Imagine soap has never existed. No bar, no bottle, no lather. So how do you get clean? For most of human history, nobody had an answer that looked anything like a bar of soap. And when soap finally did appear, it wasn't invented for you. In this video we travel from the Stone Age to the Victorian era to find out what people actually used instead: river water, sand, ash, crushed plants, olive oil and a metal scraper, and why it took thousands of years for anyone to put soap and a bath together. Sources for the facts in this video: research on early soap-like material from Babylon (~2800 BCE), the Ebers Papyrus (Egypt, ~1550 BCE), the Greek and Roman use of olive oil and the strigil, Pliny the Elder on the Gauls' use of "sapo" as a hair pomade, medieval bathhouses and the Black Death, the rise of Marseille and Castile soap, the British soap tax (1712–1853), Pears and Lever Brothers advertising, and Ignaz Semmelweis's 1847 discovery of handwashing.
