00:00In some tribes in Africa, women like to cut several slashes on their faces and then apply glue to the
00:05wounds.
00:06The scars will become darker after the wounds heal.
00:08Raised patterns will form once the wounds are healed.
00:11In addition, they also cut several slashes on their foreheads because they believe these scars are a symbol of beauty
00:17that can charm men.
00:19Women in some other tribes have also come up with a way to make themselves look prettier.
00:23They cut a small hole in their lower lip and insert a small clay plate into it.
00:27The lip will heal after dozens of days. Then the small clay plate is gradually replaced with larger ones.
00:32They also endure the pain to have their teeth pulled out to fit bigger plates.
00:36In their eyes, the woman with the largest plate is the most beautiful girl in the village.
00:41Medieval Europeans also had a very weird belief.
00:44They loved collecting their own farts and storing them in glass jars.
00:47They did this because plagues were widespread at that time.
00:50They believed plagues were spread by dirty air.
00:53So they stored their farts for emergencies.
00:56Once they got infected, they would open the jar and take a deep breath.
01:01They firmly believed the farts could defeat the virus and kill bacteria.
