I thought about this a while back. Who cleaned up all the bodies of historic battles? It seems like a lot of work for the busy military to do at the time.
We’re the bodies even cleaned up or were they washed away? Are there still remnants of the battles having taken place?
Fortunately there is an answer to this exact question by /u/eternalkerri in the FAQ
