    If the latrine was in the cellar under the first floor. Can you imagine the awful smell in that cathedral?

      misconception. There are many crappy ai imges of them falling through the cathedral floor. there are sources against that and also its very illogical. church ground is holy after all. the fall was most likely outside of a building, somewhat nearby the cathedral. also based on what we know it normally didnt smell. i mean imagin living somewhere and smelling poop every day. you will find a solution to block the smell rather quickly ^^

      It also hadn’t been cleaned out in a long time. I think they were supposed to do it yearly, but they hadn’t done it in five.

      The past smelled like shit, everywhere.

      The past smelled like Delhi on a hot day, except all the time, everywhere.

        In Europe that is. In some other places, people did not build their temples on top of … their pools of excrement
