- No one is allowed to borrow from the Vatican Library, except the pope. And no wonder: the archive holds some of the oldest and most precious works of art and treasure known to man. Morley Safer gets to see the best of the best.
would love to spend some days in there
For real 😃🙏✝️
The comic book collection is unreal
rick groot I think u would get bored
It’s like going thru HR files from 2000 years
I may be an unrepentant heathen, but I have always adored and admired the Catholic Church for its unfathomable plethora of cultural contributions to the West over the course of two millennia. I visited the Papal Palace and Observatory in Rome years ago and have been inside the Vatican, but can scarcely fathom the value, historical and religious, of the contents of the Papal Library...
Repent, heathen. God loves you!
You mean appropriating other ancient cultures of the world.
@@sanchayansarkar2953 Oh? What did they appropriate from you?
Do you feel the same about 'appropriating' the technology you're using right now? Or the language you're speaking in order to convey your first-year university student inflected faux-moral condemnation of an entire religious and cultural legacy?
Tell me, honestly, what you believe to have been 'appropriated', and from whom, and what you would like done in order to rectify this atrocity, that is so obviously weighing heavily upon your soul and tormenting your mind.
Cheers.
Everybody keeps saying they got the surviving copied scrolls of the library of Alexandria in a vault to never be seen makes u wonder what else they got.
Well most of the book from alexandria has been burned cuz empires who took over the place thinks its blasphamous to read those....but the church tried to restore those considering other empires try to destroy those
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner...
Those books are more precious than gold
Make everything into PDF files and release it to the general public
@@DJ-sn2wn only around 25% is digitized anyhow. That means you can't read, some, 3 out of 4 of the books in the Vatican library.
Well most of the books are in italian or latin...unless you speak and read on those....but if not its useless for you
@@frankkennethdepamaylo4019 Sept for King Henry's letter about Pretty duckies. That's priceless.
No!
Oh my God. Would love to even skim that place a little.
The vatican library really is the holy grail! Simply amazing, a true, beautiful testament to christianity and its history. This is the wonderful side to religion.
@@DJ-sn2wn as opposed to your local store front church?
The holy grail is not an object, but a human being
@@DJ-sn2wn I'm just afraid of what people can do with that knowledge. There must be old books about witchcraft and Satanism
history is history, past is past.. no body can change it... but from me, i very proud because the lbry in vatican city have many book that contain of many type of history. yes we know that beside pope, no body can borrow the book. i think because pope n vatican want to maintain the heritage. once the book's lost, we also lost our civilization and history..
Next time you are at the vatican go get yourself ask for a Vatican library card and see how far you get.
I have one!.
Search for maps of treasures for North Africa
@@knight3121 how to get one?
Vatican library is very beautiful.
Things hidden will come to light.
I liked the end. Morley Safer just inspires me.
I will love to go the Vatican Library. :D :)
Magnificent!
I have a request to the pope Francis. put everything in a computer.and put it on line!!!🇮🇹
Miss you, Morley. Sure would love to know what you think about America circa 2020. Rest in Joy.
What an amazing place! History seen but I think mankind will NEVER change. We do the same atrocities, crimes and sins we [humanity]has always and will always do! Sigh.......
“The only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn from history”
If this is such a treasure for humanity, then why can only the pope take a book out? Why can nobody copy those books and store them digitally so that humanity actually has access to it? The church just doesn't want us to know what is there.
So that pagans and heatens like yourself dont destroy it with your filthy fingers. Beisdes real Christians, yall wouldn’t know what to do with all of it.
do you know how time consuming transcribing, cataloging, and digitizing is while retaining artifact composure so its not damaged?
Ive worked in archiving before in a relatively small archive with stuff usually only back 300 years and we STILL haven’t gotten through all of the stuff. I can only assume the difficulties of the VATICAN archive is magnitudes greater then this.
Its great hearing people who have little knowledge about a subject complaining like they know about it
@@midshipman8654 Are there signs that the Vatican is releasing this information piece by piece, whenever something new is cataloged? Is there an ongoing project that is doing this work? They have enough money to do this and hire the best people and equipment.
Really? I like it! It sounds like grandpa telling me a story :D
Can I read all the details about the Borgia pope?
Really good.
A treasure of humanity that is locked away from humanity....
Well that would ruin all there lies they added to the bible..The Pope is a child molesting, Evil Beast
@@lapat6105 the Bible has lies? They added them to it? More like KJV added and subtracted.
Well all of the archives are catholic related...
it ain't locked away from humanity. thousands of scholars a year, catholic and non-catholic use it.
@@marklomax7452they can take pictures and scan all documents and make it digital for everyone on the internet be able to read. Why hide knowledge?
Nice documentary, Does anyone know if there is any information about the artifacts including relics of early saints that are available? I was doing my research on the Byzantine relics that were lost and later found in the Vatican... I would like know what has survived and what hasn't. Overall I think this is a great treasure to human History.
11 years and no response lol
Alessandro Marzo Magno's book, "Bound in Venice".
So what part of the body is duckies 🐤? The two milk bags, peach behind, or the rose in-between legs?
Love the power and majesty of the Vatican and the history of the great Catholic religion!
I want to read some books. Even if I can't read them, it would be nice to see the pictures
That few people have seen first hand should probably be recreated, as experts of all sorts have access to the Vatican Library, the Vatican Library is more akin to the Library of Congress.
@1maxmorph Yes, Reason and Logic, the best Digital Audio workstations possible! Power to the MIDI!
I wonder what books any of the popes have taken out of the library? I also wonder what the pope from way back then would say about the pope now?
Am I the only one that was yelling "Why aren't you wearing gloves?!" when they were turning the pages of the bible?
me too!
🤠
those are artistic reproductions they are handling not originals. they mentioned it in the text.
Unbelievable that these idiots aren't wearing gloves when handling such treasures!
Gloves for preservation
They are surely required to thoroughly wash their hands before entering...I would hope!
Gloves are overrated
Gloves cause issues, you cannot feel the paper so you are more likely to accidentally tear it.
Show us the real stuff hidden DEEP
YAHWEH is the truth..
Glory To The Triune GOD
Give us the kama sutra book u wont be needing it
2:30 the money of PALESTINE 2000 years ago👂🏽👌
The books so old but they handle them bare hands ✋️ isn't there a better way ...
So only a select few can read these books? Wow that's awesome. Keeping knowledge away from us common folk isn't very Christian!!! I'm a Christian but have no church because the worship of the speaker and not the word. Peace
😂🤦♂️🤡 bro you dont even wash your hands before reading your Bible (thanks to Catholic Church) and you think you could handle this library? Yet alone other treasures and artefacts they have?
Interesting
I want go there
31 miles of books
All Protestants should spend their time learning about Catholic faith and their origin. All their misled hatred towards Catholic churches will be rid of completely. Amen+
Couldnt argee more
The problem is the paedophilia, not the church as such
@ 11:07 that symbo 📚l # "eureka "
The biggest problem is language.Hm...maybe it's not easy to understand about those books,including the meanings of these pictures!!

why sun of god symbol do on the top of so calll 14 cethury bible it shows how it built red flag before you go further::
What does pagan mean?
Someone who doesn’t believe in the main world religions and follows multiple gods that do things for stature and not the good of the world. For example, Greek and Norse mythology.
I want things about North Africa who help me
does anybody else notice the FLAT EARTH map @14:55
@14:55 in a twelve minute video? No, sorry I didn't notice it...
🤣
Yeah, I seen it
I’m sure they got better stuff than love letters and old bibles…
That was odd, I was the 667 like
Search for maps of treasures for North Africa
Why is it close to the public ,
Cause their old stuff they might be damaged if they are too used or expose
treasure to humanity kept from humanity ??? how do you explain that ????????????????????????
it ain't kept from humanity. thousands of scholars a year, catholic and non-catholic use it.

2 Thessalonians Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from us-whether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letter-asserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
The Irish guardian early on has a decidedly evil aura surrounding him. It is not a beatific halo. Bad news in the library for sure.
Was thinking just the same. He's definitely involved in some dark energy stuff.
Did you notice what he said - "the human brain cannot understand" what's in the books...
Sure, cos some of them are as dark as him
Amazing that I too picked up on an evil that is a part of the Irish Priest. He has a supercilious smile, looking down on others . Priests are fake and evil for the most part.
Mmm. Well he's dead. And gosh, being dead is annoying too -.-
Lol
So it’s Not actually a Library, it’s s Museum of Books and only the Pope can take a book from the place.
Why even bother to keep the lights on?
The library can only be accessed by scholars, professors etc. It's simply not open to to regular joe schmoes like you and I (and for good reason)
All these books and they gave us only 66...
Those are collections of variety of books. Not all has religious significance.
Also, it’s the fault of Martin Luther why you only have 66 books in the bible. The original canon of bible has 73 books in the Bible. So the Catholic Bible has complete 73 books of the bible.
the money of "Palestine"
a reminder
A reality check.
Please don't text & drive.
I~*
Hand written and translated by …WHO. Zzzzz accuracies and inaccuracies lol.
How you justify stealing
They stole all this stuff
Fake gods lol.
God Is Real
I would burn the place. Almost no one has acces to them anyway.
I'm catholic why can't I visit
You could be an informant
