When there are no longer people around to have an emotional connection. 100 years with no culture or family to care? Archeology. 10,000 years, but still has a culture who feel strongly about the body and have an actual cultural or biological claim? Grave robbing. Obviously those are the two extremes, but it's still a pretty good baseline.
Emily, I'm going to give you a pass on this. I just came from your discussion with Caitlin, and, considering your intended audience, a feel you did well enough with being respectful towards the remains, all things considered. The Supreme Council of Antiquities considered the Field Museum qualified enough to handle the remains, and I concur. Your light-hearted attempts at humor can certainly engage a younger audience, and if that challenges even one to go on to study human anthropology, then it was well worth it! Good job!
Coahomma ! Maybe I am. Regardless of where I work I absolutely would have not acted as immature as this girl did in the video. She embarrassed herself and took away from the content of the subject.
@@tdmj2812 This video is 5 years old, I don't know if you can tell. And I don't know if you keep up with all of her videos, but she's older now, more mature and wise. I don't know how old you are, or how would you try to attract a young audience... Maybe you'd be like those boring awful prepotent af high school teachers who do nothing but sit still and read through their lessons. Good job! If you have such a big problem with the way she does her job, maybe you should start your own channel. Teach her how it's done! And give us all the knowledge and entertainment she's given us over the years. I'm sure you can do much, much MUCH better than her.
@@tdmj2812 She was obviously trying to make it a fun and light conversation, something that perhaps people her age (at the time, 5 years ago) would have found more interesting. The video is full of amazing information anyways, what's your problem?
It's less about the time the mummy was removed, and more revolved around the purpose of it being unearthed in the first place. I doubt grave robbers were carrying out scientific studies on the specimens they found
The purpose of getting into the tomb. Grave robbers didn't care at all about the body and would just destroy it. They only broke into the tombs to take all of the valuables and then sell them for money. Archaeologists' purpose is to obtain, study, and preserve.
Emily, you just held the leftovers of what once were the thoughts and intelligence of a living person! Kinda makes you wish there was technology available that would let you see how intelligent a person was when he/she was alive, or what she/he thought. Very awesome and interesting video :D
@@lol-d1h2g The egyptians themselves weren't stupid, they were actually one of the most advanced societies for their time, but their downfall was when they started inbreeding their leaders, leading to an intelligent society ruled by literal idiots. Also seems to be the path our society is taking today
T Zman nope, your insides are totally aseptic, bacteria getting inside you are what cause meningitis/ septicaemia etc. your digestive cavity and other orifices are full of microbes, but are counted as being outside your body as they run straight through you end to end
No, I meant that your digestive system goes straight through you. It's like a really long tube from your mouth to your anus all bundled up inside you so it classed differently to parts of your body that have no connections to the outside e.g. abdominal cavity. The microbes in your gut are indeed permanent residents :)
I would love to see another video about the mummy's body talking about what showed up on scans. What kinds of injuries the body had, how it likely died, things like that.
whatareallofthis a new episode of “Egypt’s Unexplained Files” called “Secrets of the Scorpion King” (S1 E2) does this with King Tutankhamun’s mummified body. Through scans and xrays and other tools, they were trying to find out how the young 19 year old King died. Very interesting episode really
According to the dating and the possibility of this guy being far away when he died, he may have died in some battle-related-something against the Assyrian Empire, who were really out and about killing folks in that century. Totally guessing of course.
Yes, and plenty of brains have been scooped right on thebrainscoop! Most of the old videos from Montana are dissections/skinning and gutting/prepping animals for taxidermy.
This was terrific! It's great to see some active science projects at the museum! It's also pretty cool to cover something less _directly_ biology-focused, and seeing how it has connections to other disciplines (like our familiarity as Brain Scoop viewers with Dermestid beetles). I hope we see further follow-ups on this topic if Conservator Brown has more to present.
Loved it. I'm a docent in the Egypt exhibit at the Field and was not familiar with this mummy until your video. Such an interesting discovery. I've shown photos of Pen-Ptah's brains to visitors. Most say they look like ground beef, although one boy thought they look like a rice crispy treat.
we have a mummy at the museum I work at- in the 1880's our mummy was taken to the local hospital and an autopsy was performed on it. we have the 19thc drs notes and they are fascinating!
You almost but didn't quite touch on the politics of collection and the ethics of the 'explorers' and archeologists who collected most of the artifacts now in museums. You've done an awesome job of that in the past (I especially loved your critical but careful treatment of the World's Fair, for example), and I hope you keep it up! Maybe if you don another episode on this exhibit?!
Vlad Svoka Archaeology was a young science at the time this artifact was obtained, and a Western/ethnocentric one at that. Over the last century practices have changed, but we still have an obligation to care for (and/or repatriate) these artifacts.
***** thanks for quick reply. I don't object studying it or anything, just curious if anyone thought about values of people who are in tombs and their long dead friends. You know, they didn't sign donor agreement or donated their bodies to science.
In the case of Native American remains in the US (and probably in Canada), usually local nations have to give archaeologists permission to study the bones. In places like Egypt it is actually best for archaeologists to record and take what they can to a museum before looters get their hands on it. I think most people aren't bothered by the ethics. This mummy's family have been dead for millennia, so there is nobody around to be offended. More recent burials are usually left alone.
Emily, is there a risk of inhaling something harmful when dealing with mummified bodies? At the archive we're advised to wear facemasks to avoid inhaling mold from old documents.
I've been waiting for this video for ages! Glad to finally see the finished result. As someone interested in pursuing conservation, I was definitely geeking out big time :)
I feel like people forget that these mummies were people. That's someone's father, someone's child. They shouldn't be removed from their resting place for us to study. Our knowledge of ancient body preservation isn't important for our lives. These people's bodies shouldn't be disturbed.
I would recommend to see natural mummies if you want to study mummified brains, there is plenty of them in the southern part of Peru and the North of Chile. In the University of Chile (Universidad de Chile) we have many good specimens where you can observe them, but it hasn't been studied enough
Perhaps the story of the mummy is written in hieroglyphics on the outside of the sarcophacus? Who can say?! Keep making awesome content, Emily & Brain Scoop team!
Emily, I'm a 11 year old girl looking to be a veterinarian when I'm older however I would also love to work in a field museum, which one should I do. ps: I love your videos!
I don't know if it would be practical, but the burial ritual that intrigued me the most was that of the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers from Frank Herbert's Dune series. They would be buried vertically. with a fruit tree planted above them as the only marker. The books tell of vast orchards, each tree the site of a burial.
OMG. Thank you !! I wanted to yell "Run!! He'll steal your tongue or try to kiss you!!" This fabulous dude isn't as juicy as the guy in the movie, though. *whew.*
Very cool interview. Emily, I have been a subscriber for a long while and I just want to say how much I love your videos. Your candor, knowledge, character, and enthusiasm for learning as well as teaching are a why we all watch. Please keep up the good work. You're an inspiration.
Came back to watch this after your conversation with Caitlin @AskAMortician I would love to see an update. I think it's important for people to know what sort of considerations are going on behind the exhibits. I'd love to hear from other people at the museum, how they balance scientific and historical curiosity with cultural sensitivity. Maybe an interview with the Field's repatriation officer!
Interesting to hear that beetles potentially came along in the coffin. Were they live, or ancient? (Or were they just more of the same dermestids & blowflies they found inside the skull?) I know in herbaria, incoming specimens get frozen for a few days before packages are opened, to prevent transfer of live pests between institutions or countries. Is that part of the process with these sorts of artifacts too, since they're organic, or is that not really an issue here?
I love how she was handling the "brains" and right after handing them back rubbed her face with that same hand... The curse of the mummy will rise again... :P
I was looking for this comment and why majority didn’t point this out and she’s not wearing gloves... so gross 😷😷 I mean I’m sure she’s okay but still 🙄
Anthropologists: “ everyone knows the thing conopic jars” Me: “ what the heck is a comopilic car “ lol literally what I heard until I looked at the screen.
Mummies when unwrapped are exposed so age quicker. Some should be left alone & you don't need to research but have knowledge it will be preserved wonderfully & respect the embalmers hard work.
Hey Emily: Has the Field Museum made an analysis of those ancient dermestid beetles? It'll be amazing to see how much the species changed over the last thousand years. Thanks!
Turpentine is a natural solvent that can be used in the extraction of chemicals. The Egyptians had a special place for the eye of ra and there is substantial evidence that the eye of ra the pinecone and other things represented the pineal gland. What does the pineal gland produce, in especially high quantities after death, D M T . I wonder if they were actually harvesting that compound...
woah , i wonder what kinda information we can get from analysing or scanning or something a chunks of human brains , imagine what we'd get if we did that to this one
For centuries mummies have been dug up for sceintific and medical purposes. It can be a bit unethical to some but they are just bodies, who they were are long gone, so are their families. We wouldn't have learned the anatomy, or the ancient cultures and how the people lived. And we wouldn't be this advanced in medicine if people hadn't experimented, studied dead bodies. there are still many new things to learn.
I remember this bugs 🕷 in the movie of the return of the mummy . Men these movies all speak reality but we are too "living" or too “alive” to think . The answers to what happens after we die are all in Hollywood movies . What a world .

No they get sucked out by the nose :)
it'll be interesting if they checkout their genetic matters...
It looked like oats tbh
Wow, they did a LITERAL brainscoop.
I hope this doesn't count for as grave robbery
When does it turn from grave robbing to archeology?
Hmmm well that in itself is a rather Western view of things. If no one is here to care about them then their wishes their no longer matter.
Really? 50 years.
When there are no longer people around to have an emotional connection.
100 years with no culture or family to care? Archeology.
10,000 years, but still has a culture who feel strongly about the body and have an actual cultural or biological claim? Grave robbing.
Obviously those are the two extremes, but it's still a pretty good baseline.
An extinct civilization. We need to learn more about our past and the worlds.

woah , i wonder what kinda information we can get from analysing or scanning or something a chunks of human brains , imagine what we'd get if we did that to this one
For centuries mummies have been dug up for sceintific and medical purposes. It can be a bit unethical to some but they are just bodies, who they were are long gone, so are their families. We wouldn't have learned the anatomy, or the ancient cultures and how the people lived. And we wouldn't be this advanced in medicine if people hadn't experimented, studied dead bodies. there are still many new things to learn.
Very cool! These are the kinds of episodes I love best. :)
