It’s wild to think that at one point some viking was taking a shit in a field somewhere, not knowing that over 1000 years later it would be named after a bank and that would essentially be his entire legacy to the world. Or logacy, if you prefer.

I was wondering how poo gets conserved that long. According to wiki it was covered by moist and peaty layers. I guess that prevented any degradation. Wish it was would be better explained somewhere 😅. So if you guys have any information on the biology of this conservation let me know.
