You could see how happy the DNA Doctor was when he found the fetuses. He was trying so hard to hide it, but his facial expression was heartwarming.
The fact they had to be "found" is disappointing. It lends no comfort these treasures will remain to be seen by future generations. All this stuff should have already been in climate controlled cases. It has been 100 years
@@newyardleysinclair9960 I completely agree.

Was a very intriguing story. However, the sound & video cutouts were disturbing.
I think it is used for copyright use so no copy right strike on the channel
i was wondering if that was just my phone or the actual video
😂
@@bellakatherman1477 I only came to the comments to see if it was my device messing up too🤣
I’m 10 and I can’t believe that I love these type of stuff!
I’m 68 and still love these type of stuff. I went to Egypt when I was only 8 years older than you. My love and interest started as a child watching old black and white scary Mummy movies. I must say, it was the most exciting experience of my life. If you go, the temperature was 134 degrees down in the tombs when I went, and it was a bit overwhelming. The Nile River was very polluted, and so we had to put bleach in our drinking water. It was nasty.
I was able to visit Egypt in 2018 and see the golden items of Tut's tomb and also see his large golden casket. Of course, it highly guarded and entombed in a think glass, but time stood still when you laid your eyes on it. There was no picture taking allowed, but I was so overwhelmed, out of an emotional whim, I took a photo. I took it, quick as a flash, there was security standing in front of me and the casket telling me no pics, glad they didn't make me erase it. It is my most treasured photo now. It was surreal, that at that moment, I was able o touch the belongings of the Grandest King Ever. I saw All of Ramsey's lineage of Kings, all of the Kings were there, except Tut's body, he was back at The Valley. Next year, with God's blessings, I will go to the Valley of the Kings and see this Great King.
You're so lucky 🙏🏼
He came to our local museum. But it's amazing to have the pic from the exact sight.
I was in Egypt in Oct 2019 and I too have pics from Cairo museum that I am so happy security did not make me erase...such an honor to be with my ancestors and with the help of the most high I Am going back next year to Valley of Kings and Luxor!!!! Long live the Real Royals✊🏾🌷
How utterly Amazing! I am literally speechless after reading your post!
Good on you getting that photo👍
Back in the 80 I visited the king Tut exhibit in New Orleans. That gold mask was amazing to see along with a alibaster bowel , things made thousands of years ago I'm thankful I witnessed it.
I visited the exhibit when it was in Memphis, TN. Was a really awesome experience.
Very lucky
I envy those who got to see it because it will never travel again!
@@chrischilders6239 wait what do you mean?
@@rox7027 The "Tut exhibit" is in tutankhamun's tomb where it was found in it will never travel again. It has been put back where it belongs, permanently.
ALways gr8 to see about Tut. I visted the Cairo museum 10yrs ago, was an awesome experience to see Tut and all other egyptian treasures.The museuem nearly got burnt and looted some yrs ago but fortunatelty it was saved!
Can you imagine how happy Howard Carter was when he found. The finding if a Life Time. King Tut tomb. I wonder what's all be lost because of grave robbing.
This must be an old documentary. They have since identified the mummy in the coffin of Akhenaten as Akhenaten and the "Younger Lady" as Tut's mother. Both were revealed by DNA as brother and sister.
Yes I agree it is an older documentary (it's from 2000), but you should check out what Aidan Dodson and Albert Zink have hypothesised more recently.
@@aimeedean1 Got a link to that hypothesis or could you sum it up?
The last thing i was able to find was the whole King Tut was inbreed weakling, with buck teeth, a cleft palate, large feminin hips and a clubfoot.
hit immune defense was weak from the start and he suffered from malaria, so when he suffered an injury to his knee, it became to much for his body and he died from it.
Has there been any new studies since then?
@@Erikjust There are dozens of different hypotheses out there. One of the biggest criticisms lodged of the now infamous reconstruction of his face is that those creating it were not told of the nationality so he was made with caucasian facial features, not Egyptian. These days there are better techniques which mean that they should have been able to recognise that but what can you do? Those who say he was a weakling and a poor little boy king don't know their history very well. In Ancient Egypt, at 14 you were a man (Salima Ikram) and there is growing evidence he actually went into battle as he was the great great grandson of Thutmose III who was the warrior king of Egypt. With the comments on DNA, Albert Zink and Aidan Dodson have recently said that the link of brother/sister could actually indicate a slightly further removed family relation, such as a cousin or aunt as the understanding of genetic relationships is now increasing. I don't know enough about genetics to say either way. There are lots of interesting documentaries to watch. The treasures of King Tut is a good starting point to see where a lot of new questions are now being raised.
@@aimeedean1 Yet there where several things that spoke for the fact that he wasn´t exactly a strong man, lots of canes where found in his tomb, most of them where used.
Then there was the ct scan which (from my limited understanding of such things) did prove that he had a cleft palet and club foot.
As for the cave paintings well propaganda has ALWAYS been the tool of the elites, are you going to show your pharaoh the leader of your entire realm (don´t remember if at this time the pharaohs where credited with the rising and falling of the sun, that might have been pharaohs of an earlier period) as a weakling and victim of inbreeding (though royalties at that time proberbly didn´t understand the problems associated with inbreeding, nor did those of the European monarchy for that matter as there are plenty of horror stories in their cabinet too).
Not in a million years would that ever happen, no he would have been shown as a strong warrior king, even though at best he´s actual involvement in battle might not have been that great.
Another famous pharaoh or queen in her chase Hatshepsut was also shown in statues as a tall beautiful pharaoh, even though when we examine her mummy, we can see towards the end of her life (she died at the age of 50) she was an obese balding woman, that suffered from Bonecancer, diabetes and arthritis.
Not exactly the picture you want to show to the public...
Did king tut have children
Fascinating, thank you for sharing!!! 🙏🏼
Since a kid I’ve always been fascinated with king tut. Great episode
Me too
Do you no get excited by Prophet moses (mosa) the one who got people free from the punishment of Pharo?
As an adult I ask you this: Why would you be fascinated with Tut? hes practically the lamest pharaoh. I get the childhood fascination but knowing what we know he was pretty ancillary( except for ending the 18th dynasty)Cool sarcophagus tho!
@@terrypanama8004 His story is actually very fasinating
samee
Fascinating content! Thanks for posting
Howard Carter...hmmm.. although he led the search ...this was not his discovery it was the discovery of the employee the man that found the step ...His name should morally should be added to the history books
I agree.
Even then it was about who had the most money. Sad world we live in!!!
Yes, hopefully Carter actually did some work in real life. In this show he's sitting at a table while the locals make the actual discoveries.
A young water boy named Hussain found the first step its documented!
@@jeanhartely yes he did. He went through and cataloged every discovery. It’s all in his handwriting. So he studied and cataloged everything and that took at least a decade. He did most of the work 🤷🏼♀️.

Me too! I live for this stuff
Is the video quality poor.? The audio frequently gets stuck and video has issues to. (like a stutter)
Sometimes it is impossible to watch.
People
@@charithakalupahana1532 I didn’t notice anything. Probably your wifi or phone
Such patience & perseverance in studying ancients, thank you so much for the info you are sharing.. I love and appreciate all these.. Keep going, please...
Who's watching this impeccably interesting documentary on bed......🍁
Same here now 😊👋
Congrats you hit one k cus of me :)❤️great video
Yhese Egypt people really knew how to build stuff that can last 3000 years
I know. I wish they built my last car
Ye i got to say 0-0
I'm a believer Egypt's great pyramids and buildings are alot older than they are telling us.
Add a few zeros .. remember those pyramids used to operate for millennia while under water 💦 the plateau was the bottom of the ocean
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hope those babies get proper conservation care. Not stuck is a box somewhere..:-(
Excellent documentary 👏👏👏. It feeds my thirst for history
Who loves Joanne fletcher? 😍
When I was a kid, I thought my past life was of king tut.
dude same😭😭😭
You might have been Toot not Tut.
EXTRAORDINARY DOCUMENTARY.. WARRIOR 🤴🏽
Oh they know where they are. Someone with power is deciding on whether to let the Drs know
The uniqe relief of wall, interesting focus of documentary
After seeing this documentary a great reading to supplement would be "Oedipus & Akhenaton" of Immanuel Velikovsky.
the moment I heard BYU DNA experts I said "oh shit Mormons".
so fascinating history!
The quality of this video is severely lacking. It's constantly stuttering
it's free😂
Glad to hear it. My laptop is approaching a year old & I thought it was adding more weirdness to send back to the factory :)
It's the sound that's very low.
Oh my I thought it was my internet lol
What do you expect from a video that's 20 years old?
I LOVE anything has to do w/ ancient Egypt 🇪🇬
👌
Ancient kemet
Very interesting! Thank you.
One thing I found super strange was they were worried about cross-contamination of the DNA, yet when they found the crates with the fetuses they just open them up and started poking around with no gloves on.
Yes, it's old. I went to BYU in the 1970s, and I recognize the professors from that time period.
Grrrr.
The video is very jumpy and glitchy
Very fascinating indeed.im so intrigued.
I'm like what in the world, I'm totally clueless, yet it's so interesting to watch this video, it's a different episode of my life. DNA IS TRUTHFUL. 3000 YRS now I guess we know what happened to this Royal family.
Amazing story great
It would be great if this could be restored.
I wish more sites could be restored. Can you imagine?! The absolute beauty of the pyramids as they were when they were constructed, the many tenples
The shapes the smoothness the design of their statues pillars forms all of it made without modern tools is amazi g. They may have xars and tall builders made with modern stuff but egypt moved backwards and not forward.
So... Is anyone concerned that Tut's war horn is not broken, but was broken a few months ago. Ya know, the one from ww1 & ww2?
I can't find an interest in grave robbing or it just seems to make me wonder how polishing off someone's remains at their final resting place is something to be proud of showing off that you can dig up someone's grave
watching from Fiji 1:51am
Hold on, marphan's is indeed dominant, but Akenaten's mother was a commoner. That means he might only have had one marphan's gene, thus his offspring would only have a 50/50 chance of also having marphan's depending on who the mother was and if she also had marphan's.
What is Marphans?
@@trishfevens9297 marfans syndrome. Better to look it up :)
gloria commenting; seldom-if ever mentioned - Tutankhamun had an elder brother who was twenty one years old when he died.
Amazing 😍 Nice Vlog 😍
bravos bravos!!👏Greetings
for so n it is
To whom behind the scene
Bravo bravo!!👏
Greeting 🙏friends n foes
Now with the DNA from the fetuses, you can identify or rule out who the Younger Lady is.
Your moment might be realized Dr. Fletcher.
Please rep[lace this video. the sound track is intermittently damaged and cannot be understood. What can be understood is very interesting. Please replace or repair
It’s so odd that before 1922 TuT was unknown when now the phrase King Tut is so widely known
I remember life before any kardashian was known.
Ah, the good ole days
At the time these fetuses' were miscarried they had at least two methods of terminating pregnancies, and while the Priests of Amun wouldn't have dared to kill the new Pharaoh they would have delighted in ending the line of Ankhanten. Nasty thought I know, but not out of the realm of possibility.
I thought they were both stillborn?😞
What were the methods of aborting pregnancies? I'm curious...
They were miscarried, and miscarriage is also known as spontaneus abortion.
It’s a shame the flickering was so present in this video. I realize this is an older video but inexcusable as it breaks the mind to the story.
The glitches in this video reminds me of analog tv. Great content tho.
There was also the Silver Pharaoh who got no press because of WW2
Sound quality was disappointing but I was glad to see something other than repeated slices about the Windsors.
Very interesting doco..So what happened after King Tut departed, who ruled Egypt?.Thank you for posting
Aye took over n ruled for 4 years
Aye stole Tuts tomb his wife and his life. Alot of people think Aye killed him.
Thanks for sharing
They don't look a day over 3500 years old.
Inbreeding was a very common practice during the ancient period of Egypt and it was done to make the royal line pure as possible and after generations of inbreeding many rulers became more afflicted with hereditary diseases so it must be the reason for the collapse of the 18th Dynasty of Egypt.
No surprise that Brigham young is leading genealogy. Mormons gotta know everything..
well yeah. they are very thorough with genealogy research.
At that old time , the dead bodies were bathed in molten Sulphur just to convert it In to Ironic Dead Body for longer stability of that particular Structure.
Ισως με αυτων το dna μπορουμε να δουμε αν υπαρχει γνωριμια με τους σημερινους ανθρωπους και ποιους.
Ancient Astronaut theorists suggest he was an alien hybrid.
@Reinhardt: 👽??????? No he was African --born & bred.
Loved the doco pity it is so jumpy.
I was hoping for Egypt!
A 7 month fetus miscarried is like a regular full term delivery.. sad..
the vdo and sound cutouts are making me go nuts
It is beautiful to see the mummies, but is it ethically right to remove the bodies of Egyptian royalty ?
A very good doc , a pity it is fracked .
What is mind blowing to me is everyone doesnt even know the continuation of KING TUT. He successfully lives on. BC-BEFORE CHRIST.
What do you mean? I'm very interested
Okay crazy lady
LMAO
Some people and their silly ideas. 🤣
Why weren't they wearing masks ? One to protect themselves Two to protect the mummy.?
It's funny that such an advanced ancient society eventually became such an unadvanced modern society.
It's clear you understand neither.
@@jamesforbes2205 please enlighten me then. Was ancient Egypt advanced? Yes. Is modern Egypt behind the times? Id say so. What exactly did i say that was wrong?
@@jamesforbes2205 lol James went to Egypt one time in high school so now he thinks hes an Egyptologist. If that's that's case, I watched the space shuttle launch in Florida once. Guess that makes me a rocket scientist
@@newyardleysinclair9960 I also have a degree in archaeology from McGill University where I studied Egyptology with the late Dr. Bruce Trigger perhaps the foremost archaeologist of Nubia and Kush of his generation. What is your qualification in the discipline or do you have any experience as an archaeologist?
@@newyardleysinclair9960 Behind what times? Go look at the Grand Egyptian Museum and the new city in Cairo. The New Alexandria Library. But for that matter over 5000 years Sultan Hassan Mosque is new at 750 or so years old. You have to understand the country is a thread of fertile land along the Nile less than a km wide in most places. It has been continuously inhabited for over 10,000 years. Much of the county's housing market and commercial property is 200 or more years old. Much of it considerably older than that. It was looted by the French English Germans and Italians in the 19th and 20th centuries and years of sanctions have not been kind to her but they built the Nasser Dam and moved Philae and Abu Simbel these feats of ancient rescue and restoration alone rank among the most technically sophisticated and important engineering projects for antiquities ever conceived. The county's archaeological heritage is still only breaking the surface of our world and an unimaginable amount of that history still lies buried under soil sea and sand. New Port Said and Alexandria is revitalizing with stunning new plans and the technology park that's being run out into the desert past Heliopolis will be one of the Arab world's biggest. The residential construction is massive. Eventually housing millions. Do you also spend as little time reading news and researching topics as you do everything else?
The video quality is horrible. Skipping and jumping. Not worth the time watching
At 44 minutes he talks about how there is a difference in the dna between the beginning of the dynasty and the middle of the dynasty saying there is a difference in the genetics. He says the difference is between Amenhotep 1 and Tutmoses 1. Those two kings were both at the start of the dynasty and in fact Tutmoses 1 succeeded Amenhotep 1! How then is one at the start and the other in the middle of the dynasty? Amenhotep 1 was the result of a brother sister marriage yes but then is immediately succeeded by Tutmoses 1 a completely new blood line, a new family. That change therefore is right at the start of the dynasty and not in the middle. The split is between the 2nd and 3rd kings of the 18th dynasty.
There is no split in the middle of the dynasty. It stays the same family through from Tutmosis 1 the third king of the dynasty who started ruling in 1503 bc through to Tutankhamun who died in 1323 bc. A family rule of 180 years.
Fresh blood came in continously over that 180 years as the kings did not marry their sisters until the parents of king Tut and they were the first of Tutmoses 1 family to do so. So poor Tut the product of an incestous marriage was the first in all of Tutmoses 1 line to be so. So until Tut it was a healthy enough line.
We have Marfan’s Syndrome in our family . Terrible disease .
Why were their skulls elongated?
Great technique in old time better
I've never seen this video before but that is soo weird in two thousand years from i would not like anyone digging me out the grave lol
There are too many of us now to be dug out. Only the monarchs and political leaders will matter :/
I RISE UP AGAIN AND AGAIN
gloria commenting; smenkare was tutankamunn's brother. Twenty one years old when he died.
Bummer. The vid is not good but the subject matter is very interesting. Soooo kinda worth a view.....
You got that right it kept on flipping.
See my comments, none of this stuff has any relevance to what people know. All of this video may be interesting from whatever perspective, but nothing in this video bares any relationship to Tut. The 18th dynasty was short. There is no such thing as the "house of tut" he left no genetic heirs. This video is not made to authentic Egyptologists.
It's Vicky here.The Discovery led to the sudden death,of those who found Pharaoh Tutankhamun Mummy n Treasures.His Parents before Him, reigned as Gods n so as the Boy.I know that the Egyptians,after they buried there Kings, then the Leading Priest chant very powerful Curses towards future tomb-looters.
Have you ever seen those ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs with crosses that look like Christian crosses but they're alot older than Christianity?
Ankhs?
Those are Ankhs are they have nothing to do with Christianity
I sincerely hope the new museum in Cairo has better security than the pyramids and tombs of the ancients Pharaohs since it is obvious that stealing the precious treasures of Egypt was proven the be the one thing Egyptians have no respect or regard for.
Anyone else notice this video glitches. Alot
This is from the 2000’s because he said 80 years ago it is nearly 100
Love Fram of two young cople of love :D
I would loooove to see my Warrior in person
The music in the background is distracting !
The babies were stillborn not unborn as stated here. And fully developed, too big to be fetuses.
Bothers me when certain grown adults say that Egyptians we're to dum to build the pyramids but suggest pyramids we're built by even older civilizations . 🤔 How do that make sense. They rather give credit to civilizations we have no evidence of then give it to the ones clearly built them .
From my understanding it's the sphinx that is presumed older than what modern eygptian scholars say. And it's geologist Robert Schoch that's says it (it's based on the water runoff marks found in the sphinx enclosure, it's is also because the sphinxs head. It has clearly been recalved at a later date to the rest of the body.) I think the head was re sculpted when the pyramids were built which was thousands and of years after the original structure was made
That's because it uses a lot of your brain to figure all this out but it's the most interesting thing you'll ever come across.
So what is the Mtdna ?
Mitochondria DNA mother to mother linkage
there is any egyptian right now, has identical DNA with pharaohs?
I was wondering the same thing. It should be possible to do a DNA test that would show if an Egyptian citizen had any degree of relatedness to a pharoah.
This video would be awesome to watch if it weren’t such a poor quality. I was so excited to be able to watch this, but I just can’t because the “skipping” sounds are quite annoying.
Wasn't there a door with a lock before you go into the area where the treasures were and King Tut's tomb?
Why’s it keep skipping?? Was it transferred from a video cassette?? It’s different than what it looks like when the actual TH-cam videos freeze…
How can true DNA be secured with people breathing on the actually remains?
They take the samples from deep inside in mummy, or inside bones or teeth, to avoid contamination.
Ok so, maybe I'm missing something but if there were two bodies of children in the miniature coffins, how could they be "unborn children"?
Stillborn
@@Xeidasx yes, that makes sense. But "unborn" does not.
@@GavinsMarineMom probably miscarried... and they saved the fetuses to be buried...
@@GavinsMarineMom I doubt they had a word for stillborn in ancient egyptian 🤷🏽♂️
Seriously...you can't figure that explanation out?
Just who else would be put in the king's coffin!!!!!!?
The Wikipedia article on KV55 addresses this. Remember: KV55 is a repurposed tomb used as a cache. In such cases, mummies are moved about, and some mix-and-matching can occur.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KV55
Are the members of the British Royal Family going to be dug up and put on display in another 1,000 years as a curiosity , like these royal members of the Egyptian Dynasty? They Egyptian Royal Dynasty also observed strict ritual funeral observances which they considered sacred, as well. They went to great lengths to give their royal family members respectful funerals and burials in places which they considered sacred and they didn't want these places to be disturbed.
LoL
Doubt it since the modern royal family are heavily documented and their effects on society as well as lineage won’t be a mystery like those that lived before Christ. Plus most pharaohs tombs were highly desecrated by grave robbers and the elements long before they became a matter of historical importance. I would argue that the way they are treated today has surely preserved what might have been long lost. I think their families would much prefer their contributions in this way rather than their history being lost forever. Jmo
Has the DNA obtained
been compared that of Coptic people who claim descent from the ancient Egyptians as well as the DNA of other Egyptians.( Or is this a too politically dangerous subject?)
