Wait! I just thought of something. Beer is also made out of water, meaning that there is actually
clean and pure water that anyone in that time could've actually found
and drink and if the water at that time is dirty and
contaminated and supposedly mix with other ingredients to make beer,
wouldn't the people at that time get really sick and died from it?
Because of how unsafe and dangerous the water is back then.

They purposely dumped human waste into moats as part of a defense as they knew anyone who would try a breach a castle wall and got wet from the moat, they'd be risking extreme illness entry via openenings in skin becoming seriously injected.
The wealthiest, at a meal, sat above the salt and the poorest among guests sat below the salt.

Watch the Ruth Goodman documentaries about Gedalon castle in france which will dispell a lot of the myths that this video perpetuates. Gedelon castle is an authentic medieval caste being constructed in france using only medieval technology and building methods.

Chock full of misinformation! Castles were brightly painted, reflecting any light. Also, stone accumulates heat, and works as an insulator. Castles also generally didn't stink, nor were the floors covered in rushes, nor were most of your other facts correct.

I have always heard the water was contaminated back then so you couldn't drink it but I never wondered, contaminated from what? They didn't have factories dumping chemicals in the water so was it just too many people shitting in the rivers?

To keep warm in the winters, they drank a a lot of liquor, ate fatty, rich foods, hung tapestry on the walls had a thick layer of straw and hay for insulation, had huge fires - kept all night- and all slept in one room, animals and all.

Was honeymoons public in front of witnesses to say the marriage was consummated. With all the heavy brocade dresses a woman wore, was intimacy done in the nude. Because the woman had to have help getting all those layers on.

Watching this made me want to live in Ancient Egypt a lot more because of their high hygiene and medical standard. Their leaders (pharaohs) are more busier governing the land and they pay for grain or food as a currency.

It's easy to call everything miserable in today's context. In 3100, today will be 'miserable' as well. There are people all over the world living in terrible conditions now. So nothing to be smug about.

Is there a movie or series that showcases the filth of medieval times or do they all just pretend it was pristine, immaculate stone castles with perfectly clean clothes and no shit all over the floor?

Medieval times were cleaner and more colorful than you think, many historical documents prove it, everyone washed themselves including the peasants who took baths in streams, ponds and rivers

I feel bad for them they did not live in an era as memes. They missed out so much no wonder why they wage wars. Im sure it's more of a boredom that drove them to irrationality

Mediaeval people were generally very clean, as this was a religious duty. Dungeons were rarely used as prisons, but functioned as workshops e. g. for the castle blacksmith.

Cooks having a meager meal in the kitchen. Come on! Cooks through out history have always stolen a little bit for themselves. Even in prison, cooks eat the best.

I would love to watch a series of all the generations from 17th through the 19th centuries in England. Like Timeline but generations instead of single years.

Why were they so dirty? Couldnt they think? Couldnt they realize burying poo was a good thing. Even in the ancient days God told people how to be clean.

I do pray that anyone that held a posting of power by birth is not burning in hell I am sure there are a few exceptions but your bloodline is a joke.
