In 1949, a Russian archaeologist noticed a blur of color inside a large block of ice at the bottom of a looted tomb. Something was trapped inside the ice, preserved for more than two millennia. When the ice thawed out, a stunning artifact was revealed and has remained one of the legacies of the rich and advanced culture of the ancient Pazyryk nomads.

Dhaka Muslin, an expensive and diaphanous fabric, at its height created a scandal of exposed flesh across the aristocracy of Europe. Could this lost art be coming back?

Fart talk is not just for boys’ locker rooms. For thousands of years, people have been discussing farts, making fun of them and, in some cases, revering them. St. Augustine believed farts were the act of freeing divine light from the body, while Pythagoras was concerned that people might fart out their soul. From fart fearing to fart worshipping, this bodily act was highly ritualized in many ancient cultures.
