there is a fairly recent video of someone showing the egyptian stuff in the vatican, there is a lot of it there. Only made me wonder how much more is hidden there.
@@erics320 a lot of things, we, the people, will never get to see, as we aren't considered 'woke enough'. On that, I've got news for the Vatican & they won't like the fact, that the people the church has abused for so long, are more woke, than many within the church 'emplyees'.
The country of origin you want to return this to was and often still is one that left this stuff to rot and be vandalised! Perhaps the museum saved these pieces before they were sold onto many private collectors and forgotten forever.
If the museum sends everything back, the museum won't have much to display. What makes the British Museum great is the ability to see the connections between all these different cultures in one place
Britain was invaded for thousands of years before it decided to never look to the horizon once more in fear its need to control and to catalogue everything you could say in part was driven by the need to be in control of this fear. What you fail to understand is this world is born from chaos.

I dragged two mates there a few days before lockdown, they weren't that interested and it ended up a whirlwind tour. Tried to explain the polished/symmetrical statues could only be done with advanced tools and one friend said you can do anything with a pounding stone and gritty sand if you spend long enough over it...it was a dispiriting visit, I need to go back at my own pace. So, Jahannah, happy to meet you in there next time, I'll hold the camera for you!
Lol, I feel your pain. When I try to talk about this stuff with my friends their eyes roll in the back of their heads, and theyre more interested in culture war issues or buying the latest iPhone, or whatever. It's not even worth the effort anymore
@@keirangrant1607 I was in one of those culture war echo chambers and things just started to not make sense, so basically I got red pilled out of it and now these videos are helping me keep from getting too depressed over the state of things currently.
Im very much with you, my other half rolls her eyes at the thought of any giddy tech back when . And scowls at me thats its all hype and click bait .So a mare to agree on places to go without that married couple bickering . LOL
You see the early vases look way more advanced than the later versions. In his lectures, Graham Hancock mentions the possibility of a reset of humanity, the Egyptians didn't build the pyramids but rather stumbled upon them, buried under the sand in the Sahara. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!
The same thing with the hard stone vases & pots that have been made on a lathe of some description, with a great deal of precision - just as with All the other pre BCE oopart's, world wide.
I love hearing Hancock speak, unfortunately he gets a lot of criticism along with those he cites (schoch, west etc). It does seem that some of his ideas are wild speculation based on some times incomplete or unverified data, but I definitely think he's on to something, and there ARE a lot of buries/flooded sites (gobekli tepe, yonaguni possibly, the richat structure) and 'out of time' objects (e.g. the antikythera mechanism) that demand a reevaluation of what we 'know' (e.g.
No, nothing gets returned. History is what it is, it’s location is part of its story. What an outstanding museum visit. I’ve been a few times and not noticed these things.

How excitable she is for a subject that soo many people may never even give a thought to their entire life in the modern age. Its awesome and extremely admirable I reckon. Also fairly ludicrous! I am convinced JJ is a reincarnate of an eccentric grey haired old man philosopher! lol and I wouldn't have it any other way...
The only reason why the Pyramids exist in Egypt? Because they were too heavy to put in the British museum. Old joke but a classic 😀. Haven’t been since I was child, looking forward to your video.
Wow Jahannah!! You have the Legendary Brien Foerster leaving comments. 3:36 Brien tells everyone those would have to made on a lathe with a diamond cutting tool.
Next museum in London that it would be amazing for you to go to is the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, with all the tube drills and everything else he found.
good video! I gotta get there one day. Along with the Petrie Museum. Chris Dunn did some analysis of the 'Ramses' head that's in the British museum in his book.
@@bryankrall ben might provide a more in depth analysis of such artifacts, but jahannah is reaching out to a wider audience, who just might look at Ben's videos as a result. Both are doing their bit to instill a culture of questioning the mainstream views, in their own ways. Not all people want scientific research, others simply need witty soundbites. Thank you both for what you do.
Hi Jahhna and Ben, I always watch your videos with great interest. It seems to me that a lot of Egyptian artifacts can be divided into those that are amazing, but could have been created with primitive technology, and those that cannot be explained by such methods. As for most of the Egyptian small stone containers, perhaps they were made using methods like in the video below? I am very curious what you think about it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dC3Z_DBnCp8.html
Johanna makes me feel like I'm rediscovering all this stuff for the first time again. It's a great experience because it reminds me just how incredibly important it is to discover our true history.
Brien I dont mean to be mean but I love you and your videos but sometimes you over look some intriguing things in Peru, yes they are small things but try to analyze everything at those sites!! Maybe you have and dont wanna go over them again I get that and I’m a late fan of yours so maybe you have gone over them so I apologize if I’m stepping out of line!! I’m currently trying to save enough money to go on one of your Inca tours!!! Whether it’s a crash grab or not I appreciate your work and appreciate you bring hidden info to light. All want to do is go around the world and discover more polygonal masonry!! I’m currently trying to get enough funds together to go to some interesting sites in the United States that native Americans hold sacred and dig illegally to find polygonal masonry. I believe the natives had an architecture comparable or even crazier than Egypt but after the flood that graham hancock and Randal Carlson have proven true it’s really wiped out. Nowhere else in the world do we find giant chunks of broken granite laying around the surface and half under it other than the United States!!!! no ones excavating cuz it’s all in protected forest preserves!!! Thank you for your admiration on these subjects have a nice day!!!! I hope to enjoy your company on a hidden Inca tour in the near future!!!!

When travelling is bit more easier, You should definitely visit India, specially tamilnadu and karnataka. The marvels of artistry there is just incomprehensible by out today's knowledge and technology. From the precise execution of designs to well polished hard stones in the temple premises which are vaguely dated by mainstream archeology are stupendous sights as well as mind boggling. I too am looking forward for a road trip for research purposes. Namastey from Himalayas of Nepal! Great Content Jahannah Please keep in coming.
I bet if you could get to the artefacts that aren’t on display we would know everything about that time and all about the pyramids and before but for some reason it feels like they don’t want anybody to know the facts about the past just my thoughts.
One day Jahannah i would love to go to the British museum with you, we can hunt for ancient tech together and have a really dope day. that would be an amazing experience. I'll be in the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden in August, maybe one day you will accompany me there as well 😉
hiya, Klee! a reply to your comment talks about you two making a video, someday. i agree, wholeheartedly! i would like to see your two brains in action, together. would be epic!
@@finnmccool4943 ok, i checked it out. but, the rock was relatively soft and it took 6 months of 6 to 8 hrs a day. granted, manhours were cheap and,almost, mandatory for some folks. so, yeah, it can be done, i suppose. so, replicate a statue of the quality of the earlier Egyptians in granite or diorite. then, lets talk. i'm not into ancient aliens or anything like that. i believe our ancestors were capable of amazing things. i just have a hard time believing that there was NO technology OF SOME KIND that they availed themselves of. we know that a huge amount of knowledge was lost in the burning of Alexandria. some things persisted, others died out. if a procedure is not used, it is, eventually, lost. the artifacts we are discussing are ancient, attributed to PRE-DYNASTIC Egyptians. so, about 5500 to 6000 bce. a lot can be forgotten in 7 to 8 thousand years! just look at what has happened in the last 2 HUNDRED! sorry, Finn. sometimes i get carried away. so, so interesting.
I would definitely watch a 6 part series,... I was lucky to be touring in a band in 1988 and spent a little time in the London museums.... I will be going back as soon the world gets it act together!
In case you did not know Jahannah, (I don't think you mentioned this) what was so remarkable about the Rosetta Stone, and why it is so important is because since it had 3 languages all saying the same thing, and it allowed hieroglyphics to be translated for the first time. So what was said on the Rosetta Stone (which is rather boring )was not important, it's the fact that it enabled the translation of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to occur for the 1st time.
I MENTIONED IT IN THE LIVE CHAT....CREDITED TO THE GREAT CHAMPOLLION....THE BBC HAD A DOCUMENTARY SERIES ABOUT HIM & THEY CENSORED THE LAST PART BECAUSE IT IMPLIED THE PYRAMIDS & HENCE EGYPT WAS OLDER THAN THE CHURCHES 5,000 YEAR BELIEF.....
@Seth The King That may be but for a long time there was no key to read the Hieroglyphics so when the Rosetta Stone was first translated it was a big deal and that is why it is so famous and why there are translation software named after it etc.
@@leonthewise5807 Good, doesn't hurt to have it both places does it! But I didn't know about the BBC documentary and censorship so that is an interesting fact to be added here.
Would be cool to have an Atlantis exhibit that includes many predynastic Egyption artifacts. It was the Atlantis culture that made so many totally PERFECT Egyptian antiquities after Atlantis was flooded by rising sea levels due to ice melt. Sea levels were raised by as much as 400' due to all the melting... which probably coincided with the "flood", just flood from all the ice and glaciers melting.
Such a interesting Video pointing out the Questions that have never been fully explained let alone solved. I wait with bated breath JJ for part 2, thanks...
I love this content Jahannah!!! I agree that this objects should return to their places, but I'm so happy to have the opportunity to see them thanks to your channel. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Easter Island has plenty of statues, very few people will ever have the opportunity to travel there to see them. How many people can travel to a small island in the middle of the Pacific? Same goes for the works of many other countries. In many ways a large part of the collections in the British Museum were saved from destruction during the upheavals those countries went through. Case in point is China, when they had their cultural revolution back in mid 20th century, they tried to destroy as much of their own culture as possible. Museum collections have saved a lot from destruction and can be shared with the world. Our museums are free to enter and enjoy for everybody. Giving a lot of stuff back, you can be sure a lot of it would disappear into private collections, never to be publicly seen again. We put it on display for free, for everybody to enjoy. You can't say that about many places around the world.
How many people can travel to our small island in the Atlantic to see these works? Yes, some artifacts may well have been destroyed in their home lands, but that doesn't give us the right to just take them. What about the Elgin marbles? Greece is a relatively stable country, yet we point blank refuse to return the marble artifacts claiming they were 'legally acquired' by Elgin, despite a lack of evidence supporting that
How about letting these countries decide if they want to allow the British Museum to have their possession? There is no right for people who can’t travel to see artefacts of other cultures. And while you are at it, give back everything the British stole from the Akropolis.
Imagine a thief making exhibitions of stolen goods while argueing that the normal folk otherwise has no chance to see stuff… 😂 The imperial attitude with which the empire exploited so many cultures and countries doesn’t fit well today when it shines through the words in such comments.
That was a fun little tour. 😃 Interesting architecture. That pottery always blows my mind when I see it. I'll probably never get the chance to travel like you do in your vids, so thanks for sharing. ✌️
I literally searched your channel out in the search bar because I was wondering if I had missed a new video only to see another one is coming in a few hours. 😇 Looking forward to it 👍
Actually quite excited for this video as the British Museum auctions have been the source of about 10% of my lifetime income lol. Their auctions are THE BEST!!!! 🤓
@@leonthewise5807 whatever an informed seller and buyer agree to. That might sound like a general statement, but it’s quite the opposite; the emphasis is on “informed”.
@@kevinmark2146 WELL SPECIALLY YOURE USING AN INFORMED DECISION TO BUY AN ITEM THAT YOU KNOW CAN BE SOLD FOR A TIDY PROFIT...THATS THE NAME OF THE GAME...SO MY QUESTION IS HOW MUCH ON AVERAGE DO YOU PAY FOR AN ITEM AT AUCTION?
@@leonthewise5807 you missed the point; an informed buyer AND seller. When I buy items from private individuals I don’t just tell, but I show them as much information and data about what the current “market value” is of a certain item. That information also usually shows how often these items have sold at those prices and how many are publicly available and at what prices. That information can create an accurate timeframe of how long it will take to sell the item. Depending on how long it will take and how much of my time it will require is how I determine how much I’ll pay. On the other hand if I’m buying from a public store or a dealer, I will barter down as low as I possibly can because now I don’t have the moral obligation to inform them how much I will sell it for because they have the responsibility to find out for themselves what it is worth before offering it to the public. Then to tie that back to the beginning; auction results and public sales data is the information that determines the current market value.
I have been there, but I had no idea what I was looking at. I was there with my gf at the time, and it was just a tourist stop for me back then. Wow, I wish I could return right now. So much to see. Thank you, Jahannah!
Yes the nubs are fascinating, they are world wide and rather consistent in the ancient, megalithic, very hard stone work. As always you have done a wonderful job, thanks for sharing with us. You are fantastic!
The items are in a 'safe' place and available for everyone to view. Returning things to the origin they would probably be lost destroyed or forgotten forever. Thanks for taking us on your journey
Who are you to decide what would happen to things once returned?? Its their right to do whatever they want with their belongings. How about we steal stuff from your house, for safety from you!!
@@quos3683 Listen I am born here I have nothing against the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, and not at any particular war . You misunderstood what I meant about the Smithsonian, they tend to destroy items marking any pre Christopher Columbus, Era Explorer I'm the 🇺🇸America's. The Smithsonian doesn't like to change the history books. I am against the Smithsonian, and at least these artifacts will be protected for as long as the is a United Kingdom 🇬🇧 and not under water. Just some who believes history is someone's past, hardwork, to tell you a story. Jahanna presented this to you, and now you're complaining for nothing. Sounds like an uneducated Democrat in the United States, who doesn't appreciate history.
Love the video. I have mixed feelings about returning exhibits, especially if the artifacts pre-date the known date of habitation of those areas like Easter island.
Past few months after watching yours and others' videos about Egypt I now recognise straight away the more sophisticated items and it's incredible that more people don't go WTF! when they see them.
Can you do a Video from the Petrie Museum at UCL ..it’s only 5mins walk from British Museum . Flinders Petrie was the Egyptologist who first questioned how they could have ever made those carved pots and used tube drills with such precision .
Great look around the bm.. not long enough! We want to see every nook and cranny! 😁 I bet there's stuff tucked away in there that would blow people's minds if it was put out on display.
These countries did nothing to thwart their own people from looting and stealing their nation's history. It can be argued that these saves by the British Museum, and indeed museums the world over, have preserved history that would have disappeared forever had they not. Zahi A. Hawass looted artifacts in his own country of Egypt, don't forget, went to prison, and has now been reinstated as "guardian" of Egypt artifacts. I urge all museums to fight vehemently against those who demand they "return" what would probably no longer exist had they not preserved them.
Well, there is no problem with having some good artifacts spread throughout the world but one should really do something against black markets and cooperate with museums that are at the place where the artifact came from
Great footage, I must visit here again as it's on my doorstep. Love how we have preserved this stuff for all to see. I was disappointed at how bad some of the artifacts in the Cairo museum were treated. Keep up the good work, I look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Awesome video. Those statues are pretty eerie. That level of precision and the literal PERFECT symmetry could only have been done using a machine and not just as machine but in today’s world the only way we could do something like that is with a machine tool operated by a computer. A CNC machine is the ONLY way we could do that today and we have robots on Mars 😂 makes you have to rethink history big time.
I've also thought about Ancient Computers in the past and recently found one that dated back over 2,000yrs a clock wound spring mechanism for the drive and it would give data on celestial objects...
I'm torn about The British Museum, and others thorough out the world, that hold ancient artifacts. My heart says they belong where they came from but my mind says safer here. Ask a Buddhist about how the Muslims have treated their historical landmarks. It could happen in Egypt tomorrow.
I’m torn but I think it’s inevitable. Spoils of war and just taking things was normal and has always has been. The way I see it is that these objects likely would’ve been destroyed by primitive civilisations or used for creating their own structures and re-used just like the stone casings for the pyramids were used in the creation of mosques. Things like this were taken to keep it, if there was real evil going on they would’ve destroyed them
I imagine if we wanted to recreate such Vessels/Statues we could come up with a machine learning Technology to do so. Would that put us in the Alien category..?
@@steve-o6413 we’ve created machines so I guess some other life form could do the same, alien or past human. I don’t like to rule anything out! We can’t be 100% sure when dealing with ancient stuff.
@@joshjenkinson1929 the only reason Ancient History or Prehistory bothers you is what you were told about. I imagine if it were told to you differently you'd think differently. When things don't jive with what you're told then all you're left with is your Wit to figure it out. So reasonable deductions are needed, first off what stops us from visiting other Planets. Space is a inhospitable place just as local Planets are inhospitable also. Even our own Planet has inhospitable places where people don't live, so you might say we have a small Space where Life as we know it can survive, but that doesn't mean other lifeforms can't survive, like at the bottom of the Ocean. This covers 80% of the Planet. Then there's distance which is the biggest factor the next Solar System is Light Years away. So even if another Lifeform in another Star System exists it too has that barrier to cross. Chances are getting drastically reduced to a point where I say the probability is so minut, that I'm not going to consider them any longer. If you have proof otherwise good for you, but that won't change my line of Reasoning...
@@steve-o6413 there will be loads of things in the universe that are real that we have no proof of. They don’t require human proof to exist. I just consider things with an open mind - I’m not saying definitely this or definitely that. I was being daft about the aliens - I don’t think they made those stone pots! Although I do believe there must be other intelligent life out there given the sheer amount of space and time and observed stars / galaxies / planets. The pots in Jahannahs’ video are skilfully made and from an engineering point of view, I think most would agree that rotation is needed to achieve this, whether it’s a primitive hand tool only method like Finns link or something more like what we would use today. There’s so much on earth that engineers argue cannot be made with these primitive hand methods so this is why I consider the possibility of an ancient culture with advanced technology. The granite box in this video convinces me that the people of the past had advanced tech / methods as it is inconceivable how it could be made by hand.
As a 25 year carpenter I've been doing this since I was a child to do works like that on on that scale would be impossible to do with the tools they're showing absolutely impossible
I think you are correct, impossible! I have been working in construction for 40 years, all over the world. We work daily with huge steel pipe and beams, we use the most advanced technology of our time in cranes, side booms, earth moving equipment, boring, trenching, equipment moving equipment. I have been with hands on experience in some of the harshest climates on the planet. It would be next to impossible to transport and erect the megalithic stone structures, much less the accuracy and locations. Impossible without some sort of high, advanced technology.
Yeah, people that work with materials ,myself too, have an understanding of what is possible to do with hand tools. To an academic who has never even sawn a board, it seems perfectly fine that granite was perfectly carved with copper chisels and abrasives. Book smart idiots !
@@tnhuckleberry01 improbable not impossible. You can tube drill granite with copper. I've also seen someone recreate one of those stone vases by carving it with flint
Love your content and your personality. You're the best. You and Jimmy and Ben are the people that are the voice for the rest of us who are trying to get out of the dogma

We visited the UK in 2019 and we visited the B.M. What a mind bender! I stood in front of some Sumarian (I think) clay tablets about 8 foot tall that were covered in text. My mate said "are you reading that"? No says I, I'm looking for mistakes. I could not find any obvious "rubbing out"! Just think about that. Then the Rosetta stone, Same deal! If you've never been to the British Museum allow lots of time it is amazing. Thanks Johanna, I'm I patient to see you next visit.
For some reason it's fashionable to want to 'return' artefacts to 2nd/3rd world countries where the people living there aren't even necessarily the descendants of the people who made the artefacts and to where the governments are about as stable as a one legged horse. Places where said artefacts were often just barely saved from destruction by being brought to Britain.
You forget, that multiple civilisations & wars, have come & gone, only to return, often headed by greedy arrogant & ignorant individuals, who will lock out valid researchers, while as happened recently in Egypt, the Antiquities Department, heard of one site's finds, closed it down & took everything, that was in the tomb, except the red Granite sarcophagus - the finder of the tomb, & his assistants, had gained entry, & seen the contents ; they were told, "tomb robbers in antiquity", by the Egyptian Antiquities Departments staff, headed by the cheif of beuro.

Why can't there be a moai in London? Instead of sending the moai back, wouldn't it be better to send some British stuff to the Easter Island? Iesn't it better to share our history and culture with each other, instead of keeping everything to ourselves?

When you see what Isis and others have done to destroy or deface ancient site's, I'm glad these museums have been able to preserve at least some of these amazing relics .
It’s always nice hearing about the French getting theirs throughout time…. Great video. The statues are my favourite part of what you’ve shown of the museum. Thanks from 🇨🇦.
I like that you decided to search for lost ancient high technology at the British Museum! That really adds to what you and your fellow RU-vidrs have been doing in the sand on location in Egypt. In the future maybe more of the same at the Louvre in Paris, and in Berlin. Smart thinking! Keep going, we'll keep watching!
Returning items to their countries where they were found is questionable. Too much instability, too much denial, too much hiding of the truth, too many people who are not capable of thinking out of the box in charge.
@@subitopoco ISIS is the direct result of western meddling in the Middle East. First of all by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 and second the wish to remove Assad / Baath from Syria since 2011. Antiquities in both Iraq and Syria were well preserved before we decided to intervene. Last but not least we let ISIS practically move unopposed into Syria (with the support of KSA/Qatar - the main sponsors of these Wahhabi mercenaries and their ideology) despite having the capability to take them out from the air, instead opting to weaken the Syrian army and infrastructure. Of course with the great white man’s burden revisited comes an equally neocolonial/ neoimperialist mindset. The irony being that Russia, Syria, Iran and Hezbollah were actually defending the cultural diversity and heritage of Syria, while we were overtly and covertly supporting the Islamists. We are still doing the same in Yemen, supporting KSA and their genocidal policies. Lest we forget that we supported that same Islamist takeover of Afghanistan to draw in the Soviet Union, the great game that gave us Al Qaida - a product of KSA, CIA and ISI. No the world is not perfect, but if you think we are really improving it you should open your eyes to reality, we are a very active part of the problem. We did steal left and right and are still doing it. Should most of these stolen cultural artifacts be returned, yes. Is it always feasible, no. Besides with our current woke culture we are pretty busy destroying our own cultural heritage… I hope you enjoy your naive exceptionalism, have a nice day.
Thank you Jahannah this is a great idea. And i am sure the museum would approve of your video. Have just been watching the video of you in the talent contest when you were little. Loved it.
That moai is proof, it's basalt, hard to shape that with other basalt tools. They asked what its name was when they took it and got the answer, "my stolen friend".
True was about to say the same. Sh*t loads of stuff goes missing and still does in other chaotic countries, you can trust the Brits to keep things safe and they do often return them too. Its unfortunate that British people hate themselves so much and are the first to put themselves down.
@@HomeSickAlienJayman the V&A, doesn't willingly repatriate it's stolen artifacts - ask the people of The Middle East, or some of the First Nations peoples, around the world, who've had to fight, long & hard, for their artifacts to be returned. At least, the V & A, is better at returning artifacts than many museums, including the Vatican.
@@davidarundel6187 Also correct but rightly so. it's more important to keep these artefacts safe for future generations than to appease through pressure.
@@HomeSickAlienJayman many of the exhibits were stolen, that are in the V & A. They should be digitised, then return the objects, to their home site, once a lasting peace, happens & that is one lesson humans aren't willing to learn - co-operation, by All of the people for all of the people's benifit, not for the few. Archeologists & Historians, also need to get their act together, & stop pandering to their sponsors terms & conditions, which often do not do much to enrich anyone but the sponsor.
@@davidarundel6187 well you can choose how you see it and its very debatable whether stolen, discovered, saved, preserved. The world was usually a very different place at the time. But at least there safe for now and open to all to view for free. You don't get that in many places. And like we both agreed often returned when a origin is considered a stable home once again. The world is constantly changing and some of these items are thousands of years old and the creators and people are long gone its even debatable who they belong to anymore. The people that discovered them were probably doing the right thing at the time. What is mostly important i think is there preservation for all to enjoy and learn from and to keep them safe for as long as we can. Because you know that one day they will be lost forever like all history. lets enjoy them whilst we can. Pease to you brother David.
Okay here's a question. does Egypt or Easter Island or any of the other places that are in this Museum, do they have a museum with all the cool stuff that England had? If you get what I'm trying to say.
