Why Are There Human Bones In This Scottish Castle? | Extreme Archaeology | Absolute History 

I like that better than one's who claim something and force the evidence to fit their pet theory

Critical thinking... If only it were more common .

You all probably dont give a shit but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

@Cayden Xzavier Instablaster =)

@Connor Korbin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

Probably sounds like _oi oi oi_

I nearly died of freight when I almost ran into a golden orb's web. Thankful I haven't seen a huntsman yet.

@@kflo8634 we have them in NZ too and years ago my husband said he had surprise for me and to close my eyes and hold out my hand. Huntsman spider, which when I freaked, ran up the sleeve of my jumper. I was so trusting then...

@@jowalden-evans2951 lol, years ago my husband and I were watching a scary movie which I don’t like so I cover my eyes at what I deem scary parts. My husband told me it’s not a scary part so I trusted him, and yeah needless to say I don’t trust him like that anymore.

Thank you, that's very interesting

I noticed that too. Thanks for explaining.

Ooops!

Thanks Charlie

i'm hoping it was a slip of the tounge no one noticed

Yeah, I have as well. Except his name was Groundskeeper Willie and he had to turn to cannibalism when his retirement grease was stolen.

@LAFOLLETTER you beat me to it lol

Including the rich according to Rousseau

@LAFOLLETTER which is often the logical result of food deserts and over priced healthy foods

@LAFOLLETTER Yup. That is the most ignorant thing I've read all day.

That still doesn't justify boiled cabbage 🤢

We found human remains encased in a sheep's bladder within a earthen vessel on top of a hearth... Either a primitive souse vide or early attempt at human based haggis.

If Phil was involved in this there would be flint everywhere... and Mick would have found saxon graves 😆

Probably not, but it may show that the Ferengi are Scottish.

He's a cat.

He said, "Hooge Boulders, too."

Same pronunciation when he says "new" and "view".

And define "huge spider". It's Scotland. They don't have actual huge spiders in the UK. Unless the thing is at least the size of your palm, get back to work. If it is that big, kill it, then get back to work.

Well, they were amateurs, so no boss, but still it sounds rather implausible unless they were preteen girls. (not being sexist- I just know how most preteen girls are!)

People seem to be obsessed with this idea on so many history/historical documentaries. While human hands do contain some natural oils they don't contain quite as many as other body parts might - and many oils get pulled away from the skin through normal use and in harsh conditions (like cold). So there are far fewer oils on your hands than you realize. Gloves can interfere with a lot of dexterity. Even surgical gloves - which can stick or pull. Other types of gloves can snag or deposit fibers. The environment these fragments have been in is not hermetic so they are already being exposed to a variety of environmental factors that might erode or damage them. The minuscule trace contact that might occur when a professional picks them up or touches them isn't likely to change their level of decomposition. Once they have moved to a lab or new location there is a VERY good chance that hands have been washed before handling. You can see when they begin to examine the infant bone that her hands are quite clean and the bone is, too. Additionally, the sense of touch can be quite good when it comes to texture. You lose that sense when you use gloves. Gloves are not always required and can hinder many investigations.

@@SilverXeno All very good points! I suppose the reaction many have (and certainly I had) was more from watching human hands sift through really dreadful-looking muck rather than despoiling artefacts. But I will say, when he was using hydrochloric acid bare-handed, that was a tipping point for me; I think a pair of well-fitting protective gloves might've been in order. : )

@@SilverXeno It’s not about changing the level of decomposition, for me personally, it’s about contamination. Science is far beyond “fibers” at this point. Pollens and even bacteria specific to certain bodies of water are regularly presented as evidence in modern criminal and environmental trials. It’s about epithelials. It’s about not calling some shmuck regurgitating googled mixed facts (like Adams using dynamite to build the castle🤪), “history”. It’s inconceivable to me that in the field of medicine, which is now forever intertwined with archaeology, not wearing gloves would be in any way, anything but unacceptable ...yet you’re babbling about them pinching? Really? That wouldn’t fly at a taco stand let alone a professional dig.“How *strange* ”! It’s as if the walls have just emerged out of the rock.” 🙄 what castle is anyone aware of that didn’t drain into nearest water source? Just yikes. It’s a scientific abomination and now we may never know to what family that poor baby belonged in the world. Pinched. Pffft!

@@i50519 Okay.

@@i50519 We won't find that 'poor baby's family', because they likely were long dead with no records, much less DNA for them. But sure, it's got something to do with a small bit of extra contamination as opposed to the crap it's been stewing in for decades. Get over yourself.

Not in this cave (unless it escaped my notice that the UK has reintroduced the death penalty?)

Not in Scotland they'd get out of jail in a few years

"Dear Sir, I am glad to hear that your studio audience disapproves of the last skit as strongly as I. As a naval officer I abhor the implication that the Royal Navy is a haven for cannibalism. It is well known that we have the problem relatively under control, and that it is the R.A.F. who now suffer the largest casualties in this area. And what do you think the Argylls ate in Aden? Arabs? Yours etc. Captain B. J. Smethwick in a white wine sauce with shallots, mushrooms and garlic."[

But now they are also a murderer, ya knob.

According to The Movie Database it’s from 2004, it’s pretty good considering we probably have better technology today.

@@ninchennino4451 I don't even know if technology is substantially better... They're still 3d modeling the site just with more data points. The best analysis they got in this case was still based on educated humans identify discrete sets of bones visually. Maybe Inexpensive rapid DNA analysis by taking samples and proving the relationships and ages between individuals. I answered my own question. Nevermind.

The world does not revolve around the USA

Yes its extremely disrespectful to do that

Wonder above corr.

...lol.

It has to be ruled out by the local police before they can continue on. It didn't necessarily have to be a murder case, could be a missing persons one. Human remains wasn't something they expected to find. It probably didn't take more than an hour or so for police to conclude it. Quite easy when you already have an expert in such things on site. She knew by looking at it it wasnt recent but they're required to tell local police.

I don't think they called the police for the sake of drama, I believe that's what you're supposed to do even in the US. Even if they look old as shit, you are best served by getting the police out and reporting it. I don't think any of them assumed it was a recent murder, just being diligent.

It’s to keep people out

It's a school

@@user-yd3sp9fd2d hm true true

Of course schools teach archaeology, anthropology and AP history. None are required, unfortunately.

What evidence can you cite to support the statement that Anglo-Saxon=Chinese Huang (genetically East Asians? Not critical just curious.

@@anneangstadt1882 It is recent discoveries of the all histories of those Asian/Indian nations. The Wu Hei (from the Siberian Steppes) were the first invaders of China and India, (that was repeated by the Monghols in the 1200s across the same Chinese and Asian lands. Looking at all of the migratiung hordes of 400s-500s tribes in the failing Byzantine and Roman Empires, on sees that all these groups were all associated in some fashion of location and race. It was first found that the Goths (Ostrogoths/East Goths and Visigoths/West Goths) were descended from the Indian Gautama tribe. This caused further increased discoveries that the Vandals were the Indian Panthali tribe. The CATHARS (of later times) were from the Indian Kothari tribe. The Visigoths settled into the Neustria (southern Normandy and Breton region, as well as taking over the abandoned Roman villas of Portugal, Spain, and into North Africa - of which the dark-skinned Berbers (not originally of Arabic descent) were these dark-skinned Berbers. Huns, Angles, Saxons, Jutes all have the implied German origin - but they were migrants THROUGH the German lowlands into the Dutch/Holland/Lowlands areas, settling also into the northern Neustria regions (west Gaul/France and Flanders). It is these groups that came into the Scottish and English lands as noted with Hengist and Horsa. It is then with studies of Chinese history, Chinese civil war, eventual failure (like Roman Empire) that the Huang dynasty and Huang capitol were these named refugee populations. Huns are these Huangs. Angles (a bastardized EURO word) is another Huang-les tribal group. The Sax-ons were the Southern Chinese group of these Huangs - South Huangs, just like the many names of the Anglo-Saxons with their petty kingdoms of Wessex (West Saxons), Essex (East Saxons), Sussex (South Saxons), Anglia (Angles), Norfolk (North Saxons). Another group that migrated into the western region of Russia were the Varangians and Slavs. The Varangians are a hybrid group of Persian/Parsi/Farsi - Chinese Huangs. The Slavs, Tsu Laus appear to be a religious group much like Confucius (Kung "Fu Tse", Rabbi Kung), Lau Tsu (Rebbe Lau ... Lav), Sun Tsu (Rebbe Sung). The Jutes (Ju Tse, Rabbi Yu) would be another religious group. There is also strong suggestion that the name of Scandinavia would be the Saxon Huangs and Varangian groups from Norway to the Russian borders. It might be hard to accept, but these are the times when such (modern) linguistics are said to be Indo-Aryan (east to western movement), versus the more ancient languages were Aryan-Indo (EURO into Mideast into India/Asia). And to say that these refugee groups were pure Chinese or pure Hindu is NOT SAID. They were also a mixture of peoples in each group with other intra-nationals. The Anglo-Saxons of Scotland and England were not epicanthial fold eyes, but having a darker, more yellow Asian appearance than the ancient British-Welsh that were shoved out. Over time these oriental features were bred out during the times of the Anglo-Saxons 450s-750-900s with the intrusions of Irish, and Dano-Norse Finngaills and Dubgaills coming into the land and having political marriages and peace treaties with these Angles and Saxons across England and Northumbria-York. At the time or the Normans, another branch of those same peoples coming down into the Lowlands and western shoreline of western France, Normandy, and Brittany, their features were also outbred, and still not looking like any modern Welsh, Brit, Scot, or Irish. There are other substantiations that truly compare actual ancient knowledge of events with (said) modern historian "interpretations," that is not being told - and should be.
