Dark Ages Tales From Tonka!

When we asked The Monkey Nut what they wanted to do for their birthday, and they decided on visiting Jorvik Viking Centre, followed by lunch at one of their fave restaurants. This meant parking in Coppergate Multi-Storey Car Park.

Now many, many, MANY years ago, when TMN was just a hexadecimal gleam in Tonka's eye, Tonka used to work near Coppergate, and I would meet her for lunch on my days off, we'd eat on a bench overlooking the Foss and then 'say goodbye' using the Coppergate car park lifts for privacy. We talked about this when planning the trip, when driving to York, and after arriving.

We then proceeded to those same lifts, and as we set off down, I leaned down to kiss Bird Brain Of Britain on the head, and she shouted "What did you do that for, you fool?"

Bless!

"This is the largest fossilized human turd ever found. It belonged to a sick Viking in the 9th Century AD, and has been valued at $39,000". The large, “precious” Poop, officially known as the Lloyds Bank Coprolite, the word “Coprolite” simply meaning fossilized dung. This 1200 year old log that is thought to be the largest recorded in human history. At 8 inches long and 2 inches wide, specimen was discovered, in York northwest England in 1972 by construction workers during the building of a Lloyds TSB branch, in an area once ruled by Norse warriors. It takes its name from institution Lloyds Bank. The huge poo had another red-letter moment in 1991 when dung scientist Dr. Andrew Jones appraised the piece in the name of insurance. “This is the most exciting piece of excrement I’ve ever seen,” he told the Wall Street Journal at the time. “In its own way, it’s as irreplaceable as the Crown Jewels.” Paleoscatologists have been able to discern much from the girthy deposit, including that its producer ate mostly meat and bread was likely a Viking, lived in approximately the 9th Century AD, and had a gut full of parasites. Indeed, the manure was found to be infested with Whipworm and Maw-worm eggs, suggesting the Viking often had an upset stomach and other gastrointestinal problems. Today, the log resides in a glass box at the Jorvik Viking Centre, York, England; where, in 2003, visitors dropped it, breaking it into three pieces. It has since been repaired. The Centre is proud to call itself the turd’s final resting place, even hosting a virtual workshop in February called “Poo Day!” in which fans learned about the dung’s significance.

Sorry if you've answered before, but as a Norwegian, I'm curious what made you want to learn my language? To me, it's nothing special, though I realise that's probably just because I'm so used to it lol

Hi there! A few of reasons:

1) I had a few friends at uni who were Norwegian so I thought it'd be fun to learn their language 2) I've always had a bit of a fascination with Nordic countries and Norse mythology and Vikings (not in a weird white supremacist way i promise, my parents took us to the Jorvik Centre in York a lot when I was a kid and it was like the only time I enjoyed learning about history of any sort) 3) I had a friend from Bergen when I was in secondary school and she introduced me to Raske Menn when I was like 16 and taught me how to say some of the lines from the shows (fun fact the first thing I learned to say in Norwegian was "jeg er en skiten liten pike") 4) Norwegian was listed as one of the easiest languages for native English speakers to learn 5) It was a toss-up between Finnish and Norwegian and the book shop only had a Norwegian textbook so that's what I ended up choosing 6) My mum was a DJ in Scandinavia in her… early 20s, I think? And she always talked about her adventures there and it just sounded so awesome and I wanted to have adventures too. 7) It sounds so beautiful! 8) I figured it was a language not a lot of people around me would understand, and at the time I wrote regularly and went to meet-ups with other writers and sometimes people would read over my shoulder and one time this girl even READ A PART OF MY STORY ALOUD, so I wanted to have a different language I could use for writing so I would never have to worry about that ever again

Thanks for the question! I never get tired of talking about Norwegian 💜

Curious anons get in my ask box!

A Man From Viking-Age Swinegate, Jorvik Viking Centre, York

This man was over 46 years old when he died and was buried in an oak coffin in the burial ground of St Benet's church, York. Only the upper part of his body was recovered but he was originally 5ft 6in (1.71m) tall. His facial characteristics suggest he was of African or mixed ancestry, but he was probably born in the British Isles. As he was buried in a coffin he was clearly a man of some status. We do not know what he died from, but he was in general good health.

🔸"Este es el excremento humano fosilizado más grande jamás encontrado. Perteneció a un vikingo enfermo en el siglo IX d.C. y está valorado en 39.000 dólares".

La gran y “preciosa” caca, oficialmente conocida como Lloyds Bank Coprolite,

la palabra "coprolita" simplemente significa estiércol fosilizado. Este tronco de 1200 años se cree que es el más grande registrado en la historia de la humanidad.

El espécimen, de 8 pulgadas de largo y 2 pulgadas de ancho, fue descubierto en York, al noroeste de Inglaterra, en 1972 por trabajadores de la construcción durante la construcción de una sucursal de Lloyds TSB, en un área que alguna vez estuvo gobernada por guerreros nórdicos. Toma su nombre de la institución Lloyds Bank.

La enorme caca tuvo otro momento destacado en 1991, cuando el científico del estiércol Dr. Andrew Jones evaluó la pieza en nombre del seguro. "Este es el excremento más emocionante que he visto en mi vida", dijo al Wall Street Journal en ese momento. "A su manera, es tan irremplazable como las Joyas de la Corona".

Los paleoscatólogos han podido discernir mucho del depósito, incluido que su productor comía principalmente carne y pan era probablemente un vikingo, vivió aproximadamente en el siglo IX d.C. y tenía el estómago lleno de parásitos. De hecho, se descubrió que el estiércol estaba infestado de huevos de tricocéfalo y gusano de las fauces, lo que sugiere que el vikingo a menudo tenía malestar estomacal y otros problemas gastrointestinales.

Hoy en día, el tronco reside en una caja de cristal en el Jorvik Viking Centre, York, Inglaterra; donde, en 2003, los visitantes lo dejaron caer, rompiéndolo en tres pedazos. Desde entonces ha sido reparado.

El Centro se enorgullece de llamarse a sí mismo el lugar de descanso final del excremento, e incluso organizó un taller virtual en febrero llamado “¡Día de la Caca!” en el que los fanáticos aprendieron sobre el significado del estiércol.

Quando la 💩 è arte

Il pezzo di cacca che vale una fortuna: si trova in un museo di York, lo Jorvik Viking Centre

Chi pensa che nei musei ci siano solo pezzi d’arte si sbaglia di grosso: il coprolite di York, cioè un pezzo di cacca vichinga, è un pezzo da museo e vale una fortuna.

Con il termine scientifico coprolite si intende un pezzo di sterco fossile che può essere stato originato da animali o esseri umani. Fossilizzandosi, lo sterco diventa duro come pietra ma contiene ancora al suo interno dei frammenti di cibo immagazzinati dall’organismo che ha prodotto lo sterco e questo consente ai ricercatore di ottenere moltissime informazioni sulla dieta e soprattutto sulla costituzione degli organismi che hanno generato gli escrementi.Il coprolite di York è diventato famoso a causa del fatto di essere uno dei rari coproliti prodotti da esseri umani e, nello specifico, è una cacca di vichingo. Misura la bellezza di 20 cm di lunghezza per 5 di larghezza ed è il coprolite umano più grande mai ritrovato dagli scienziati finora.

All’epoca in cui il coprolite venne “prodotto”, l’Inghilterra era divisa in diversi regni e la città di York, nei pressi del quale il reperto è stato rinvenuto dagli scienziati, faceva parte del Regno di Jórvík. Si trattava di un regno creato dagli invasori vichinghi che avevano raggiunto le coste della Gran Bretagna attraversando il mare. Si trattò di un atto rivoluzionario per la navigazione dell’epoca, che normalmente avveniva sempre in prossimità della costa. I vichinghi furono i primi naviganti ad avere il coraggio di spingersi lontano dalle coste conosciute per attraversare il mare aperto e dirigersi verso una terra inesplorata. Quando arrivarono in Gran Bretagna i vichinghi danesi riuscirono rapidamente a conquistare ampie fette di territorio e a creare domini stabili, esattamente come il Regno di Jórvík.

¡Hola, buenos días, humanidad! 🌍 ¡Feliz martes! 🌅 😊💕Hoy os regalo la imagen de la ciudad de York, en Inglaterra. Su arquitectura medieval se despliega en calles empedradas, revelando la majestuosidad de la catedral de York Minster, una maravilla gótica que se alza imponente. Los restos de murallas antiguas rodean el núcleo histórico, testigos silenciosos de siglos de eventos. Pasear por Shambles, una calle empedrada con casas de entramado de madera transporta a los visitantes a tiempos pasados. El río Ouse serpentea tranquilamente, ofreciendo vistas pintorescas y cruceros relajantes. La ciudad alberga museos fascinantes, como el Jorvik Viking Centre, que sumerge a los visitantes en la época vikinga. Los jardines del Museo de Yorkshire, en el corazón de la ciudad, brindan un oasis de serenidad…

Para tener en cuenta...

Algún día te darás cuenta de que tus batallas más difíciles siempre han sido sobre aceptar lo que realmente estaba destinado para ti. Aceptar la separación de personas en las que tu corazón creía que eran permanentes. Aceptar la existencia de cada circunstancia en la que pensaste que nunca te encontrarías. Aceptar el fracaso de todas las victorias que ya habías celebrado en tu mente. Y, sobre todo, aceptar la belleza de todas las cosas que obtuviste en lugar de todas las cosas hermosas que pensaste que querías. Esa es la peculiaridad de las cosas destinadas para ti: te encuentran sin importar dónde te escondas y te permiten ser. Te permiten ser mientras sufres y sanas, y encuentras el coraje para aceptarlas. Y una vez que lo haces, se quedan.
