History remembers warriors for their conquests and kings for their reigns. But this one Viking left behind something more tangible and far more unique—his poop. We’re not just talking about any poop—it’s the biggest human poop ever found.
Discovered in 1972 beneath what is now a Lloyds Bank branch in York, England, this 1,200-year-old excrement has become one of the most prized (and humorous) archaeological finds in history. Scientists call it the Lloyds Bank Coprolite and this is its story.
At a shocking 20 centimeters (8 inches) long and 5 centimeters (2 inches) wide, this coprolite is the largest intact piece of fossilized human feces ever unearthed. Today, it sits proudly on display at the Jorvik Viking Centre in York, where thousands of visitors come to see it every year.
