Some myths about the middle ages
Step into the pages of medieval Europe, a realm shrouded in misconception and mystery. Often depicted as a land populated by unwashed, sword-wielding knights who dined on spoiled fare, adhered to a flat Earth belief, gallantly defended chastity-belt-clad maidens, and reveled in the grotesque torture of their adversaries, this portrayal is more the stuff of fiction than historical reality.

Before anesthesia was a thing
In the 1830s, the surgical theater witnessed a remarkable spectacle as Scottish surgeon Robert Liston prepared to enact a swift and efficient amputation. With medical students poised to assist and onlookers curious to witness, Liston initiated a rapid sequence of movements. The patient's flesh yielded to his blade, and in quick succession, he sawed through the tibia and fibula. In a matter of minutes, the amputation was concluded. Yet, this was an era when surgical interventions were a symphony of suffering, for anesthesia was not yet a ubiquitous ally in the operating room. Patients bore the torment of surgery with consciousness, acutely aware of each cut and sensation. The quest for anesthetics capable of inducing a state of unconsciousness and facilitating meticulous procedures had commenced long before Liston's swift endeavors.

On September 19th, 1991, a pair of hikers navigating the Ötzal Alps on the boundary between Austria and Italy stumbled upon a preserved body emerging from the ice.
