This is undeniably hilarious, but if you've ever seen actual dissection photos or videos of surgery, you kinda recognize that good anatomical drawings required a lot of mental effort to create.

Imagine making a completely accurate diagram of everything in a car's engine bay, either while the engine is running and it's doing 70mph down the highway, or after it's had a head-on collision at the same speed.

And remember that every second you're under the hood looking at it, youre afraid of getting caught and sentenced for fiddling with cadavers without permission.

I had to look up the history and while it was illegal at points in history, anatomy theaters became popular in the 16th century.

The period I was thinking about was some British history, 17th-19th century, the bodysnatching thing.
