This is a #shorts video on interesting facts,  Romans, Mouse, Teeth, America, Columbus, Santa Marina and Nina. Did you know that urine was used by the Romans as a cleaning agent? They believed the ammonia in it could effectively clean clothes and whiten teeth. Wealthy Romans considered dormice a delicacy and kept them in special enclosures called gliraria. These rodents were fed chestnuts and other foods to fatten them up before being cooked and served at lavish banquets. Unfortunately, the Romans unknowingly poisoned themselves with lead from the drinking water, which was contaminated due to lead pipes. This lead poisoning is believed to have contributed to the cognitive decline associated with the fall of the Roman Empire. Contrary to popular belief, the Romans did not have special rooms called vomitoriums for the purpose of vomiting to eat more at feasts. The term actually referred to the passageways and ancient amphitheaters that allowed crowds to enter and exit quickly. Romans used toothpaste made from crushed mouse brains and urine to clean their teeth. They believed that the ammonia in urine helped with teeth whitening.
