The crazy thing about Rasputin is that when they pulled his body out of the river his body was dumped in, it was positioned in such a way that suggests he even managed to survive being shot in the head at point blank range, and struggled to swim before drowning.
The reason Rasputin survived his death for so long was because, apparently, the cyanide had a lower boiling point than the drink it was in and the drink was supposed to be heated as part of the preparation, effectively evaporating all the actual poison. The shot in the heart was survived because Rasputin, apparently, had a condition that made it so his heart was ACTUALLY on the opposite side of his chest, so they just missed... The rest was vague since some say his headshot was also survived because he was still struggling when they threw him into the river, but he died anyway, since he was definitely dead when they found him the next day.
He didn't go into much detail about Rasputin sadly. He actually survived a lot more than just that, including what was basically a point blank execution by firing squad

Good thing that I clicked on the video because of Tesla and spent 10 minutes trying to find him, just to see that he isnt even there. Thanks for timestamps
The funny thing about the zodiac killer is that he almost caught after the taxi cab murder. As he was leaving the scene a description of a suspect was put out to police cars in the area. A cop car spotted him but the eye witness description was of a black man instead of white man so they drove past him. He wrote a letter to the press and police telling them this.
@Jake Leviathan have you ever researched this case independently? Or? There was multiple sightings of the Zodiac Killer with the description of him being a white male mind you- and the dispatcher made a claim reporting him as a black person (with literally no evidence alluding to this, it was an assumption). I mean, you also have to realize the climate of the time, use common sense and realize that this was obviously racial profiling.
The Axeman is even more interesting than you give him credit for. He told people to play jazz music at a specific time on a specific date to avoid being murdered. True to his word, no one was killed. Pretty sure he disappeared after that
Why everyone was into Alchemy back in the day is because it was an umbrella term for things such Phycology, Philosophy and Natural Science (such as medicine)
Not only did you spell psychology incorrectly, but you're also dead wrong. Alchemy was simply old chemistry, with a tinge of pointless "black arts," flare. Philosophy and psychology predate alchemy.
I believe the zodiac killer has actually been identified quite recently. They found him through newer technology. Unfortunately he was already dead, so he never faced charges for everything he did.
Actually look into that deeper, it’s actually just a former prosecutor and his private investigator claiming they think Gary Poste is the zodiac killer. And the only reason it got significant news coverage is because instead of taking their new alleged “evidence” to the proper authorities, they instead went straight to TMZ and Fox News. Nothing is certain and it’s definitely safe to assume that it’s more likely the Zodiac killer is still unidentified
@@sliptodaknot91 good point- I really didn't dig that deep into it. I didn't remember anything about the PI and prosecutor so there is a good chance you're right.
There are actually some other fascinating things about Kaspar Hauser, like the fact that his feet were described as like “baby feet,” meaning they had seemingly never been walked on before, which adds evidence to the theory he was actually imprisoned. He also only knew two phrases- “horse horse,” and “I want to be a rider like my father.” These were probably taught to him by his captor, and shows his father may have been a soldier or nobleman. He also was given toy horses to play with and was fascinated by them, despite being older than young kids who usually like toys. Finally, he was stabbed when it was revealed he was going to write a book about his life, adding more evidence to the theory he was kidnapped and there were people out there that knew things they didn’t want to let out
you've covered about him with so much depth that the fact that no one has replied to your comment baffles me, probably because not everyone likes history or aren't into stories from people/events from the past. Anyways, have a nice weekend.
Knowing nothing about the context beyond what I’ve heard - I’d guess it more likely that he spun massive lies to the wrong people and was beat up, then eventually stabbed. Compulsive liars are infuriating
If he didn't know how to speak by his teenage years he would never be able to write a book. So either he could speak fluently or he was basically mute. Genie was kept imprisoned until her teenage years and was never able to speak fluently.
Fun fact: the main reason Rasputin helped with Prince Aleksey is because the royal doctors kept giving him Aspirin, which is a blood thinner, and thus would make his hemophilia even worse. Rasputin would stop them from doing any treatment of them, meaning the boy's condition would return to normal severity and let him get a bit better.
I really liked pythagoras, the dude who created the pythagorian theorem for triangles, was not only a mathematician, he also was meantioned to have had mystical powers like predicting the future and stuff, there was some real things were he said a ship would come back with some rando dead guy and the ship actually came back with that rando dead guy.
Pythagoras, interesting character for sure, but he was absolutely bonkers if you read more than this youtube video, man had a cult was into some WEIRD practices and general overall weird guy but as history stands being weird and smart def stands out
11:50 Springheel Jack is ironic in that if you ignore all the goofy superstitious art of him, the actual accounts and articles about him from witnesses all assume he really is just some dangerous weirdo in an elaborate costume getup. Not a demon or monster or anything out there like you'd expect, just a guy. It's almost refreshing how mundane that is.
Yea they think it was 1 or more young aristocracy. That's how he had access to gunpowder costumes etc. The marquis of Waterford is the #1 suspect. The guy literally "painted the town red" around the same time.
2:23 for those that don’t know, Oda Nobunaga was a VERY big deal in Japan at the time, he was one of the people that unified Japan during its warring states period
@@juliotorres3147 my point is that there's nothing weird about he's teachings...he was one of the first in the world who tried to tell "that homosexual is not evil" (this was hundred years ago), one of the basic laws in Thelema is " love is the law, love under will"...that means that you should never make love to a person that doesn't want to make love to you....so rape is bad bad bad...that doesn't sound like "the evil beast" he's always portrait as.
I was surprised Herman Emmanuel Fankem wasn’t on the iceberg, dude has been in a maximum security Canadian prison for 8 years now and refuses to give his true identity
@@I-DEPRESSIONIST long story short, dude got arrested with fake ID trying to leave Canada, they found out he was responsible for multiple fraudulent activities and possibly part of a huge fraud organization. He’s stuck in an immigration detention center since he refuses to give his real identity and hasn’t shown up to like 50+ court hearings. There’s so much weird shit surrounding him I think there’s a video that kind of discusses it
35:20 Once I was at a sleepover at one of my friend's house and when she was showing us around she just casually mentioned "btw it was two houses down the street where the serial killer Kiss Béla kept his victims' bodies". We checked it and she was telling the truth. Imagine having a good night's sleep after that!
this guys videos honestly bring me joy , i'm having a rough time in life right now, but when I watch these videos I forget about it. And I truly thank you dantavius.
Dude, this is my first video of yours and I am just wowed dude. Your energy, your editing, your way of telling stories. honestly something id expect with someone with like millions of subscribers. Subscribing now and I wish your growth dude
The babushka lady was just left alone, there wasn't any reason to suspect her of anything. But someone who is actually mysterious and connected to the JFK assassination (the CIA did it btw) is the umbrella man. The person they think was the one that gave the call to shoot as he lifted his umbrella in the air and then a second later to he shot ran out and the he just sat down and watched the chaos while everyone else just freaked out.
@@soulplexis many reasons, including his reactions to the failure of bay of pigs, the proposal of operation Northwoods, and his general distaste for the CIA, just to start.
Great video!! The Silk Road case has a WILD story. Staged hits, undercover agents gone bad-Ross went to some serious lengths to hide his identity and actually did a pretty good job of it considering his computer skills were self-taught. American Kingpin is a great recounting of the whole thing, it’s almost written in the style of an action/mystery novel and as someone who hates reading I couldn’t put it down lol
Ross definitely did not do a good job of hiding his identity. He posted a personal email that contained his real name. Dude was a certified schlemiel. He had an epic story, but he was also an emotionally-driven egotist who refused to accept that he'd gotten in over his head.
Count Saint Germain has also been spotted in multiple, usually stressful, events throughout history in tons of different parts of the world. The last sighting was supposedly at some peace negotiation in the 1980s.
Hey, it's great to see Buckethead on any list! The guy is godlike on the guitar, but he can play at least 12 other instruments including drums and saxophone.
you missed the best bit of Rasputin's lore, his body was wrapped up and thrown into the river when his body was retrieved it was discovered that his wrappings had scratches on the inside and he died of drowning
There’s so much more than that. He was a registered surgeon and doctor. He cured a fair amount of people. The dude refused to bathe after entering the royal palace. He was packing a foot of schmeat which is currently stored in the Russian natural history museum.
@@thescorpionpalacios he convinced his following that he could cure his followers spiritual woes there were rumors that he slept with the women. But there is another rumor that the female members washed him in a ceremony before every meeting with his followers. His followers were mostly family and local peasants. He was part of a sect that was into orgies.
In that Iceberg you could add 10-B a literal nobody that prevented a second Mexican-American war. No one on both sides ever knew who he was, he literally just started sending out information on the American plans to invade Mexico due to Mexico's relation with the newly formed USSR.
The first person on the iceberg “the babushka lady” was not murdered by the CIA. My journalism teacher a few years back met the granddaughter of her. She has actual evidence of her claim and seems 100% credible from my perspective.
man idk how i just found out about this yt channel but i wish i found it sooner. the way you speak is exactly how i talk, i just know i’d have the best conversation ever with you regardless of the topic lmao. but seriously i’m already hooked on your vids man. thanks for genuine, good content
13:02 2 facts to add to the viking. They had to kill him by going under the bridge and stabbing hits nuts. Also, he was on anamita muscaria, the red and white mushroom which can put people in a trance like state and was making him hype effective in battle.
Not only that ,but barricaded the bridge and all weapon and gear at the ready, check out Cold Steel long handle Vikimg axe video,that was just one of his equipment. Anglo sagas say he remobed between 40-60 Brits before he fell . Very likely he had been with Hardrada in the Varangian Guard earlier.
the interesting thing about rasputin is he really did help alexei romanov. it's believed now that he had alexei's doctors take him off aspirin, which is now known to have blood thinning factors, the exact opposite thing that you would want to give a hemophiliac. how he figured that out, i don't know, but it really improved the tsarevich's quality of life.
for clarification rasputin DID eat cyanide and did not die but that is only because the dunce assassins baked it into a cake and inadvertently nullified the cyanide's effect by incorporating it so well
The craziest part about the man from Taured too is right after he was locked up in jail, he mysterious disappeared the next day, with no signs of a breakout. It's almost like he jumped from his own timeline to ours, and then fell back in after he got locked up
@@missobama1688 Why don't you provide proof since you made the claim? That's so dumb to say "This has been debunked", and when asked how you Counter it by telling them to look it up, because either you're too lazy, or you're full of shit and don't know what you're talking about and just assumed it's been debunked
Snopes did a great article on it. The man did indeed have a passport from Taured, but he was prosecuted and and sentenced by the Japanese authorities after admitting that he faked the passport, and had no issues passing customs in any other country (Keep in mind this was a pre-9/11 world and border checks were not as strict). The House of Commons even mentioned him in a debate! Very interesting story, but very much not a mystery. I wish I could link a few pages on RU-vid but I’d be sent straight to the spam filter.
The one about the girl remembering her past life is interesting, my step brother has always spoken about his past life where he had two brothers and he died at a young age. He’s 8 years old right now and has always spoken about it. I still don’t know if I believe but whatever
My brother said he remembers picking his parents in heaven, that he was in a forest and then he "saw mommy and daddy and went to mommy and daddy", of course it was probably a dream. Anyways now he's 4
There are a couple variations of what happened. It doesn't help that the Soviets would have tried to make him look more supernatural then he was by adding details just to prove that even if you oppose their government the one it replaced was so terrible it had a literal evil wizard/demon running it in the end.
Akhenaten looks like that because he abandoned the traditional rules of artistic depiction in Egypt and is actually pretty significant for setting new "beauty standards" - feminine features like wide hips, big lips, narrow face... same naturalistic/stylized/exaggarated features apply to depictions of nature from his era. He was also one of the only pharaohs to comission artwork that includes his wife and kids and their daily activities. The dude was pretty chill
@@orangmawas3858 because his changes were so controversial. Dude wanted them to worship the sun, after he died they probably “had to” wipe him from history or risk “angering the gods”
You are so smart, witty, and I could listen to you all day. YOU ARE TREMENDOUS IN YOUR PRESENTATION. You have been the link in putting this reality in to perspective.
I am from Slovakia, which is right above Hungary and I have hungarian roots so I know about Bella Kiss and I have to tell you his story is one of the most fascinating I have heard. There are even movies about him in Hungary.
Bro how comedic you are while still being informative, some of these iceberg videos I watch the dudes reading them will be so damn uptight and talk like they're reading every word from a script. Great content homie
There’s a lot more to the axeman story, like the letter claiming to be the axeman saying he was a demon from hell, but he liked jazz music and wouldn’t kill anyone playing it that night. And a photo supposedly taken by an automatic camera
Some people claim that Crowley was a British spy and his pro Nazi writings had something to do with that, but if you read his other views it's very clear he genuinely shared their 'values.'
While burning at the stake has been glorified and depicted in popular media almost ad nauseam, the reality is that the punishment was actually quite rare. It was only used on women who were found guilty of arson, robbery and/or witchcraft. Witchcraft trials were also uncommon and have succumbed to modern hysteria and revisionist history. While women, and some men, found guilty of witchcraft were burned at the stake, the charges were always contested in court, with proper representation, and most people were acquitted as charges lacked any real evidence.
About the Babushka Lady...if she was a civilian witness of what transpired, she probably stayed hidden for her own safety. If you didn't know, a lot of people who dug deeper about the JFK Assassination suspect that it was an inside job i.e. JFK was killed by government people who were not part of his faction and many witnesses of that day are suspected to have died under suspicious circumstances later. If certain people didn't want the truth to see the light by offing those many witnesses who willingly showed up for inquiry, if I were the Babushka Lady I wouldn't want to show up either.
@@lostkriegsguardsman8615 specifically, what does it mean by "the golden one"? It could mean many things, The golden one of a fruit? The golden one of a person's personality? It doesn't really seem to be describing a Person in the term. So idk
4:03 many reports imply that he "healed" alexi by simply taking him off of medications which may have inflicted the condition in the first place edit: also his assasination story is generally believed to be heavily embelished
Supposedly, Rasputin died by drowning after they kicked him of the side of a cliff. So after they tried everything to kill him, he managed to die by drowning.
Another thing people think the iron mask guy is that he claimed he was an illegitimate child and pretty sure he had a secret cult or something like that
29:26 Alchemy is just an older word for chemistry. Alchemists were not all that mystical. But because alchemy/chemistry wasn't a well known science that everyone knew, it was easy for charlatans to proclaim to be one. They would learn the basics, just enough to show off and then use that little knowledge to make it look like they know more than what they really did. You have to remember, there was a time were information was coveted by the powerful. You couldn't fact check someone.
16:23 I know this is meant to be a joke, but witch-burning was extremely rare during the medieval period. This was because it was Catholic church doctrine that it was impossible for people to affect the physical world through magical practice. People who believed in the mere existence of witchcraft were looked upon by church officials as insane, and in fact, Heinrich Kramer (a German monk in the 1400's who wrote the Malleus Maleficarum, a handbook on witch-hunting which would be frequently used by later witch-finders as a means to rat out supposed witches) spent the remainder of his life considered a heretic. It was during the 1500-1600's (the Early Modern period) that most witch-burnings occurred, and even then, they occurred mostly in extremely devoutly protestant parts of the world, such as Britain (especially Scotland, which was even more fanatically protestant than England), parts of Germany (then the Holy Roman Empire), and early colonial America-- and even then, witch-hunting tended to be most prominent during times of civil unrest.
Oh my God dude. Is that a Philly accent? Everything's on point with your humor and presentation. It's fantastic. I'm breaking your rule and liking and subscribing 6 minutes in because you bring up buckethead, my favorite musician of all time. Good shit dude
just a little note: the abbey of thelema that you pictured in the video is actually in Cefalu, Italy, not France. It is a 5 minute walk from the house I grew up in :)) Really happy to see it in a random video lol. Alaister Crowley was kicked out of Italy by Mussolini but I'm not sure when that fits in the timeline
Good work man, keep up the icebergs, suggestion: i would like you to do a series where you go into every thing on a tier, like a video containing just 1-2 tiers and making it a series, anyways i subbed.
The Rasputin story is actually far crazier than anyone in the comments is making it out to be. Here is the full sequence of events. 1) Drinks a bottle of wine laced with enough cyanide to kill a bear 2) Is completely fine so they light him up with fully automatic weapons, hitting him in both the chest and head 3) After lying on the ground for a short moment, he springs up and charges one of his attackers, who stabs him in the stomach 4) His "body" is thrown in the river. 5) Later autopsy of the corpse reveals he survived the stabbing, and the cause of death was in fact drowning.
As a Colombian, I recommend you to research and read more before making these videos. I mean El Dorado was never a legend about a man, El Dorado was suposed to be a hidden town where Muisca tribe had everything made of gold. The thing you're talking about in the video is an actual rite made by Muiscas, back in the day, in Guatavita lagoon in which the Muiscas would cover the chief's body with golden dust and he would wear gold ornaments, he would get to the middle of the lagoon in some sort of boat and then jump in the water to let all the gold go to the bottom so they would give back to earth what they'd obtained from it. Honestly I think your source is just wikipedia.
I'm shocked L.W Wright wasn't on this iceberg. He was pretty much the D.B Cooper of NASCAR, check out Black Flags Matter's video on it. You don't even have to be interested in the sport to find it interesting
Crowley doesn't get credit for sketching the first "grey alien", to me its his only achievement worth mentioning, that and the mountain climbing stuff, supposedly he ditched a bunch of people on a mountain and they all died lol, thats a hilarious thing to do
@@mortenhyvejle Crowley is a fascinating person. Its remarkable that 80 years after his death, such a well documented life is still plagued with lies and slander.
Small correction but a little known fact is that tank man is actually alive and after intervention by the special ops forces known as the “守望先锋” or overwatch when directly translated, he was released by the ccp after it was thought it would cause too much negative press if they killed him, so instead they made up some phoney law with like 60 something clauses, most of which meant nothing but the 34th one in particular was enough to let him free on technicality, find out more search up overwatch rule 34.
Nice topic for a iceberg! It's hard to find an original iceberg video which is also entertaining/interesting. I like those videos but a lot of them are similar. If not the subject and/or the entries are kind of boring IMO. So yeah thanks! I really enjoyed this one 👍
I love your iceberg videos! I think you have the best iceberg videos on RU-vid! Keep up the good work and I know your channel will go really far. It's been really cool watching you grow. I can't wait for you to hit a million subscribers, and to see what kind of cool videos you come out with in the future.
