Scotland
First of all we discover that our British ancestors also mummified their dead, along with the ancient Egyptians and ancient Peruvians, and now we find they made saunas long before the Romans!
Although the building may not have acted as a sauna exclusively, it was almost definitely used for ritual purposes, or even acted as a maternity ward!
Around 4,000 years old, the ‘sauna’ predates the Roman equivalent by 2,000 years. Certainly in the freezing cold winters of northern Scotland, whatever the structure was, it would definitely have kept people warm!
