Dude mixed some reality with a lot of fiction... Seems like he learned history from screenshots here and there, and then created a singular version in his mind.

Bathing part, I agree. Soap had to be introduced to Europe around 1000 years ago. Even Greco-Romans (who Europeans like to attach themselves to in order to lie about their true ancient history and project some idea of ancient glory) did not use soap. They mostly used olive oil mixed with dirt in order to wash themselves. And olive oil wasn't a native invention; it was from the Middle East. In contrast, people from West Africa independently domesticated the shea tree, and later developed shea butter and its soap derivatives, for hygiene and body care.

And if you interact with Europeans, you can easily see how they are just performative about showering but not really about it. Their ease in developing skin conditions is not just a random issue. And I am not talking about skin conditions from sun exposure. I'm talking about skin conditions due to lack of hygiene. These people cover themselves with a lot of scents after taking 1-3 minute showers. Even worse if you've worked with them in mostly winter regions. With long jackets on, it's the latest perfume projecting intensively; below the jacket, and even lower, below the shirt, it is a funk of another level. And we are not talking about poor people without regular access to water. Also, many of them truly believe that a shower can only happen if you have a bathtub, a shower faucet, and supermarket cosmetics.

There is this Euro dude who used to follow me on Twitter, back in the days, and used to deny the claims that bathing wasn't common among Europeans by saying, "Well, bathing houses existed in parts of Europe since the Roman era."... But he always left out the fact that bathing houses were not for commoners; they were mostly for the small upper class. I asked him once, "Let's look at the Netherlands, Ireland, Sweden, or Britain, where most people lived in rural winter sod-houses and huts. Where and how exactly did they bathe constantly in these places?" and he was like, "Not true. Most people lived in miniatures of the castles and palaces from their rulers. They had their own miniature bathing houses."

His babbling when I showed him these images below and the stats about it? It was out of this world









Dude then tried to yap about "You really think that people who had royal beds in rural areas yap yap yap" lmao. And once again started deflecting when I showed him how most Europeans slept throughout most of their history. I told him "You are telling me that in the wealthiest capitals, of the wealthiest European nations, most people still slept in things like rope beds and funerary coffins but those in rural areas, sharing a single hut with 6+ people, were sleeping in royal beds?"



Dude then tried to bring Africa as a deflection but disappeared after I showed him the different types of proper beds that native Africans created and also how in most of Africa, a hut was for a single individual and not a huge family like it was common in Europe. Euros are so pathetic when they cannot lie. It's like their entire image is built on lying and manipulating other people.



However, attention: Moors in Iberia (Spain and Portugal) were a collection of Muslims from Western North Africa, the Middle East, and West African states like Takrur and Ghana (not the modern country). They weren't just black. And black people were not the majority(ruling class or even slave-soldier class). Plus, the invasion of Iberia started with Arabs. Apparently, the Visigoth ruling class was fractured and weak; some of them went to the Arabs who had conquered and were ruling North Africa for support. Arabs conquered the land but dusted the deal and stayed there.

In addition, before the Moors, Spain was also a colony of Phoenicians and Romans. So the idea that nothing happened there before the Moors is really asinine. Now, if you say that native Spaniards/Iberians never produced anything groundbreaking on their own—I mean, independently from foreign influences—then I agree.
