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.
*_Google "PENMAN OF THE CONSTITUTION" then google "Who wrote the constitution.... Everything in history is a lie and note he went the rest of his life being called "penman of the constitution" while being noted as one "who did most the work".... Jefferson was exactly like Eddison!!!_*
THIS CASE PISSES ME OFF SO MUCH. I can't believe that this guy literally invented movies, something horrible happened to him, and someone else got the credit. I'm so mad.
it is really sad to be honest. I have a feeling that if we dig deep enough we soon find out that what we learn in our history class is not entirely true.
Not only did someone else get the credit, but to this day, even though the true is in Louis Le Prince' favour, Edison still gets credit. It's so sad, and like you, it pisses me off.
One of my history teachers in high school said “I’m gonna teach you the textbook version of Edison, because I have to. Then I’m gonna teach you the truth”. Edison was a hack.
"What would say if I told you the inventor of film was NOT Thomas Edison?" As someone who does not know film history but DOES know that Thomas Edison was an invention-stealing liar, I would say "That does not surprise me at all"
@@Frumpbeard That was Joseph Swan. Edison is nothing but a Thief. He tried to fool people when he was alive, little did he know generations later that all his dirty secrets will be exposed and known.
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
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.
honestly i think willhelm rontgen still sorta is known for xray cause in swedish xray is Röntgen, so in sweden he got the name atleast, but i cant deny that edison is thief and an a hole
@@idkimjusttired3296 roentgen was a unit of measurement for measurement. Im going to school to become and RT Roentgen is credited for being the father of xray this post is false
I've actually impressed my Film history & theory lecturer with the information presented here and after some extra research from both of us, my lecturer decide to update his teaching material and highlight Louis Le Prince, to take his deserved glory place in film history as the father of moving pictures. It's small but it's a start
I learned about Le Prince at a young age from my grandfather, who was a historian. This is so unfair, this guy deserved all the credit for his invention. We should be taught about him in school and textbooks, not Edison!
Bruh Prince’s son literally showed the moving picture and gave his grandmother death certificate and that she was in the film! How is that not enough evidence to show that Prince is the real inventor bruhhhhhhh! I’m angry!!!!
I've never truly trusted or liked Thomas Edison, due to the things he did as a man, this just made me dislike him even more. I'm with Shane on this, I wouldn't be surprised if it were Edison's goons
velvet sequoia Edison was not a good person at all. He took immense pleasure in other’s suffering, especially at the hands of his own invention, the electric chair. He also enjoyed electrocuting animals to death to make examples of them.
Honestly this reminds me of the Space race and today's tech races (i.e. 5G war). I think countries actively competing and industrial spies were a real thing during the Industrial Boom. I think he was another victim like Tesla, Edison was just happy to reap the rewards through the U.S. legal system.
I totally agree. Really in regards to Edison in general, it's known that he stole ideas pretty often so I really think schools should stop giving him all the credit. At the very least mention that it's likely most of what he's known for probably wasn't truly all his work.
Louis Le Prince: *disappears* Edison: *finally he "invents" movies* Adolphe: *testifies against Edison* Edison: ... Adolphe: *found dead* Not suspicious at all my dudes
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
Edison - he's that one guy in your team who takes all the credit for a project you all worked on while he did nothing. The history books must be updated. Put the names of the rightful inventors next to their inventions! Don't put Edison! Update: thank you so much for all the likes. And I just realized that Ryan and Shane could have included Louis Le Prince in their seance session in "Weird and Wonderful World" on their Watcher channel. They could have asked Louis what really happened to him!
If you live in america then thats a no cause its American history not French history I am learning french history and they talk about him most of the time
From now on i will always correct people by saying *Louis Le Prince* was the true inventor and father of film. Hopefully this video blows up, helps, spreads and brings Louis back to life with his name in the history books as the true father of film.
deadlyNightshade789 yes your sooo right ! I don't wanna watch this . I mean I am fast forwarding this video . IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL SUCH A TALENT NEVER TO BE HEARD IN HISTORY !
Imagine as a child you see your father working countless hours into the night, whimsical pictures around the walls, and seeing the invention of the first movie only for him to disappear at the time his debut only for another man to later make the same thing years later but you have proof he did it first but can do nothing. This makes me sad :(
i know that edison stole one of teslas inventions and he was credited for his work but which invention was it, I remember it being the lightbulb but he stole that from joseph swan
Back in high school history, I learned that Thomas Edison didn't even invent the light bulb. From what I remember, Edison had an assistant who invented most of it and then Edison fired him and claimed the invention.
Maryam Yeah, Thomas Edison was a real asshole. He also destroyed Tesla's legacy too. I don't think he had any qualms about offing people for his own benefit.
People like you and your hashtags are so annoying. You think Louis is somewhere in the afterlife reading social media waiting for his name to pop up in hashtags? Some of you people really need to get a grip on reality.
Very sad that louis took almost a lifetime to make something very revolutionary then another person gets all the credit in the history books. Glad to know the truth. RIP Louis le prince.
Double Guitars Agreed. I mean the man was well into his 80s, hardly slept, and ate an incredibly limited diet. I'm shocked he lived to such an advanced age to begin with.
mrs obama it’s even worse when u realize that the whole reason he did it was to discredit nikola Tesla’s invention of AC to make Edison’s DC seem better. By the way, most lights today do not even utilize Edison’s direct current, yet he still largely gets credit for it
actually, he's also the one who suggested death penalty by electric chair using AC, to associate Tesla's invention with death. So yes, he indirectively electrocuted human to death too.
Big Long_Now_Nirvana Edison murdered the guy. No joke. It’s new evidence that came out after this. In a journal found by someone confirmed to be Edison’s, dated sep. 20 1890, said something along the lines of “I was called from Dijon. Prince is no more. Murder is not my thing, but it had to be done”
UnPhayzable ♥♥♥OR MAYBE, IT WAS ACTUALLY THOMAS EDISON, HIMSELF, WHO KILLED LOUI LE PRINCE AND STOLE LOUI'S WORKS.

Edison was a fucking selfish-ass trash-ass greedy monster and Tesla for sure never got the recognition he deserved. I literally didn't even learn about Tesla in school ffs.
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.
well... Edward Muybridge was even before him, with his Sallie gardner at a gallop. But that is discutable, because that was made as a some sort of gif, i dont know....
It's clear that Edison stole the idea though. He lived in the area at the time that Louis disappeared along with the briefcase and lastly, I am sure Edison knows the rules of a missing person patent, so he took this time to get it out there before Louis's family did
My theory is that when Louie boarded that train, the train traveled into an alternate universe where Louie showed his motion picture and was crowned the father of moving pictures.
I love how Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Edison were both considered revolutionaries and amazing men, then historians just had enough and publcily released all this information onto the internet. I'm so proud :')
@@fcalvaresi slave owner, for one. he also had "relationships" (ie, he forced himself upon these women) with his slaves and had at least one baby with them. i don't remember much else bc us history isn't something i rly focus on (scottish lol) but that's the stuff i know off the top of my head
This is why I have no respect for Edison as an inventor. He was an incredible businessman, even selling off electricity to the dismay of Tesla, but not an inventor. He even bought the patent for the lightbulb, then paid people to make it better.
Terence Andrei Calma as well as cats and dogs. edison was just a horrible person all the way around and does not deserve the respect and recognition so many people give him.
That why I live be the quote by j Cole “if they don’t know your dreams than they can’t shoot em down” best to do everything yourself because other people would scheme and take advantage
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...
You do realize Hitler killed many put people in jail for no reason he was a horrible person way worse he chooses to take his life so he wouldn’t go to jail he even took over country’s so nicely like to tell you to shut up 🤐

Side Note:- In 2003, the Paris Police, while going through old archives discovered a photograph of a man who strongly resembled Louis Le Prince drowned in a river near to the tracks where the train Le Prince boarded was supposed to be going through, its most likely Edison's men stole his suitcase in the train itself and threw him out of the train into the river, the date on the photograph was also written around late Sept 1890, around the time Le Prince disappeared.
DO A VIDEO ON “TWO PRINCES IN THE TOWER” It’s been unsolved for over 500 years! Prince Edward and prince Richard, heirs to england. Edward was locked in the tower waiting to get crowned, Richard there for moral support, both vanished and no one really knows what happened
Omg that's such a good idea!!! I'm british and I learned about the princes in the tower in primary school. It is, in my opinion, one of the best unsolved mysteries of all time. It's so confusing!!!
ohhhh that one is perfect!!! Then later on they found thier dead bodies under the stairs leading to the tower. It was hidden and no one noticed it right away.
Stories like this frustrate me to no end!! It’s so unfair for Le Prince and his family! Let’s not forget, Edison killed a fully grown elephant trying to prove that Nikola Tesla’s invention was “dangerous”! Edison was a lying sack who is NOT as great as everybody thinks he is!
Hey ace, Slow Down. There’s plenty (unfortunately) of real life evil and racial discrimination/violence you could be directing your anger towards. The original comment didn’t make any mention of race and she wasn’t trying to obfuscate any seedy ideas either. Save your breath for the real dirtbags, is all I’m saying.
My heart aches for this guy. To have spent so much time and money coming up with a revolutionary invention only to disappear and have someone else be known in history as the inventor.
Andres Cruz okay, which sentence makes you sound like a psychopath: 1. Movies does not sound like a real word now. 2. Movies do not sound like a real word now. 🤯🤫
Also, it was Warren LaRue who invented the lightbulb. Edison and everything he “invented” was a lie, and I’m kind of angry about it because there were amazing people who should’ve gotten credit for progressing science. In case you haven’t noticed, I have strong opinions on history.
not quite. but he did took credit one way or another for many inventions including the lightbulb (it really was, combined effort of many different people, but he's known for it as perhaps the biggest credithog of all)
I come from the same country as Tesla and I have to tell ya, overhear we have museums and events dedicated to him where we eveb display things that Edison stole from him. His hometown is very proud and they kept his house in its original state.
I come back to this episode often, and am always filled with rage at the injustice of his name being forgotten, and with sadness at how hard his family continued to fight for him. Louis, I promise if anyone eever brings up Edison as the inventor of moving pictures, I will absolutely correct them.
edison was actually known to have stolen ideas from others. alot of people would tell you that he invented the light bulb, but it was 2 men called humphrey dave and joseph swan, and to give proof, they actually won a law suit against him over the stolen idea of the light bulb
Petition to remove Edison from our science books because he was stealing other peoples ideas and finally give the actual inventors the credit they deserve
Yanfei_101 Alissa_101 even now, everyone is taught he didn't invent the lightbulb. Lightbulbs existed prior, Edison is just credited for the incandescent lightbulb, which functioned better
the saddest thing is that this is extremely common. people stealing others work. even in academia, professors often take credit of their graduate students work and is even more often if that student is a woman. luckily these events are coming to light
Chrisman77 beer, dishwashers, monopoly, windshield wipers, solar heated homes, computer software, kevlar, caller id, home security systems, stem cell isolation, space station batteries and so much more.
@@jemimah7241 Yes! beer! Brew-masters were women and actually that's where the the concept of witches come from. Brew-masters were women who owned cats to eat the rats, had broom-sticks to sweep up grain, and wore big pointy hats to advertise product. Also fun fact: beer was originally a women's drink because of its low alcohol content.
Edison was a thief. The Simpsons have even stated this in an episode "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace", when they claim Edison was still "inventing" and stole Homer's idea of the electric hammer, and 6-legged chair.
People don’t realize how much power the patent office has. They literally make the rules. So they can say “that isn’t possible, so we won’t go through with this invention being licensed because that’s crazy. Take care now bye bye then”
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 think it’s crazy how some of these unsolved episodes it’s clear who did it but because of circumstances and lack of evidence they Remain officially unsolved
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
Bionicmissy1 Yeah tesla invented the light, and Edison invented a glass bulb to put over it. And somehow everyone thinks that Edison invented the lightbulb
i'm going to go ahead and be and old lady and say-- is that a thing now? That the kids say? Cancelled and started? Because I love them both and might start using them :p
Yeah i was going to say, Tesla was robbed too, but luckily people recognize or the very least know about Tesla's achievements. Where as until this video I'd never heard of Louis before.

From now on i will always correct people by saying *Louis Le Prince* was the true inventor and father of film. Hopefully this video blows up, helps, spreads and brings Louis back to life with his name in the history books as the true father of film.
Please don't be that asshole.
mauricio medina agreed. I am so thankful for the episode so the right inventor can be known.
AMEN.
Do You know Louis Le Prince?
im postn it on social media
IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW this is so sad, I feel so bad for this guy (almost 130 years in the future)
Me to
deadlyNightshade789 j
Sameee I’m mad af
deadlyNightshade789 yes your sooo right ! I don't wanna watch this . I mean I am fast forwarding this video . IT MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL SUCH A TALENT NEVER TO BE HEARD IN HISTORY !
Edison was the original Gilderoy Lockhart
Skullyz1995 this is genius 😂😂😂 I'm dead
Oh my gosh
except he didn't obliviate them instead killed them
Maya Adams or maybe he used obliviate on le prince himself so he forgot where he was supposed to go and "disappeared"
Aditi Rao haha good point but it's more likely he killed him
Interesting how Louis disappears than a year later Eddison starts shooting motion pictures.
Or how his patents were useless until 1897, and Edison was projecting movies in 1896
Imagine as a child you see your father working countless hours into the night, whimsical pictures around the walls,
and seeing the invention of the first movie only for him to disappear at the time his debut only for another man to later make the same thing years later but you have proof he did it first but can do nothing. This makes me sad :(
And also the theories don’t really have much proof behind them, so it’s hard to even guess what really happened.
Thomas Edison is the real-life Gilderoy Lockhart
HAHAHA
ᴏᴍʟ ʟᴏʟ 😂
No, Lockhart was at least funny and got his comeuppance
THATS WHAT I SAID
Ouchh, Also hello fellow Potterhead!
Thank you BuzzFeed, for this education.
Edison will always be a thief, Y'all know about Tesla?
i know that edison stole one of teslas inventions and he was credited for his work but which invention was it, I remember it being the lightbulb but he stole that from joseph swan
Everybody knows about tesla
@@peenyyt4921 thanks to the ones who put his name up there, Making him justice.
Yeah Nikola Tesla the inventor of Tesla Coils, the Radio & the Remote Control.
@@adambump5297 radar too I guess
Back in high school history, I learned that Thomas Edison didn't even invent the light bulb. From what I remember, Edison had an assistant who invented most of it and then Edison fired him and claimed the invention.
Maryam Yeah, Thomas Edison was a real asshole. He also destroyed Tesla's legacy too. I don't think he had any qualms about offing people for his own benefit.
Your thinking of Nikola Tesla
God Actually, no, it really was Edison.
Tamaki742 the only thing edison did was make it practical, it's like saying Steve jobs invented smartphones
No. It was a canadian guy, can't remember the name.
Let's make this video trend and give back atleast some of the recognition that Le Prince truly deserved. #LouisLePrinceFatherofMotionPictures
Stephen Anna Marydas yes!
People like you and your hashtags are so annoying. You think Louis is somewhere in the afterlife reading social media waiting for his name to pop up in hashtags? Some of you people really need to get a grip on reality.

silverbird58 Mind Blown 😮

Let me add in the fact that Edison electrocuted an elephant to death.
Yami are you serious what a piece of garbage
Aliceyorkie1 4 yeah her name was topsy :(
mrs obama it’s even worse when u realize that the whole reason he did it was to discredit nikola Tesla’s invention of AC to make Edison’s DC seem better. By the way, most lights today do not even utilize Edison’s direct current, yet he still largely gets credit for it
Did u get this info from a Bob’s Burgers episode 😂 bc I totally remember that episode
actually, he's also the one who suggested death penalty by electric chair using AC, to associate Tesla's invention with death. So yes, he indirectively electrocuted human to death too.
Im glad this subject is being covered on such a big platform and gathered so many views. Le Prince deserves all the credit and historical praise
Mom: Why are you building a time machine?

This is literally so depressing. I loathe people who take other people’s ideas. It just isn’t fair. I never realized how disgusting Edison was.
Big Long_Now_Nirvana Edison murdered the guy. No joke. It’s new evidence that came out after this. In a journal found by someone confirmed to be Edison’s, dated sep. 20 1890, said something along the lines of “I was called from Dijon. Prince is no more. Murder is not my thing, but it had to be done”
@@Chasingrail where did you find that evidence? :0 that's so interesting

He's gotta defend his relatives, y'know? The Ents and the Squatches, they go way back.
I mean Edison also fucked around with Tesla's inventions as far as I know, so I'm really not suprised about him being involved in this 🤔
Edison was a fucking selfish-ass trash-ass greedy monster and Tesla for sure never got the recognition he deserved. I literally didn't even learn about Tesla in school ffs.
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.
If Tesla's electricity is harmless why aren't we using it to fix our problems?
It isn't, it also wasnt proven to accually work
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.

Le ghost of Louis price : am i a joke to you 👻
It's clear that Edison stole the idea though. He lived in the area at the time that Louis disappeared along with the briefcase and lastly, I am sure Edison knows the rules of a missing person patent, so he took this time to get it out there before Louis's family did
My theory is that when Louie boarded that train, the train traveled into an alternate universe where Louie showed his motion picture and was crowned the father of moving pictures.
lol
I wanna cry. I hope thats true
Aww

It must be true

@@pixel_cookie148 Tons of the founding fathers did that.
@@Chris-ks4sw Yet Americans act like they were freedom fighters lol. They were awful
This is why I have no respect for Edison as an inventor. He was an incredible businessman, even selling off electricity to the dismay of Tesla, but not an inventor. He even bought the patent for the lightbulb, then paid people to make it better.
Exactly, he uses the laws to his advantage to steal others ideas.
Schools should teach that though Edison is the legal inventor, Prince made it first.
Terence Andrei Calma lol
Terence Andrei Calma as well as cats and dogs. edison was just a horrible person all the way around and does not deserve the respect and recognition so many people give him.
That why I live be the quote by j Cole “if they don’t know your dreams than they can’t shoot em down” best to do everything yourself because other people would scheme and take advantage
My respect and admiration for Thomas Edison just went down the drain. Louis Le Prince is the REAL MVP.
Arvi Marie
Yes!
Arvi Marie yepp
Arvi Marie I still respect him
Went down long time ago when I heard the story about Tesla
Arvi Marie read about all the stuff he nicked from Tesla. He was a business man and a bully
Well here’s one thing, if Louis Le Prince was the inventor of The Movie, he is in my top list of people that made my life better.
Yeah, I can't believe that I've never learned about him! It makes me mad that they think Thomas Edison evented it
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.
Then this sounds like you solved the case.
is there a source for the french police thing I'm doing a report on him
@@poopypants9670 no this is my own assumption
woah...this theory is actually good 0-0
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...
Adolphe was just trying to root for his dad and he ends up dead how unfair

There's no way he would be unhappy with his invention and just not go to New York. Edison must have something to do with it

Side Note:- In 2003, the Paris Police, while going through old archives discovered a photograph of a man who strongly resembled Louis Le Prince drowned in a river near to the tracks where the train Le Prince boarded was supposed to be going through, its most likely Edison's men stole his suitcase in the train itself and threw him out of the train into the river, the date on the photograph was also written around late Sept 1890, around the time Le Prince disappeared.
DO A VIDEO ON “TWO PRINCES IN THE TOWER”
It’s been unsolved for over 500 years! Prince Edward and prince Richard, heirs to england. Edward was locked in the tower waiting to get crowned, Richard there for moral support, both vanished and no one really knows what happened
Omg that's such a good idea!!! I'm british and I learned about the princes in the tower in primary school. It is, in my opinion, one of the best unsolved mysteries of all time. It's so confusing!!!
YES!!!!
Richard, Duke of York and Regent of England... The future Richard III, King of England and King of France, had them murdered..
Lol r u posting this on every video 😂
ohhhh that one is perfect!!! Then later on they found thier dead bodies under the stairs leading to the tower. It was hidden and no one noticed it right away.
Stories like this frustrate me to no end!! It’s so unfair for Le Prince and his family!
Let’s not forget, Edison killed a fully grown elephant trying to prove that Nikola Tesla’s invention was “dangerous”! Edison was a lying sack who is NOT as great as everybody thinks he is!

They are already judged

Edison is the killer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, this was a really great episode. We got a good mystery as well as a history lesson. :)

Kiamatra TT no you didn't actually you used in the wrong context it didn't even make sense you were being corrected because your stupid
So basically edison was a fake ? this made me sad i think they might've abducted him stole his invention and maybe killed him.
Edison only cared about money. He’s a thief and a fraud, stealing other people’s work and patenting them so they can’t take credit for it.
Also, it was Warren LaRue who invented the lightbulb. Edison and everything he “invented” was a lie, and I’m kind of angry about it because there were amazing people who should’ve gotten credit for progressing science. In case you haven’t noticed, I have strong opinions on history.
Yeah Edison didn’t really invent anything, he just bought others people’s inventions and patents
not quite. but he did took credit one way or another for many inventions including the lightbulb (it really was, combined effort of many different people, but he's known for it as perhaps the biggest credithog of all)
Edison did the same to Tesla smh
I never liked Edison.. He used to harrass Teslaa who could have changed the world. That guy had issues from childhood.
Atharv Chaudhary Tesla was a lunatic who was nearly incoherent by the end of his life.
死んだ赤 He was completely insane at the end as he started loving pigeons but sometimes old age does that to u and u can never question his genius..
Elon Musk doesn't named his company after Edison
He killed many animals with electricity not just a elephant.
I come from the same country as Tesla and I have to tell ya, overhear we have museums and events dedicated to him where we eveb display things that Edison stole from him. His hometown is very proud and they kept his house in its original state.
I come back to this episode often, and am always filled with rage at the injustice of his name being forgotten, and with sadness at how hard his family continued to fight for him. Louis, I promise if anyone eever brings up Edison as the inventor of moving pictures, I will absolutely correct them.
His case would make a really good story for a movie.
Rachel Kingston it’s a poptropica island so we have some script already!!

edison was actually known to have stolen ideas from others. alot of people would tell you that he invented the light bulb, but it was 2 men called humphrey dave and joseph swan, and to give proof, they actually won a law suit against him over the stolen idea of the light bulb

the saddest thing is that this is extremely common. people stealing others work. even in academia, professors often take credit of their graduate students work and is even more often if that student is a woman. luckily these events are coming to light

@@jemimah7241 Yes! beer! Brew-masters were women and actually that's where the the concept of witches come from. Brew-masters were women who owned cats to eat the rats, had broom-sticks to sweep up grain, and wore big pointy hats to advertise product. Also fun fact: beer was originally a women's drink because of its low alcohol content.
Edison was a thief. The Simpsons have even stated this in an episode "The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace", when they claim Edison was still "inventing" and stole Homer's idea of the electric hammer, and 6-legged chair.
People don’t realize how much power the patent office has. They literally make the rules. So they can say “that isn’t possible, so we won’t go through with this invention being licensed because that’s crazy. Take care now bye bye then”
somehow I wouldn't be surprised if Edison bribed the patent office to keep le prince's patent vague.
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 think it’s crazy how some of these unsolved episodes it’s clear who did it but because of circumstances and lack of evidence they Remain officially unsolved
this was the saddest episode yet
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
So Louis is also the Godfather of modern Gifs?
