. It's good to also have someone who doesn't explain them, so a wider audience can enjoy it.

Also Neanderthals died out around 40,00 years ago, 13,000 YA is 27,000 yeas after the end of the Neanderthals.

Thanks for treating your audience like the children you imagine them to be!

[@AtheistIII]

for those wondering what that line about mouthwash was about: Ancient Romans used fremented urine as mouthwash.

[@greenteawithhoneyandcream7173]

They also used it for laundry

Definitely need a version with all Rob's stuff.

It's a real shame you didn't mention Miswak sticks, or the "toothbrush tree". Twigs from a certain trees in East Africa and Arabia and that are chewed on in the mornings. It's amazing, you see tribespeople living the most remote, rural lifestyle, and yet have brilliant white, healthy teeth.
