Reminded me of this

Imagine uncovering a 1,200-year-old relic that offers an intimate glimpse into the daily life of Vikings—albeit in a rather unexpected form. Discovered in 1972 beneath the site of a Lloyds Bank branch in York, England, the Lloyds Bank Coprolite is the largest known fossilized human excrement ever found. Measuring approximately 8 inches in length and 2 inches in width, this ancient stool provides invaluable insights into Viking diet and health.

Analysis reveals that its creator's diet predominantly consisted of meat and bread, with minimal vegetable intake. Additionally, the presence of parasitic eggs indicates the individual suffered from intestinal worms, highlighting the health challenges of the era.

Valued at around $39,000, the coprolite was described by palaeoscatologist Andrew Jones as "as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels." After a brief mishap in 2003, where it broke into three pieces during an exhibition, the coprolite was meticulously restored and now resides at the Jorvik Viking Centre in York.

This unique artifact continues to fascinate visitors, offering a tangible connection to the past and a testament to the rich history of Viking civilization.

See? They weren't the bloodthirsty marauders they're portrayed as. They just wanted to use the bathrooms.
