00:00Think toilet paper is gross? Ancient Greeks had something much worse.
00:04After using the toilet, some Greeks used small pieces of pottery or smooth stones to clean
00:10themselves. They were called pesoi. And yes, people actually carried these little pieces
00:15of pottery into the bathroom. Ancient toilets were very different from ours,
00:19with simple seats and open drainage systems. So the next time you complain about toilet paper,
00:25remember, you could have been living in ancient Greece. At least your bathroom doesn't come
00:30with a bag of pottery.
