    It's pretty sad. Dying just before you become one of the greatest inventors in history. Having your son killed because he tried to protect your legacy. It's depressing.

      I know right. For some reason i feel sadder about this story more then other stories covered on this show. Probably because this story wasn't all down, this man probably was feeling on top of the world when he was kidnapped and most certainly killed.

    People Edison stole from:
    -Tesla
    -Joseph Swan, the ACTUAL inventor of the lightbulb
    -Louis LePrince
    -Wilhelm Rontgen, inventor of the XRay machine
    -Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, inventor of the sound recorder
    EDIT: To everyone saying that Rontgen received credit, it is true, but as soon as Edison heard that such an idea was possible, he tried to build his own X-ray machine with the intent on taking credit from Rontgen. He stopped working on his X-ray machine when it killed his assistant Clarence Dally. Thankfully everyone still acknowledges who the real inventor was but it could’ve easily went the other way

    • @Pbg_Gonefishing
      @Pbg_Gonefishing 4 ปีที่แล้ว +212

      Before Joseph swan was Warren De la Rue who made the light bulb in 1840 but it wasn't economically cost efficient. But I agree plenty of people made it before Edison got the credit which is bogus.

      I don't think it's incorrectly taught for the most part. Rather different parts in the world will tell it differently depending on what side they were on and their perspective. Great example for this the 80 year war between Spain and the Netherlands. I was taught that us the dutch were finally free and spain was oppressing the dutch and mistreating them. But someone from spain might tell it differently. Really you'll get what really happened if you take all the sides and pick out all the facts that BOTH or more parties all agree up on

THERE IS ALSO A BIG POSSIBILITY THAT THIS SPECIFIC KIND OF CRAFT HAS ALREADY BEEN EXISTING WITHIN SOME SECRET POWERFUL FAMILIES WITH KNOWLEDGE AND CAPABILITY INHERITED FROM THEIR GREAT GREAT GRANDPARENTS SINCE THE FAR ANCIENT PAST, PROBABLY EVEN BEFORE THE GREAT WORLDWIDE FLOOD. THE PRE-FLOOD HUMAN CIVILIZATION WAS VERY POWERFUL AND OVERWHELMINGLY SOPHISTICATED BECAUSE THEY HAD THE 200 ANGELS, AND CHILDREN OF THE 200 ANGELS, LIVING AMONGST THE WHOLE HUMANITY.

    • @LunaDelTuna
      @LunaDelTuna 6 ปีที่แล้ว +232

      Exactly! Tesla's electricity was supposed to be free and energy efficient. Edison's direct current (combustible) electricity is actually harmful to the environment in comparisons to Tesla's alternating current which was in a sense using the electromagnetic fields of the earth in a way that was harmless. Also, the reason Edison's idea won over Tesla's is because people would have to be charged to use it, meaning more money for the people providing it. If you are interested you should look up the Ancient Egyptian pyramids, solely the middle one where scientists are starting to believe it was used as a type of electricity for the civilization, JUST like Tesla's tower.

      Because he wasn't going to charge people to use it, like I clearly stated earlier. People (by people I mean the one's controlling our technology) don't want to provide us free anything because then they would not be making any money. It's pretty simple.

    @LoneStarCowboy1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +345

    My theory is simple he was robed sometime after his brother saw him last, note that in 1890 and still today Paris was notorious for petty crime like theft and it was not unusual to be robed in Paris especially if you you were not from there. During the robbery, one or more men tried to steal his brief cases which probably escalated into some type of fight between Louis Le Prince and the robbers, probably because Louis knew that important documents were in the brief case and he did not want anyone to steal his idea. The fight probably ended with Louis beaten and the robbers angered after the discover only drawings and nothing in their minds of important value. Now angered and pissed off that Louis did not have anything important in their minds in his briefcase, they then probably proceeded to toss his briefcase and papers along with his either concision or unconscious body into the river. Due either to his injuries or unconscious Louis probably drowned.
    Note: the French police pulled a unidentified man who look very similar to Louis Le Prince from the Seine River the same day he went missing.

      His friends were waiting to pick him up in Paris. This would mean that he would have been "robbed" at some point during his trip to Paris. This raises the question: how could this robbery have gone unnoticed? How could they have dumped his body without anybody else noticing? Not that it matters, but Louis was a large man standing at 6'4...

      patents were invented by the west after stealing from and colonizing the whole world to make the future generations fools, inventions are meant for social good, and they should be treated that way, scamming people in the name of patent is unscientific and unethical. Patents is the 21st century way of the elites to keep the world colonized, i hope foreign governments realize this bullshit and simply copy everything they can for their own people regardless of who owns the patent.

    I feel like we're at a time in history where we could go back and give proper credit to those who actually deserved it the most. Also bizarre to me as I watch these, a lot happened in the world during 1888 and such. Imagine creating moving pictures while the same time something like Jack the Ripper was doin his thing. Like we kind of isolate and look at history piece by piece but a lot happened at the exact same time
