I know im dumb. But has all of these toilets been thoroughly cleaned? Or do you think, like, they missed some spots😭 and theres over 1000 year old poop stains.
The fact that the tunnel bends and reveals the toilet It makes me scared because your gonna get jumpscared almost every time somebody walks in or when you walk in
Andy I know you mostly do Minecraft. So I don’t feel weird saying I always put these in my Minecraft castles needs lots of mossy cobblestone for well TMI
@@oyen148 I don’t think you can upgrade it much, you could do a Minecraft tour of ‘ restrooms ‘ through technological advancements from a simple hole in the ground to a Roman army communal latrine to a Norman castle garderobe to the modern bathroom with tripwire hook Faucets and iron trapdoor showers but i think that’s what your limited too .

The ammonia would be used to delouse the clothes sometimes. It was politely called the water clothset. The Blarney Stone was actually part of a toilet. Tourists shouldn't kiss it.

When I was a kid living in Luxembourg, our family visited a good number of castles all over Europe (Western). My brother and I always wondered how they did the dirty deed! We never saw anything like this!
Well the toilet seat isn't there. It would have been wooden with a hole in it similar to a modern toilet seat and it would have had a wooden lid to cover the hole when not being used, to keep the wind and smell out.
That one wet liquid poo that smears all the walls of the toilet shoot Side note: this video well shows how thick castle walls were in relation to windows. Like castles look huge but their interior space wasn’t all that. It’s the modern equivalent of a traditional suburban home and the only interior would be the living room and half a kitchen
so many things about this is intriguing to me. not only is the design very smart , the spiral going upward probably reduces most or nearly all of the smell, esp with the little window. also it is very spacious(big enough for a wake and bake) and the hallway of course is designed for 1 person to fight off intruders, so it seems like a good last defense space. my only questions are where does this lead. and is it big enough for a last minute escape? the hole looks big enough for the kids or a skinny person lol
Those stairs should wind up to the right and down to the left so right handed swords men cannot swing their swords but those defending can. Must have been left handed.😂
@@AverageAlien I respect your positivity about the medieval era but that's sadly false, most people smelled very bad. Only the rich smelled good because they had money

That looks really comfortable on a nice winters day 😂😂

Ahh so this is where Tyrion Lannister shot and killed his father Tywin Lannister with a crossbow
Imagine the echoes throughout the kingdom as you let them rip in that stone toilet 😂
Imagine the cold draft coming up that ! On a cold day!😢
That bathroom still looks better than the bathroom at McDonald's!
Prolly not even used anymore.
At least Macdonald's in Western world.
In Indonesia is another whole different level much better than in the west.
And cleaner for sure
Or Taco Bell 🔔
@@RIZFERD Why would Indonesian McDonald's toilets be better in general?, and would they be squat toilets?
It heads straight for the moat. The smell, in the Summer, must have been hideous.
That's why the richer you were the higher you were from the street
@@Loralanthalas During the Summer, the smell got so bad that the residents would often leave the castle until the smell passed.
Why?
Yes just like our British rivers!!
They would not have noticed it. People in our time live in a sanitized world.
Better than an outhouse

I am thinking that invaders needed blocking. Helluva job to sneak into the castle that-a-way, though.
Could rats climb up the toilet?🫣
Lol its so smart bc it's like a tunnel that shoots the poop out the castle walls

How did they used to even sit on these rods in winter 🥶
A whole lotta shht😂
they was using rocks and sticks to wipe too😂

Thank you. Always wondered about the toilets during ancient times. Thank u for showing. 😁👍💖
Basically, if you were rich, you through it out the window. If you were poor, it landed on your head.😂
Yeah 🤔🤔 hmm kvd had many sleepless nights wondering about their toilets. Huh.. s room with a view. Whoda thunk😅
Yeah and the royals had people specifically for wiping their asses when they got done pooping. They were called asswipes. lol

exactly
Because assassin's would climb up and lie in wait to stab you

And the fish live in the moat. 🤮
that tunnel is big enough for a person to fall. SCARY
I was looking for this comment. Like imagine having a toddler or something and they just fall.
Secret escape route 😂
There would have been a wooden seat over the hole usually with a cover. Sometimes they were upholstered.
@@KitOkunari Secret attack route, occasionally.
Thats why the bars are there to prevent people from falling. The original seat has obviously rotted away long ago.
This makes chimney sweeping look like a peice of cake

Can we see the dining hall rather? Castles are so bitchen! 😊🎉
Wondering if this is where the phrase _"to take a dump"_ comes from.... 🤔🤔🤔
I think it comes from going in a chamber pot and then having to bring it outside in the morning and dump out. Taking a dump.

The only way they'd know it was you is if you shouted your name down the hole first or have a particularly recognisable backside.

do you think you can make it up all those stairs and not fall in a emergency situation

Someone hasn't had kids yet.
Na most of us wouldn't have experienced that luxury. We'd be hiding behind a bush wiping with a pine cone.

probably because it's not the original design
