culture
Very developed. However, with the decline of the Roman Empire, the bathing culture in ancient Rome finally degenerated into a promiscuous culture. Because the water pipes of the Romans contained a lot of lead, the physical quality and IQ of the Romans dropped greatly, which made the Romans unable to resist the invasion of barbarian civilizations such as Germanic, and the scientific and technological level at that time could not explain this phenomenon. The Roman bathing civilization was extinct! And Europeans began a glorious history of not taking a bath for more than ten centuries!
In medieval Europe, most people didn't have the habit of taking a bath, except in areas influenced by Arab culture. Although some people have toilets or bathrooms, they seldom use them for bathing. Among the European guardians headed by members of the royal family, they regard bathing as the root of depravity. Many people have never bathed in their lives, including the famous Charlemagne, Queen Victoria and many other European monarchs. They even touted this habit as a personal achievement! At that time, people thought that bathing was bad for health, and they all thought that hot water would expand pores and make it easier for bacteria to invade the body. At that time, nobles needed to use a lot of powder to cover up the bad smell. This is also the reason why Europeans were so interested in Asian spices at that time, so Europeans didn't take a bath at that time, which can even be regarded as an important reason why they later explored the ocean and colonized everywhere!
The consequence of this bad habit of Europeans was the flu and plague that prevailed in Europe at that time.
Until 1750, only 6% of the houses in Paris Palace were equipped with toilets. It was not until the late18th century that doctors began to advise people to wash their hands, faces and necks every day. Since then, European talents have finally embarked on the road of frequent bathing!
