What are some extremely valuable (monetary, culturally, etc.) historical objects that have been verified as real but are still lost or missing? For example, the theft of the jewelry from the Louvre or the Amber Room.
When we think of the worst of the worst addictive substances of today, meth, heroin, and fentanyl come to mind.
Did ancient times also have lesser-known-but-commonly-abused addictive substances (apart from alcohol and opium) that were documented in historical texts?
I’ve heard of some folks using a chest binder to keep the surgical area nice and supported ((pressed-in) to minimize gas pain. I’ve also heard others say that just perpetually clutching a pillow to the front of your tummy that first week will produce the same effect.
Opinions, please?
