I literally just watched an ad about having dry skin
bruhhhhh lol

BRUHHHHHH
Ive seen living people who look worse than this.
Dont do drugs kids.
I-💀
💀 really.....

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I'm a 12-year old man. This video scared me a lot that I wasn't able to look at the screen.
the fact we are watching this lvl of quality content for free is absolutely amazing
thank you so much for making this
It’s all fun in games until the mummy starts moving
Lol
Or curse is on you
@@kyairsoft3828 ohh the hub...
@@kyairsoft3828 what does that have to do with anything 💀💀💀
@@charliparli9058 it’s a joke
Imagine dying and then centuries later being examined in a science lab and made into a documentary.
😆
worth it
Imagine an Innuit man being shown curiosities of the 'modern', world, a museum. Seeing his own father, preserved and on display. The Innuit howls in horror. The Mummy is later buried with honour.....
I haven't heard them mention the arrowhead in Atze's shoulder. More dramatic theories I guess.
Right they’re probably gonna do it to us when we all pass on 🤦🏽♀️
I'd be pretty pleased that even centuries later, people were still interested in learning my story, and through me, the story of my people. Plus, even if souls do exist, why would anyone care? It's just a body, completely useless to them now. It's not like you can re-wear it once you shed those last 15 celestial pounds, might as well donate it. 🤷🏼♀️
Scientists: WOAHHHHH THAT AXE IS MAGICAL
Otzi: it’s just an axe bro....
In an accident with burning oil I set my hands on fire which caused 3rd degree burns. The thing I remember forty five years later was how I could feel my skin and my fingers shrivelling up as I looked at them thinking, “ I’m on fire.” The chap in Herculaneum would have been shocked but would not have suffered. It to over half an hour before I felt the terrible pain from my burns. That depth of sudden burning destroys the peripheral nerve endings and it takes the brain time to adjust. I am still amazed by that fact.
So???
Why the story??
It adds nothing to what is being said here
@@patookwy9240 those with a shred of empathy can understand the why - you don’t obviously 🙄
How awful. I can't imagine anything more painful than burns.
Thank you. It's actually kind of good to know that the soldier would have only had time to think "Oh Hades, I'm on fire" and not have time to feel physical pain before he died. Awful shock though. I hope your hands healed well enough to do things.
@@patookwy9240 It adds a lot. Some people are just not wise enough to see that, huh?
I can’t take the title seriously with the skull emoji 💀
I love learning stuff about the Pyramids and mummies. Only time I ever paid attention in history class was when we were learning about the Pyramids 😂
@@QuantumMechanic_88
There's definitely a possibility that it can be fake; but the mummy was dried up with glues so that the skins and bones didn't fall off, and history of mummy is actually real in the ancient rules.
@@QuantumMechanic_88 you are l
I find it sooo fascinating!
You sound like me
Still love reading about this time in history!
@@michellejacobs4272 ME too. Thanks..
The animations in the Ancient Ireland part are STUNNING. Bringing history to life like this is very magical. (And it was quite gruesome ...)
More modern evidence tells us that Ötzi was murdered. He was shot in the back.
All the investigation into otzi’s death indicates that he. Was killed by an arrow to his shoulder from the back and below. The arrow shaft was deliberately removed. There was also a cut on his left Palm as if he had been in a struggle with someone holding a flint knife. There’ are indications that he had descended, ascended and again descended the mountain then finally ascended again. He had also eaten a meal of almost 1/2 pound of Ibex and Eincorn wheat, before this struggle. These facts are from an intense investigation performed during an examination by many teams of scientists that removed material from his stomach, retrieved material. From which his DNA was ascertained and from the X-ray that. Discovered the flint arrowhead still in his body. From this evidence, it is unlikely that he was a sacrifice. He was murdered.
I heard about the arrowhead buried in his back too. I wonder how old this vid is?
@@folgore1 the Smithsonian video has no credits so when it was made is unknown. Some videos are still made that do not have the more recent information and therefore need updating through the comments. While speculative, my conclusion is that there were two involved in Otzi’s death. One that was attacking with a knife and the other that shot him with the arrow. There is also the possibility that while leaving the axe, some other treasure was stolen from him. Although more investigation would be required as to what would be so valuable as to cause such violent actions.
Thanks for the information regarding the likely cause of death for this man. Very sad and misfortune ending for him.
To spend eternity on display for somebody else's profit and amusement is another layer of injustice for this long-dead man. Recognizing the disrespect and inhumanity with which his corpse has been treated is another layer of sadness to his death.
@@Chris-ic6bp, Possibly so, however, even though we do mot really know anything about who he was, the facts of the age of his death,5,300 years ago and the artifacts with. Him especially his copper axe, has forced historians to consider how much earlier the smelting of copper occurred, (almost a thousand years ). While we have given him a name, his refrigerated coffin still honors him and like the Mummies in museums, when we can speak their names, they live on.
I wondered about that too. This special seems to lean rather heavily on the testimony of one specialist who seems really keen to interpret anything unknown as human sacrifice, sort of like the old Motel of the Mysteries joke about "meaning of item unclear; must be religious."
The second i saw him i knew he was the one in ye ole curiosity shoppe! How cool to see him out of his case!
Yes. I remember going to that place a lot when I was little. The pig was neat also
Yeah, I seen a story about him.
Good old Sylvester have not been to Seattle in a couple years now due to covid
Otzi was proven to be murdered, he still has the arrowhead in his back. He was killed by a coward, literally, an arrow to the back. That wouldn’t be a sacrifice. I guess this video is much older than when he was throughly examined.
Thank you.
Think of all scenarios? I've worked in healthcare, emergency, trauma etc. So many wounded or killed when turning away at an attempt to run/escape. Could be both scenarios? Was it a cowardly attack or was Otzi a nasty person & deserved what he got? Was he ostracised? A sacrifice? Was thinking that if they take his axe, would be cursed? Fascinating!
And the maiden is absolutely,stunningly beautiful!!Her hair is a perfect braid and I’m sure in life she was a gorgeous woman,I’ve been to see her twice and I am not afraid to say I wept both times,the second time I went with my wife and we wept together,something about her is a cocktail of emotion…sadness,happiness to be in her presence,inquiry about her and her life,along with her death,and a thankfulness to her,and finally anger that she was disturbed from where she lay for so long!!She is someone that invokes many conflicting emotions.But I love her as I love anyone I’ve ever personally known!!Im waiting until my children are a few years older,but I plan a trip to take them to see her when I think they may be ready to be able to handle it!!
The Maiden, exposed in glass like that...What a shame, All these should be put back where they were after they were done with them. Expose copies, they do that for paintings but they expose the corpse of real persons like they were a pottery.
Once found…grave robbers will take it all and sell in the black market to be lost to history. I do agree though she should be put to rest in secret somewhere else instead of a display.
Gives "the gun slinger that got drilled" a whole new meaning
you made me wheeze
The maiden's story was so powerful that it brought me to tears
It's a moving story, and I'm sure I won't ever forget her face. Makes me wanna travel to Peru to see her at the museum...
She was with 2 other younger children.
the case for the herculaneum mummy is compelling, heart-wrenching, and relatable. every time i learn more about this site, it really catches my interest. this was a great compilation.
Saw him at the curiosity shop, a great many years ago. Always wondered what happened to him originally, how he ended up like he did. If anyone ever missed him or thought of him. I do remember the shop people had him decently covered and seemed protective of him….
Couldn't finish as Ötzi information is quiet outdated. There's an arrow head in his chest, entered in from the traps on the backside. That's what killed him...
I agree, it is a shame the 'facts' are presented in such a way, even though it is pure speculation. The truth of Otzi's death is facinating
Ok, I have always disagreed with those who say the ax would have been stolen by a murderer. This was an incredibly rare item. It would be as if someone disappeared at work and Pete suddenly showed up driving a Ferrari that looked just like missing Fred’s Ferrari. I think he was murdered, and perhaps was able to hide from his killer (taking his food wouldn’t have been an obvious “tell”) but I think the reason all of his things were with him was that he and his killer were from the same group. If it was warfare, trophies would have been taken. If you killed your shaman, your chief or even just your wife’s irritating brother, you don’t take anything that would tell the people at home what you’d done. They would recognize his clothing and tools.
I saw 'Sylvester' a number of years ago in the 'Ye Old Curiosity Shoppe' in Seattle, WA. They had him on show standing in a glass and wood cabinet covered with just a strategically placed blanket. I can't remember what 'his story' was that the owners had concocted for him but I do have to say he was in amazing condition. Found a few years later he wasn't who they said he was and I felt sorry that he should be given a proper burial or something like it.
Who is he?
Francis Pryor! I recognize him from Time Team. He was always there for the Neolthic-era digs.
1:13 like that is a _really_ nice mustache for a dead guy.
So annoying that each segment leaves the story in mid-air about each mummy ... frustrating.
I know . like seriously. Finish the story
This is a "sampler video." Each segment is from a longer video dedicated to that particular mummy. Click under "Show More." There's a link to the main site where you can search for "Mummies Alive" to see the programs previewed here.
Lol I knew I recognized him 😂 I live in Washington and have been going there everytime I’ve been to Seattle since I was a kid. It’s awesome to learn about where he actually came from and the life he lived. Makes him more real not just a skeleton in box.
In my opinion this is one of the best videos on mummies. They give you enough information and if you want to know more you can look each one up individually. Well done 👍 in my book .
I stopped this video about every 5 seconds just to look at the mummies in amazement like this 😮
In the case of the Irish man, the name is not pronounced with the G sound, the G is silent.... It is pronounced Cro-hon. I can see the Hill Of Croghan (Crohon) from the hill behind our house, on the very edge of Kildare.
Cool, thanks Arts & Crafts Mellon👍
History is full of unsung heroes like this Roman legionary who sacrificed himself trying to keep the people at Herculaneum safe - assuming this is actually how things went down and he wasn't just some random soldier who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. At any rate I hope he can rest easy knowing the tale of his selflessness has resurfaced after all these years.
Watching mummified pharaohs are for me always interesting.
It is awe inspiring to think that these human sacrifices to the gods ended up messengers to the future descendants.

He wasn't just holding something,
he was holding his own...
Then why isn't it in his hand? Adolescent comment.
Making this axe took enormus skill...meanwhile on Cambodias 100th Primative Survival Channel " I made a bronze axe from stuff i found on a river bank in a furnace made from mud!"
In deed, I feel that, this man was a True Warrior and protector of his men in war time!
I absolutely loved this! Fascinating.
As a fellow Washingtonian I love the mystery behind our Sylvester
This is/was the most fascinating video I’ve ever watched. Thank you for showing it
5000 years old mummy ... thats a huge discovery....
Mummies amaze me
unbelievable !!!
They amaze me too, i absolutely love ancient history, and it's incredible, the ways we are trying to figure out what happened.
Your mom amazes me
@@kyairsoft3828 same, she is a great mother
@@CrystalRuizEnriquez we have same interests
I love these guys’ enthusiasm.
Powerful presentation! Wow! Really enjoyed this project!
I don't know.. In the name of science or not, I'd be nervous to disturb the dead.
Imagine the condition of those 2 people when the mummy wakes up XD
My grandmother loved old west story.If she were alive today, she would be delighted.
Italian mummy was shot and killed from behind .the arrow is still in his back...
Yes that's correct. This show is garbage.
Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your knowladge with the World! Greetings from Argentina!
Sweet upload. Cheers!!
Did you know if you have black hair it’ll turn red or blond if you’ve been underground for years
Mummies are fascinating because it's like immortality even though they are dead they don't rot away in their graves. me and my mom and dad and dumb little sister live in a house next to a giant cemetery and a lot you never see flowers on their graves they are basically forgotten. I would rather be a forgotten mummy than someone who will probably be dug up someday because they need my grave to build a Walmart.
Mummies actually are rotted bodies , the only thing that remains from the deceased is the bones , hair and thin dried up skin. All of the muscle tissue and the organs decayed that's why the body looks like dried cured meat.
@@josephbennett3482 -- Not rotted. Preserved with natural chemicals (ancient Egyptians and bog bodies) or cold, like Otzi and The Maiden. Dried cured meat or freeze dried meat is accurate. They are no more rotted than your beef jerky or leather shoes.
@@josephbennett3482 the organs are taken out in mummification
Although my English is not good, but I enjoyed watching this video..I put myself in the place of some mummies and ... excellent
imagine dying then years later your body is on display at a store
I would want that, tbh anywhere
The video does not say how it was preserved so well???
This was awesome!
Jason Priestley is the narrator! 😃
My great great grandfather was a Colorado hanging judge. My husband's great great grandfather was a horse thief who was hanged by my great great grandfather. Another one of my husband's ancestors was one of Oklahoma's first peace officers.
And so much later, their descendants married!
I know about this particular mummy! Meet Sylvester, The Mummy! All the way from Seattle, Washington! You can see him at The Ye Olde Curiosity Shooppe in Seattle, Washington!!!
Grab some amazing Clam Chowder from Ivar’s while in that area! 😋
Excellent documentary.
Everybody gangsta until the mummy moves
Perhaps I am mistaken but I have never heard of a Druid being executed. Presiding over one, yes but not of himself
This was very interesting to watch and thanks for sharing it..
Omg the guy with the black shirt talking about the old west looks like Hodor!!!
Love this channel
Great vids
I’ve got that mustache song from “A million ways to die in the West” in my head
thank you for sharing...
Fantastic discovery.
At the end, ever consider how many heroes there have been and were never to be recorded? Nobody knows that soldier’s name. I think God notices and will pay them back in the afterlife. But it is a fact that people in your own state may be heroes alive today and we do not know what they have done all to try to protect others. Bless them, whoever they were.
I saw a woman mummy when I was a kid. I was fascinated by the “fact” that her hair and nails grew after she died. Lol 😆!
This was my first look @ your channel. Excellent, entertaining video. Thank you. Subbed.
Would love to watch this but there is no closed captioning which, being deaf, I need.
I'm able to see CCs now, maybe they just added them?
Cc’s are added now!!!
You can do manual labor and not have calluses due to habitual use of emollients animal fats and petroleum jelly etc. Nails can be filed very close. Some gymnasts take a very high level of care. Brute labor. Excluded.
Good ole Sylvester taking a vacation from Ye Ole Curiosity Shoppe?
Nobody else realises this is Sylvester but you and me...fellow Seattlite!
I was waiting for them to say that's who he was. Recognized him immediately. Too funny the shop people saying "we're not famous but he is"🤣🤣
I squealed when they brought him out!
It looks like the soldier at the end was charging ppl coins to get on boats and he waited as long as he could to make more coin but left it too late.
Incredible reconstructions, wow, thank you
I've known Sylvestor since the early 1970's. Loved that shop!
a secret 💀
I love the animations
Poor ole Sylvester...the way his hands are and considering what he was, I'll bet he held a rifle....
So, anyone can buy and sell a corpse as an oddity display? This seems highly illegal, not to mention unethical! Is Andy willing to sell me his Fathers corpse, that I might display in my Freak show?
Sure, why not? He's not using it.
Quite a lesson ...... Thanks
(6:57) Wow so excited about a gunslinger mummy from the olden times!
I’m not sure I’m buying this story as no one knows about this man. However, his preservation is excellent. Perhaps better than the Egyptian mummies
I really enjoyed this. Always have had a passion for mummies
22:53 I think that the little Inca girl should be back in her place that they found her 22,000 feet in the mountains. Lay on top of her the memories of how when and where they found her. She will be best left alone. 32:29 where I wonder if the other parts of his body ever be found?
That the copper axe was left could be because it was seen in the Italian village he was last at before he was killed. Such a piece of evidence would easily lead to those responsible. In that the arrow shaft with the feathers could identify a particular person if left in the body and was discovered.
Fascinating !
Is the Maiden's alcohol proven, or just theory?
Why don't they make a facial recreation?
great story
ONLY in the US, would you have a poor mummified corpse used as an attraction! Still now the Smithsonia(ie US Gov) are making money out of this individual. RIP.
Not exactly sure how them having a mummy on display is any different than any museum with an Egyptian display of mummies. England has a huge collection of mummies and artifacts that they refuse to return because it is a money maker for them. Years ago, during England's Imperial times, the rich would have mummy unwrapping parties to increase their social standing with others.
@@lisaseverance6785 Yes, your correct and there is mounting pressure in the UK to have these types of cultural heirlooms returned to their homelands, but there is big $$£££€€ in having them. I've seen a few up close, and I've been saddened by their current circumstances. Don't forget most of these items are actually stolen at a government sanctioned level - Really sad. We need to respect the dead, just as much as the living, but perhaps that's the issue?! Keep safe and well.
Egypt also has mummies in museums & make money from admittance. Otzi is also on display in a European museum. I don't recall which country right now.
GEDmatch says I'm related to otzi how cool is that. I've seen Sylvester in Seattle in person "Go Hawks"
King tut and the other pharaohs were very old yet ancient.I love history!🤴🤴
The curiosity should had lived on IMO. when dude stuck the drill bit in his "BH" and debunked the bullet ...I was like REALLY DUDE...... WHY.
AMUN RA YES WAS THE ONE REASON THAT COMPLEX MUMIFICATION WAS SO POPULAR WITH THE DEAD BACK THEN REALITY CURSE
The Maiden is still beautiful even now.
I was in a antique shop and on a table were the bones of the captain of the ship the Lucitania. His bones were there on display for years. You could even pick them up off the table. I don’t know what happened to them after the shop closed.
one of the few mummies that wasnt beef jerkied
This technology is amazing!
Fascinating but incredibly disrespectful to just have a mummy in your shop! I’d never step foot in your store. Once I got through the Wild West one, the video became increasingly better! The Maiden was amazing and tragic. Well done.
But you will go to a museum that has a mummy display that they refuse to give back to Egypt because it is a money maker for the museum? What is the difference?
@@lisaseverance6785 Nowadays museums will trade artifacts so that people who can't travel as far can learn something they might not otherwise.
I'd rather see a model though, actual bodies on display seems disrespectful even if for educational purposes.
@@lisaseverance6785 ... The "difference" is in the blatantly ill-mannered way this human's dead corpse was gleefully displayed for profits. The disgusting lack of regard for this once living human is the "difference".
There was a time when most Americans would have been appalled by this "presentation". I am glad l was raised by grandparents from the Great Depression and WWII eras.....( dubbed for good reason: "THE GREATEST GENERATION OF AMERICANS". *NEVER ONCE* did l ever witness them treating ANYBODY with disrespect.... and that included the dead.
Shame what deterioration has happened to American ethics, standards, and morals.
@@Chris-ic6bp I don't disagree with you. I don't go to museums to see Egyptian mummies either. Because there is no difference between them and this man.
@@lisaseverance6785 ... Thanks for your additional clarification, Lisa.
