Peculiar Mummified Bodies w/ a Secret 💀 Smithsonian Channel 

I literally just watched an ad about having dry skin

Ive seen living people who look worse than this. Dont do drugs kids.

the fact we are watching this lvl of quality content for free is absolutely amazing thank you so much for making this

It’s all fun in games until the mummy starts moving

In an accident with burning oil I set my hands on fire which caused 3rd degree burns. The thing I remember forty five years later was how I could feel my skin and my fingers shrivelling up as I looked at them thinking, “ I’m on fire.” The chap in Herculaneum would have been shocked but would not have suffered. It to over half an hour before I felt the terrible pain from my burns. That depth of sudden burning destroys the peripheral nerve endings and it takes the brain time to adjust. I am still amazed by that fact.

Imagine dying and then centuries later being examined in a science lab and made into a documentary.

I can’t take the title seriously with the skull emoji 💀

All the investigation into otzi’s death indicates that he. Was killed by an arrow to his shoulder from the back and below. The arrow shaft was deliberately removed. There was also a cut on his left Palm as if he had been in a struggle with someone holding a flint knife. There’ are indications that he had descended, ascended and again descended the mountain then finally ascended again. He had also eaten a meal of almost 1/2 pound of Ibex and Eincorn wheat, before this struggle. These facts are from an intense investigation performed during an examination by many teams of scientists that removed material from his stomach, retrieved material. From which his DNA was ascertained and from the X-ray that. Discovered the flint arrowhead still in his body. From this evidence, it is unlikely that he was a sacrifice. He was murdered.

I love learning stuff about the Pyramids and mummies. Only time I ever paid attention in history class was when we were learning about the Pyramids 😂

Scientists: WOAHHHHH THAT AXE IS MAGICAL Otzi: it’s just an axe bro....

The animations in the Ancient Ireland part are STUNNING. Bringing history to life like this is very magical. (And it was quite gruesome ...)

More modern evidence tells us that Ötzi was murdered. He was shot in the back.

The second i saw him i knew he was the one in ye ole curiosity shoppe! How cool to see him out of his case!

Otzi was proven to be murdered, he still has the arrowhead in his back. He was killed by a coward, literally, an arrow to the back. That wouldn’t be a sacrifice. I guess this video is much older than when he was throughly examined.

The Maiden, exposed in glass like that...What a shame, All these should be put back where they were after they were done with them. Expose copies, they do that for paintings but they expose the corpse of real persons like they were a pottery.

Couldn't finish as Ötzi information is quiet outdated. There's an arrow head in his chest, entered in from the traps on the backside. That's what killed him...

And the maiden is absolutely,stunningly beautiful!!Her hair is a perfect braid and I’m sure in life she was a gorgeous woman,I’ve been to see her twice and I am not afraid to say I wept both times,the second time I went with my wife and we wept together,something about her is a cocktail of emotion…sadness,happiness to be in her presence,inquiry about her and her life,along with her death,and a thankfulness to her,and finally anger that she was disturbed from where she lay for so long!!She is someone that invokes many conflicting emotions.But I love her as I love anyone I’ve ever personally known!!Im waiting until my children are a few years older,but I plan a trip to take them to see her when I think they may be ready to be able to handle it!!

1:13 like that is a _really_ nice mustache for a dead guy.

I absolutely loved this! Fascinating.

This is/was the most fascinating video I’ve ever watched. Thank you for showing it

Powerful presentation! Wow! Really enjoyed this project!

The maiden's story was so powerful that it brought me to tears

Saw him at the curiosity shop, a great many years ago. Always wondered what happened to him originally, how he ended up like he did. If anyone ever missed him or thought of him. I do remember the shop people had him decently covered and seemed protective of him….

the case for the herculaneum mummy is compelling, heart-wrenching, and relatable. every time i learn more about this site, it really catches my interest. this was a great compilation.

Gives "the gun slinger that got drilled" a whole new meaning

Sweet upload. Cheers!!

I saw 'Sylvester' a number of years ago in the 'Ye Old Curiosity Shoppe' in Seattle, WA. They had him on show standing in a glass and wood cabinet covered with just a strategically placed blanket. I can't remember what 'his story' was that the owners had concocted for him but I do have to say he was in amazing condition. Found a few years later he wasn't who they said he was and I felt sorry that he should be given a proper burial or something like it.

So annoying that each segment leaves the story in mid-air about each mummy ... frustrating.

Ok, I have always disagreed with those who say the ax would have been stolen by a murderer. This was an incredibly rare item. It would be as if someone disappeared at work and Pete suddenly showed up driving a Ferrari that looked just like missing Fred’s Ferrari. I think he was murdered, and perhaps was able to hide from his killer (taking his food wouldn’t have been an obvious “tell”) but I think the reason all of his things were with him was that he and his killer were from the same group. If it was warfare, trophies would have been taken. If you killed your shaman, your chief or even just your wife’s irritating brother, you don’t take anything that would tell the people at home what you’d done. They would recognize his clothing and tools.

In the case of the Irish man, the name is not pronounced with the G sound, the G is silent.... It is pronounced Cro-hon. I can see the Hill Of Croghan (Crohon) from the hill behind our house, on the very edge of Kildare.

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing your knowladge with the World! Greetings from Argentina!

In my opinion this is one of the best videos on mummies. They give you enough information and if you want to know more you can look each one up individually. Well done 👍 in my book .

Lol I knew I recognized him 😂 I live in Washington and have been going there everytime I’ve been to Seattle since I was a kid. It’s awesome to learn about where he actually came from and the life he lived. Makes him more real not just a skeleton in box.

History is full of unsung heroes like this Roman legionary who sacrificed himself trying to keep the people at Herculaneum safe - assuming this is actually how things went down and he wasn't just some random soldier who just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. At any rate I hope he can rest easy knowing the tale of his selflessness has resurfaced after all these years.

The video does not say how it was preserved so well???

Francis Pryor! I recognize him from Time Team. He was always there for the Neolthic-era digs.

In deed, I feel that, this man was a True Warrior and protector of his men in war time!

It is awe inspiring to think that these human sacrifices to the gods ended up messengers to the future descendants.

Did you know if you have black hair it’ll turn red or blond if you’ve been underground for years

As a fellow Washingtonian I love the mystery behind our Sylvester

This was very interesting to watch and thanks for sharing it..

Making this axe took enormus skill...meanwhile on Cambodias 100th Primative Survival Channel " I made a bronze axe from stuff i found on a river bank in a furnace made from mud!"

I love these guys’ enthusiasm.

01:29 He wasn't just holding something, he was holding his own...

Italian mummy was shot and killed from behind .the arrow is still in his back...

Love this channel

This was awesome!

imagine dying then years later your body is on display at a store

I stopped this video about every 5 seconds just to look at the mummies in amazement like this 😮

Watching mummified pharaohs are for me always interesting.

Mummies amaze me

Fascinating but incredibly disrespectful to just have a mummy in your shop! I’d never step foot in your store. Once I got through the Wild West one, the video became increasingly better! The Maiden was amazing and tragic. Well done.

Excellent documentary.

Mummies are fascinating because it's like immortality even though they are dead they don't rot away in their graves. me and my mom and dad and dumb little sister live in a house next to a giant cemetery and a lot you never see flowers on their graves they are basically forgotten. I would rather be a forgotten mummy than someone who will probably be dug up someday because they need my grave to build a Walmart.

Great vids

Imagine the condition of those 2 people when the mummy wakes up XD

Although my English is not good, but I enjoyed watching this video..I put myself in the place of some mummies and ... excellent

thank you for sharing...

Incredible reconstructions, wow, thank you

I don't know.. In the name of science or not, I'd be nervous to disturb the dead.

5000 years old mummy ... thats a huge discovery....

Jason Priestley is the narrator! 😃

My great great grandfather was a Colorado hanging judge. My husband's great great grandfather was a horse thief who was hanged by my great great grandfather. Another one of my husband's ancestors was one of Oklahoma's first peace officers.

Everybody gangsta until the mummy moves

I really enjoyed this. Always have had a passion for mummies

a secret 💀

I've known Sylvestor since the early 1970's. Loved that shop!

At the end, ever consider how many heroes there have been and were never to be recorded? Nobody knows that soldier’s name. I think God notices and will pay them back in the afterlife. But it is a fact that people in your own state may be heroes alive today and we do not know what they have done all to try to protect others. Bless them, whoever they were.

Fantastic discovery.

Is the Maiden's alcohol proven, or just theory?

Quite a lesson ...... Thanks

I know about this particular mummy! Meet Sylvester, The Mummy! All the way from Seattle, Washington! You can see him at The Ye Olde Curiosity Shooppe in Seattle, Washington!!!

Perhaps I am mistaken but I have never heard of a Druid being executed. Presiding over one, yes but not of himself

I love the animations

My grandmother loved old west story.If she were alive today, she would be delighted.

I saw a woman mummy when I was a kid. I was fascinated by the “fact” that her hair and nails grew after she died. Lol 😆! This was my first look @ your channel. Excellent, entertaining video. Thank you. Subbed.

Would love to watch this but there is no closed captioning which, being deaf, I need.

I’ve got that mustache song from “A million ways to die in the West” in my head

So, anyone can buy and sell a corpse as an oddity display? This seems highly illegal, not to mention unethical! Is Andy willing to sell me his Fathers corpse, that I might display in my Freak show?

Fascinating !

It looks like the soldier at the end was charging ppl coins to get on boats and he waited as long as he could to make more coin but left it too late.

This technology is amazing!

Why don't they make a facial recreation?

Poor ole Sylvester...the way his hands are and considering what he was, I'll bet he held a rifle....

(6:57) Wow so excited about a gunslinger mummy from the olden times!

You can do manual labor and not have calluses due to habitual use of emollients animal fats and petroleum jelly etc. Nails can be filed very close. Some gymnasts take a very high level of care. Brute labor. Excluded.

GEDmatch says I'm related to otzi how cool is that. I've seen Sylvester in Seattle in person "Go Hawks"

King tut and the other pharaohs were very old yet ancient.I love history!🤴🤴

Good ole Sylvester taking a vacation from Ye Ole Curiosity Shoppe?

I was in a antique shop and on a table were the bones of the captain of the ship the Lucitania. His bones were there on display for years. You could even pick them up off the table. I don’t know what happened to them after the shop closed.

great story

You are jumping from one mummy to the next without any conclusion, without any clear-cut.

Who else is watching on day of post of vid

Dr.Prior ! He always loves a a good bit of Ritual 😝

I have a separate study with the mummy of OTZI and i found out that the mummy has been accidentally drift off the cliff and injured with sharp twigs, he could have survive but because it's winter he died from hypothermia.😅

The curiosity should had lived on IMO. when dude stuck the drill bit in his "BH" and debunked the bullet ...I was like REALLY DUDE...... WHY.

Omg the guy with the black shirt talking about the old west looks like Hodor!!!

Is the Herculaneum skeleton possibly Pliny the elder who went to help the people and was overcome by the gases from the volcano? He was a soldier.

22:53 I think that the little Inca girl should be back in her place that they found her 22,000 feet in the mountains. Lay on top of her the memories of how when and where they found her. She will be best left alone. 32:29 where I wonder if the other parts of his body ever be found?

I’m not sure I’m buying this story as no one knows about this man. However, his preservation is excellent. Perhaps better than the Egyptian mummies
