From what I remember it is because of the black plague. Sneezing was a sign of sickness. They would say bless you in hopes of stopping them from getting it.
Why do we bless people when they sneeze. Why are sneezes deemed so unholy

I saw this and something told me to pass it on, perhaps for my own good.

Hello. We exist.
Tumblr media
I’ve been on Tumblr for about a year now and I have yet to see the science side of Tumblr. I now call upon the science side of Tumblr to prove to me that you do exist!

I love Vikings just look at my name so what do you need to know about Vikings?
Can someone recommend some good books on the following subjects?
Slavery in the Chinese empire, and in pre-Colonial Asia in general
Slavery in ancient/medieval northern and eastern Europe esp. Vikings, Celts, and the pre-Roman Germanic peoples, Franks, Scythians, and Slavs. 
Serf-dom in Medieval/Renaissance Europe. 
I’ve been able to find books on the subject in every other time/place, but no luck (or not enough) with these so far.

Because we are more secretive and many people like me are double agents and work for both the history and science side of tumblr.
I know that the “Science-Side of Tumblr” is very famous and well known, but why hasn’t anyone ever talked about the “History-Side of Tumblr?”

Probably some island tribe worshiped turtles.
History side of Tumblr, was there an ancient civilization that worshiped turtles?
