This Man Claimed to Be Immortal and History Can't Prove Otherwise 

Hi, Thoughty2. It's me, your only viewer. Over the years, I've been creating the illusion that a lot of people are watching your videos. But it was me. Now I will write this message from all accounts.

His last known alias was Cotton Eye Joe, but no one seems to know where he went.

"There was something crazy about this stranger...nobody knew who he was!" *thats how strangers work*

If I was immortal, and I didn't want anyone to know, I'd make people think I was fake.

Imagine St. Germain watching this video and facepalming at minor mistakes

Soo he would: -show up -bamboozle his way into the finest aristocracy -refuse to elaborate -leave -start over

Voltaire described Saint Germain as "a man who never dies, and who knows everything." This remark was likely made in a tongue-in-cheek manner, reflecting Voltaire’s famous wit rather than a literal belief in Saint Germain's immortality.

I spent many years working in law enforcement in New Orleans especially during and after Hurricane Katrina. Right after the storm when the entire French Quarter was dark and mostly deserted except for us Louisiana State Special Officers and the National Guard. Myself and the Guard unit I was paired with met a man who came out of nowhere clean and well dressed which was not possible at this time and he introduced himself as Jack. Later in the conversation he said he was Count St. Germaine. We were skeptical and asked him if he needed help and he said no but we did and then he was gone. You can say what you want but this happened in front of two State Officers and 6 National Guard members and we reported this to our HQ and they even heard him speaking while we were on the radio.

You forgot there were a few people who during the count’s living period said they knew him in their teens, and now being in their 40s or 50s said he looked like he never aged a day from that time. Not that this proves, just another interesting piece of the pie

"Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste. I've been around for a long, long year, Stole many a man's soul and faith...Pleased to meet you, Hope you guess my name, But what's puzzling you, Is the nature of my game" - The Rolling Stones Sounds like it could be a song about this guy. :)

Original title: "This man claimed to be immortal and history can't prove otherwise" For when this inevitably gets retitled

I am Duncan MacLeod, born four hundred years ago in the Highlands of Scotland. I am Immortal and I am not alone. For centuries we've waited for the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword and a fall of a head will release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only one.

Here is my take on the character. The guy was probably raised in a good noble family. He was accustomed to the nobility and knew how to press their buttons. In this way, he could always find ways to infiltrate their circles by playing on their fantasies (alchemy, eternal life). The guy was a great self-promoter before the word was invented. At one point, his legend took a life of its own and we still have disciples of the man even today. The fact that Casanova, who was a master manipulator, did not hold him in high esteem says a lot.

I think the Count is a true immortal, calls himself Simon these days and hosts 120 RU-vid channels simultaneously.

You left out one of the most famous stories of saint Germain. Once he was entertaining a rich family at a dinner party and he played the piano for their daughter. At that time she was 10 years old then. And 40 years later they met again. She came up to his and commented how much that he reminded her of another gentleman she knew when she was a child. But it couldn't possibly be the same man because he was in his early 40s at the time. That would make him over 80 when they met again. So she asked him if maybe it was his father or some other relative. He smiled and said of course I remember playing for you and your family. Even though he didn't look a day older than when she knew him. But he did Revolutionize the textile industry not in Ceramics or porcelain or dishes though. But in fashion back there they made green dye from arsenic and it was very poisonous. He made a safe green dye for clothing. Allegedly...

A person with charisma and swagger can carve their way far up into the social hierarchy without actually producing or knowing anything at all. When he was found out, he moved. Aristocracy being what it is, and the world a much more sparsely populated place, they had all probably heard about him but did not know who he really was, and he doesn't seem to have done anything else than talk and boast. So much so that we in fact have conspiracies about his immorality. Well done.

another option is that he trained a apprentice to take over as him , and every time a new count nears death he trains a new apprentice, which would make it the worlds longest con ever

A relevant movie is "The Man from Earth" from 2007. It's an awesome little-known movie which delves into the concept of a man who never ages, claims to have met historical figures over thousands of years past and was even a biblical figure himself. It's quite an underrated, thought-provoking piece and I recommend it highly.

In 1989, I met him in Pittsburg, California. He was indeed very talented. He taught me the recipe for the best cocktail I've ever had. I call it The Immortal.

I met the count once and asked his manservant if he truly was over 1 thousand years old, but sadly he couldn't confirm this, telling me that he'd only worked for the count for 300 years...

A very rich, very talented man of unknown origin immersing himself into high society in record time..He sounds something like a real life Count of Monte Cristo.

His last time he turned up was D.B. Cooper 😅

- Legendary Genius - Legendary Con-Artist - The Doctor having a holiday - Time-traveling sentient AI pick one.

It's not our job to prove that something didn't happen. It's the job of the claimant to prove that it did happen.

Clearly The Doctor lost his Tardis and was living his best, immortal life stuck on Earth.

I like how the original Star Trek series of the 1960s used this topic as a very interesting episode. "Requiem for Methuselah"

Brilliant - i love your simple yet cool animations - who looks after the design and animations for you?

Where could he be now? Chained and drop at sea by a rebellious crew? Caught in a mining collapse in the late 1800s? Thrown into a volcano by angry natives?

He came to New Orleans as Jacques de St. Germain in the early 1900s. He is one of the vampire stories in the French Quarter.

He's....he's....The Doctor!

Maybe the Count was a disgraced mariner, unjustly arrested for a crime he didn't commit, and he was educated in prison by a fellow prisioner who happened to be a priest, escaped and found a great treasure, to then come back, join the aristocracy and exact revenge on everyone who wronged him. That would be a great book to read.

I'm not pushing religion here... just remembering something I read in the Bible. Jesus said "There are some of you standing here who shall not taste of death until you see the Son of Man coming into his kingdom." I have always found this intriguing.

His real name is Tak Ne. He was originally born in Egypt 896 BCE, but grew up in Spain and adopted the name Juan Sanchez-Villalobos Ramirez. Unfortunately he was found murdered in Scotland in 1986.

I have to recommend the film, "The Man From Earth". The central character of the film claims to be immortal, such as this Count did - if you wanted to watch a film of a bunch of people interrogate a man who claims to be immortal.

A REAL human telling stories and no AI. I like you. Subscribed!

I think you're being shadow baned, my friend. It's been months since I've seen me some Thoughty2

So he was thousands of years old by the time the 1750's hit. And nobody knows who he was. Let me guess he traveled in a Blue Box.

I never imagined seeing a video of myself. I am open for an interview to finally put a rest to the guessing game.

The person who draws the pictures to Thoughtys videos has a very distinctive style, I like it.

Immortal? Turned metal into gold? *gasp* he's Nicholas Flemel!

The Why Files also did a good video on the Count, glad to see you make one too because it’s an interesting story! 👌

You’ve got to love an über con artist who essentially evaded all responsibility.

The count of St. Germain was probably what we would consider a chameleon these days. Basically, he slips from life to life or from person to person simply by gaining a few friends in a slightly higher level than he is at hanging out with them. Learning about them learning what he can about history from them and then moving to another city. Where he does the same each time he moves. He increases his level of education and his level in society as he just simply tells people what he is, and they pretty much have to believe him as he can. Verify quite a bit that somebody would know from that level of society

Back in the 1980s, author Chelsea Quinn Yarbro wrote a series of books based on Le Compte de St. Germain, imagining him as a vampire. A good read for those interested in the genre.

In another version of this story he would never be seen eating or drinking anything at those high class dinner parties except for some kind of elixir that he would keep in a small bottle in his pocket. Thanks Arran.

"When 800 years old YOU are, look this good you will not." - Count St. Germain

Thank you brother!! Been subscribed since covid and will continue to watch as long as you make videos

I've seen other RU-vid versions of some of the stories that you have told, but it's the wry, witty humor and color that you add (or humour and colour, if you're not in to that whole U.S. brevity thing) that keeps me coming back. Rock on, Thoughty2!

2:48 Bruv, there's been a lot of controversies with BetterHelp as early as in the time of pandemic and you still get sponsorship from them...

His name was Phil, and his story was only told after he'd escaped a time loop he was stuck in for years. 😂 EDIT: Oops. I just got to the part where they actually referenced this in this video. 😅

Some people have suggested that he begat a son who resembled himself, and taught him everything he knew. So when he would visit a country 40 years later, hardly anyone would know them apart. But I started reading about him as a child, probably in one of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not, and who could not be intrigued by this man’s story. I think he shows up as a supporting character in the “Outlander” books.

This channel is immortal! I've been watching A LONG TIME! much love!

Number one best story narrator. You're a genius

The Count of Saint Germain is a fascinating enigma that perfectly illustrates how legends can outshine reality. This man, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, captivated the elite with his charm, musical talent, and mysterious origins. It’s incredible how he navigated high society, leaving everyone guessing about his true identity. His story raises profound questions about the nature of fame and the allure of the unknown. Was he a master conman or a genuine immortal? Regardless, he reminds us that sometimes, the most compelling narratives are those shrouded in mystery. In a world obsessed with transparency, perhaps we need a little more intrigue!

There is a guy living not too far, he's looking just like him.

I'll slightly disappointed, it was never brought up about him being a vampire in New Orleans who put on lavish parties, but never ate with anybody. Then fled New Orleans after "attacking" a woman and biting her neck. That was how i learned about him. I'm New Orleans, you can still see his former home.

He was most likely a scammer. A fake influencer, we have those now. Where they go into debt to fake an image of looking rich, where they rent fake jets to take pics,etc. This dude was basically the old school type..probably.

This is obviously the Doctor. My mind can't be changed. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

History doesn't need to prove a negative. If someone is making the claim, the burden of proof falls on them.

Why do I have a feeling the 'count' eventually changed his name to Elvis and had a string of hits in the late fifties and sixties.

What? Unless he's still alive, we CAN prove that he wasn't immortal...

He sounds like he had a perfect memory. Scamming 101 sounds like.

"I never eat shoes in the middle of the week" Truly the words of an enlightened demigod

No one ever comes up with the 'theory' of being connected strongly with all of your past lives, to the point of being able to bring their memories up as if they were your current life's memories. Lucid dreaming masters can easily train themselves in skills to mastery within lucid dream states. What is stopping someone from being able to re-count them (Past life knowledge) and even transfer that memory to your physical long term memory, if one masters that technique. No magic, no immortality, required.

This guy is my friends dad he's not aged in 30 years knows everyone and everything speaks so many languages and his knowledge of history is unmatched

honestly one of the best channels on youtube

His otiginal name was Ahasveros or Ahasuerus (which indeed sounds a bit Spanish, doesn't it?). He was born 465 BCE. Some people call him the wandering Jew because he was supposed to be cursed to wander the earth in 33 AD. He was almost 500 years old then... it all happened again.. and they called him Rasputin, like he called himself the count of st Germain. 100 years before, Those were times he didn't hide so well and rolled with it. Usually he keeps a low profile. He doesn't want to be experimented on.. He did that himyself many times over.. immortality is noncommunicable.. but who'd believe him?

Glad this channel is still kicking strong

I am so sad and disappointed to see one of the smartest men on this platform to take on better help as a sponsor and say they can be trusted with a straight face. They have made so much money selling the personal information of the very people they are taking money from with the promise of helping them connect with therapist to improve their mental health. It's even more sad when that means either A) one of the smartest people on RU-vid isn't doing any research let alone a simple Google search on the sponsor B) you have sold your integrity and chose money over the viewers that may be looking for a solution to mental health problems... either way that is disappointing. Better help is just another evil company looking to put profit over people disguising itself as a caring organization, there are far better options that don't sell out their customers who are already in a bad place. Don't let these leeches step on the people who look to you for an escape from day to day stress and education, please do better, hell I would even take another raid shadow legends ad campaign at least they are honest about what they want from their customers.

Thoughty2 is Immortal. I've been watching his content for years, and the man doesnt seem to age.

I still hear "forty two here."

This is all true, I met the Count at walmart the other day. He was wearing a dress and complaining about the dyes, then suggested I watch this video to save him the time of explaining himself.

Imagine he is like a timetraveller from the future who is just visiting places in history.

FINALLY, a new episode of the Count of St. Germain from Thoughty2! One of my favorite mysteries from history!

I remember hearing once that Phil (in Groundhog Day) relived the same day for 10,000 years. That's an awful lot of mastery.

Hi, Thoughty2. It's me, your only viewer. Over the years, I've been creating the illusion that a lot of people are watching your videos. But it was me. Now I will write this message from all accounts. This time from Sweden... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS💖💖💖

He’s clearly batman

Did he carry a sword, and remove anyone's head? I think I've heard this story before.

It's in his name bro. He's the count of St. Germain. So obviously... he's from St. Germain.

I absolutely love your facto-tainment. Your exotic (for me, I am in the US) accent and pretty smiling face delivering little factobits keeps me coming back for more. I hope you continue to provide content for many years to come and I hope you can make a good living off of it for all that time.

YESSSSSSS A NEW THOUGHTY2 VID THANK YOU BRO❤❤❤❤

I love when I actually know the topic of the story before watching! Thanks for another video, we needed it!

Ive read this story and heard this story so many times, and it is still plumb amazing that it is true, at least for the actual parts confirmed and nothing to do with his immortal claims. He may not have been supernatural, but his ability sure as hell was incredible.

Classic confidence man. Quick, silver tongue, and a lot of charisma.

You forgot one crucial part of the story about him being the son of Prince Rakoczi; The story goes he was shipped off in secret and raised as a ward of the de' Medici family, which would more than explain his broad range of talents. Npw if this happened when he was 4 years old, they could have told him he was a different age and he wouldn't be any the wiser. That would have made the year his father was born and how old he told he was before he died completely negligible. The de Medici may have even instilled in him the idea he could "be anyone or anything he wanted" to be forever an aid to him in keeping his identity a secret.

The first thing that came to my mind was that he was a French spy lol.

3:38 until you can't... cause they sold you medical information.

im sorry, but if better help was about helping people, there would not be a price tag that required a discount code and a monthly subscription, its about money and nothing else

It's already been confirmed who he is, that was the Emperor of Mankind. You didn't think 40K was a fantasy game did you 😁 It's a documentary/biography that's also revealing what has been psychically viewed as the future by the emperor himself 😎

He probably was an incredibly talented con man. But he does make for a fascinating character in anything close to historical fiction. I know he is in Castlevania, but I would love to see him in more such things.

St Germaine is an ascended master, he is one of planet earths "babysitters" , he reincarnates from time to time.

Could he have been just an epic level con man?

I think the last sighting was in NYC, having an unbelievable sword fight with Clancy Brown. All seriousness you gotta admit, we’re still talking about him, so he actually achieved a bit of immortality didn’t he?

If he's immortal he should be around still so..

He was a great conman and charmeur. Although I have to admit, a really immortal count would have made it a great story!

He could have been a noble with DID, multiple personalities. That would explain all the strange origin stories, the lack of personal information and the detailed (invented) takes on history and why he didn't break under torture.

Finally a video about my life And you cant prove otherwise

Fantastic channel and fascinating video 😮

Joining smaller gemstones can be done fairly easily too. You just need to make a super saturated solution of the right base materials, drop the smaller gems in as seed crystals and let the solution cool...

You become immortal when people continue to speak your name and talk about you. You can speak, communicate your thoughts after death by writing a song or a book. But we all die a second time the last time we are mentioned on Earth.
