Simon Mayo has added a bar of soap to A History of the World. You might think that he is trying to win a prize for the least historical object on the site but watch the video see the story behind it.

It turns out that a bar of soap isn't always just a bar of soap. As with many of the objects on the site, it shows that everyday things can evoke strong emotions unrelated to their original purpose and some even become a memento of world-changing events.
