You'd Die in 24 Hours in Medieval London - Here's How (1300s)

Medieval London. 1348. The Black Death has arrived. You appear in the middle of a London street. You have 24 hours to survive. You wouldn't make it. Not even close. This is the complete breakdown of why a modern person absolutely could not survive 24 hours in medieval London—the diseases that would infect you within minutes, the contaminated water that would poison you, the violence that would target you, and the dozens of other ways this city would kill you before sunset. ☠️ IN THIS DOCUMENTARY: • Hour 1: The smell hits you (sewage, rotting meat, unwashed bodies) • Hour 2: You drink contaminated water (Thames full of waste) • Hour 3: Rats and fleas swarm you (plague vectors everywhere) • Hour 4: You eat contaminated food (dysentery begins) • Hour 5: Medieval Londoners attack you (xenophobia, theft, violence) • Hour 6: You encounter plague victims (Black Death exposure) • Hour 8: Severe dehydration (no clean water anywhere) • Hour 10: Food poisoning peak (vomiting, diarrhea, fever) • Hour 12: Infection from minor cuts (no antibiotics, no sanitation) • Hour 15: Hypothermia or heatstroke (no climate control) • Hour 18: Disease symptoms begin (plague incubation started) • Hour 20: Physical collapse (dehydration, disease, exhaustion) • Hour 24: You're dead or dying (multiple system failures) WHAT WOULD KILL YOU FIRST: 1. *Contaminated water* - Thames river is an open sewer 2. *Plague exposure* - Black Death killed 60% of London 3. *Food poisoning* - No refrigeration, rotting meat, flies everywhere 4. *Violence* - Theft, assault, murder common (you'd be obvious target) 5. *Infections* - Any cut becomes deadly (no antibiotics) 6. *Lack of immunity* - No protection against medieval diseases 7. *Dehydration* - Can't drink anything safely 8. *Exposure* - No shelter you could safely access 9. *Starvation* - Can't safely eat available food 10. *Accident* - Buildings collapsing, fires, waste from windows MEDIEVAL LONDON REALITIES: • Population: ~50,000 (before plague) / ~25,000 (after plague) • Sanitation: NONE - waste thrown in streets, open cesspits • Water: Thames river = drinking water + sewer + garbage dump • Disease: Black Death, leprosy, dysentery, typhoid, smallpox • Death rate: 30-40 deaths per 1,000 per year (vs 5 today) • Life expectancy: 30 years average (vs 81 today) • Rats: Millions (outnumbered humans 10-to-1) • Violence: Murder rate 10x higher than modern London • Fire risk: Constant (timber buildings, open flames, no fire brigade) • Medical care: Bloodletting, prayer, superstition (no actual medicine) THE BLACK DEATH (1348-1350): In just 18 months, the plague killed 60% of London's population. 40,000-50,000 people died. Bodies piled in streets. Mass graves everywhere. No one knew what caused it (germ theory 500 years away). Treatments: Pray, flagellate yourself, blame Jews/foreigners, die. 📚 HISTORICAL SOURCES: • "The Black Death" - Philip Ziegler • "Life in Medieval London" - Toni Mount • Medieval coroner's reports and death records • "The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England" - Ian Mortimer • Archaeological reports from medieval London excavations • Plague statistics and mortality data • Medieval hygiene and sanitation studies • Violence and crime records from medieval courts 💀 MEDIEVAL LONDON DEATH STATISTICS: • Infant mortality: 30% died before age 1 • Child mortality: 50% died before age 10 • Maternal mortality: 1-2% died in childbirth • Murder rate: 20-50 per 100,000 (vs 1.2 today) • Plague deaths 1348-50: 60% of population • Annual death rate: 3-4% (vs 0.5% today) • Average lifespan: 30 years (vs 81 today) 🎓 RELATED VIDEOS: • Victorian London: Could You Survive? • The Black Death: 3 Years of Hell • Medieval Hygiene: The Disgusting Truth • Tower of London: Built on Blood 💬 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: How long do YOU think you'd survive in medieval London?
