Did Ancient Egyptians Wipe After Pooping?

Did Ancient Egyptians Wipe After Pooping? The honest answer involves parasite eggs on 2,000-year-old hygiene sticks, Roman sponges shared between strangers, and one obsessively clean civilization that left almost no trace of how they actually did it. Before toilet paper existed, humans still had to solve this problem every single day. In this video we look at real archaeological evidence: hygiene sticks from a Han dynasty relay station on the Silk Road, the Roman tersorium (a sponge on a stick), Greek and Roman pottery scrapers, and a 3,300-year-old limestone toilet seat from ancient Egypt. We also look at what the Greek historian Herodotus reported about Egyptian cleanliness, and why the evidence for what Egyptians actually used has almost entirely disappeared.
