Finally, someone who gets there is nothing nostalgic or golden about the past, especially if you time travel back before 1800. It smells, you smell, the smelly gross world is trying to kill you. You. Are. Food. You will be sick. Even if you have money, your servants are trying to kill you because nobody knows sanitation and everybody believes disease is a curse, god's will, or a miasma. Don't forget being bled by leaches was a thing…

Your little guide should be required reading for anyone writing a historically correct time travel story to prod them into providing the proper gritty verisimilitude.

I boosted. Other authors should boost the original post thread, too. Well done indeed.
