Conservation of a crocodile mummy 

yeeesssss, my thoughts exactly!

The fact i came from the exact same tuber. This one of them youtube binge things isn't it. Restorations.

So glad I'm not the only one!!

Me, coming from David bull then to baumgartner restoration: is that paper used in everything?

same lol just came from Baumgartner too lol

Justin Time same!!

YES

literally

Lol me tooo

same lmaooo

HAHAHA I wanted to type the exact same, you beat me to it! Thumbs up ^_^

@Jacob Zondag a quick search suggests unfortunately it was most likely killed specifically for this process :(

I can't breath

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

There was An entire city were they worshipped them, i can't remember the name of the god with the crocodile head but It was a very important one. In a part of Egypt they worshipped crocodiles in other parts they didn't. Funny thing is that there was always one croc that was the "son" of this god, usually was the biggest one, they gave him always a lot to eat things like sweetcakes and wine... so It basically was massive and drunk xD

Blue 2003 Toyota Echo I could listen to her talk all day.

Blue 2003 Toyota Echo Yes!! Watching this video I was like “she should do audio books and ASMR”

I really enjoyed listening to her

What did you do today? 'Oh I vaccuumed a B.C mummified crocodile's cracks' Oh that's nice. normal day at the office, lol :)

@@angelkotilainen soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring

imagine going out into the street after being in that miniature reality all day

@@jacobsack then don't watch it, idiot!

@@aaronjaben7913 Right!? It can be a shock just to get up from doing a puzzle or cooking for hours and experience the hectic nature of modern living. But with a project like this there's so much pressure not to mess up and you don't have a recipe or picture on the front of the box to guide you, so to be able to get into the zone and stay there while just... calmly cleaning a square centimeter of ANCIENT CROCODILE at a time with a mouse vacuum and goop on a stick? Amazing. I felt the need to elaborate on this subject but wasn't sure where to start, I'm glad someone mentioned it in the comments! It was like a writing prompt, thank you.

As long as it isn't Captain Hook, it is okay.

Probably jewelry from someone it ate.

lol

Doctor looking at the CT scan: "Hmmmm we see to have spotted human remains in this Crocodile". Me: "Is it Captain cook? The clock hands are in there right?"

@@lordgoddrid1555 Captain cook?

Omg they liked this 😂

@@Paulamdz Well now we know which one of their staffers runs the YT account

this isnt nat geo wild lol

is the black not bitumen?

great point

she mentions "bitumen surface", which is asphalt. So the final form was always black like that.

my bad ... but beeswax will oxidise to a dark color within a few years ... as people who use "granny's polish" of beeswax and linseed oil discover.

😂😂

I agree completely! Barbara's voice is incredibly soothing, I'd listen to her for hours.

I thought I was the only one who noticed her soothing voice;).

The C Word S01E02: Human Remains has some of her talking! Yes I totally searched her! starts at 24 : 20 in that video!

She sounds like she is talking in REM sleep.

Now Go Away And Do Something Good Hahahah

Angel sorry did you actually watch this video in its entirety?

They didn't die on the mom's back like that. They were just mummified that way.

@@corndog4ever I think she meant in general why did they die. My thinking is that surely they didn't all just die naturally, especially if there were possibly 30 of them. What would cause all 30 of the hatchlings to die at once? Or did those in charge of the mummification decide that this crocodile needed servants in the afterlife, so they decided to round up some hatchlings to accompany it, which also makes me skeptical about them even belonging to the larger crocodile. Did they even confirm that the crocodile was female? There are a lot of questions that this brought up for me.

@@kgrobinson007 my vote is that the hatchlings were killed for burial purposes

This crocodile is male. The hatchlings were probably sacrificed. No big deal

300?

3000, it’s from Ancient Egypt not the 17 hundreds

Such is the curse of archaeology. If you find a thing, you've more than likely already lost what kept it intact for millennia. Plus, generally, the more degradation sets in, the more rapidly things degrade.

i think you can use it for everything :p

You can observe every biological material

You can buy parts to build your own! There's even kits and instructions, which sounds like an amazing project really.

Fancy running into you here lol

Layan Harman Hope it’s going well. You are absolutely living my dream.

Thats cool

@@iLitAfuseiCantStop you could do it too !!

How did your BA go?

Mark Huicochea there isn’t really any set pathway for many museum positions, I’m pretty sure the RU-vid channel ‘the brain scoop’ has a video or perhaps a couple that address various people that work in the field museum in Chicago and how they ended up in their current roles.

knowing spelling might help...

Idk. Some Ph.D or master's in Archaeology, Biochemistry, Anthropology, or some odd science ish.

BA in conservation !

@@WardancerHB Well actually no. A lot of academics don't spell well. Not all obviously. That's why we have editors. Mark Huicochea you follow ur dream. Don't let wankers like this put you off

No worries, glad you like it!

Me too😱😱😱

Grow up

The world is built on taking peoples things or defending your own stuff from people trying to take it. Thats the way the world works.

She reminds me of uncle Colm from Derry Girls.

Ancient egyptians revered some animals as living representations of a deity. So, in this case, this crocodile was treated like a living version of Sobek, the crocodile goddess, and lived in a temple. When these divine animals died they were mummified and buried with all respect. (The Apis bull is the most famous example of this practice.) At the same time, there was also a cult of buying mummified animals and gift them as offerings to the god the animal was connected to (a mummified cat was gifted to Bastet). Hope this helped you :)

She must have been a special crocodile in some way to them, especially as they put her dead babies with her.

@@angelkotilainen It's a male crocodile

@@glorfindel. That's amazing info; thanks

mike oak Not all the time. Over time it turned into a money making scheme, and people would mummify anything and pass the mummies off as cats or crocs to sell for a pretty penny. They've found tons of mummified animals that turned out to be nothing more than garbage or bits and pieces of other animals wrapped up.

Yes, their was not a lot of metal around 3000 years ago.

Proabably Iron from a meteorite

@@khadrtrudeau1662 huh????

@@khadrtrudeau1662 what??? of course there was metal 3000 years ago

@@khadrtrudeau1662 Yes there was. It was called the Bronze Age for goodness sake lol.

She very much is
