Freyd, you sound almost as ancient as I. The things we survived are amazing.
In England (Somerset) they actually suspended lead balls in cider because it removed the acidity and sweetened it.
Lead paint is sweet in flavour.
The 'baths' and special places for taking water in England were necessary because of lead poisoning. Being suspended, weightless in water improves the activity of the kidneys, hence many went to these 'royal' places and took the waters.
'Royal' Tunbridge Wells, or Bath etc. All fancy expensive places in which to live.
By the way, water I believe will be the oil of the future.
English French and German companies are making their moves.
(In Bolivia even rain water was considered the property of the water company).
The World Bank prefers to lend to these company rogues, so poor countries cannot get the necessary loans for clean water.
What next, the air we breathe? Paying for what God gave freely!
Arsenic was used as face powder, leaving pock marks.
'Garde-de-lieu/watch out below' was a warning that nasties were about to be dumped out of a window and possibly on your head. Is this why we go to the loo?
Differenciating between the right and left foot is recent. (Approx. 1865). Before then everyone wore 'straights'. Shoes that went on either foot and guaranteed blisters.
In the 18th century women wore hairstyles so elabobrate and high, that they had to kneel down in a carriage to travel.
They were not only elaborate but also expensive so that things were usually living or nesting in them before they were taken down and rearranged.
Honeymoon did mean you had a months holiday (a complete moon) drinking Mead, which is a wine made from honey. Fr. lune de miel.
In Egypt and Africa babies' heads were bound to make them elongated, this was thought to make them beautiful.
Rings are put round womens' necks and silly things are put in their mouths and earlobes.
Since the fig leaves what have we been doing?
More worrying are those who are trying to manipulate humanity now. They are becoming more sophisticated.
There are intelligent persons working on various virii or viruses one of which, recently, managed to get out into the open from a centre 'making vaccines', and create a 'foot and mouth' outbreak.
Interesting, since England is not allowed to inject against this virus as they would be then be forbidden to export their beef to Europe, so what are they doing and why? Humans can acquire this illness.
Medecines are being made that have tracker devices as they pass through us.

:shocked: Wow, humanity sure cuts a strange path through social and medical history.
As for where are we in the stream of time: Here and Now, because that's the only time and place we truly have.
