Frozen In Time: The Historical Relics Hidden In The Alps | Frozen Secrets

- The glaciers of the Alps are melting down due to climate change, releasing an invaluable treasure - artefacts, human beings and other testimonies of the past preserved in the ice. Historians have found objects from the First World War when the Frontline was over 3,000 metres high. The objects today make us aware of how hard the lives of soldiers were at these altitudes. Also glacier archaeologists found wooden remains from the Bronze Age that give us fascinating information about life about 4,000 years ago. A very special discovery were the remains of a couple that died on the glacier 75 years ago. Their daughter Marceline had never given up hope that her parents would one day be found - the ice made it possible.

My great grandfather was in the Italian Army in WWI, he was only 17 when he enlisted. He went with 4 brothers, they all came back alive. When they came back after serving the entire war, he and his brothers drunk 8000 liters of wine just that year! In 1920 he came to Brazil only with the clothes that he was wearing, and built his life from nothing! Today I am an officer in the brazilian Army, I think that I was influenced by all the storys of him that my grandma always told us, I always had in my mind that he was the representation of honor, and all I want is one day meet him and hear that he was always proud of me!
Great story, great men very tough times. What an inspiratipn👍
*favela's*
Also my great grandfather fought against the Austro-Hungarians at the battle of Vittorio Veneto

Thanks for your wonderful stories. My grandfather's WWI stories fascinated and awed me too. Not just the battles, but little things such as "what we wouldn't do for a clean, dry pair of socks" (he fought in the trenches in France), and as I little girl I thought I too would follow in his and my father's footsteps until I grew up to realize women didn't fight. lol
The guys who fought in the Alps were a different breed.
It’d be my pleasure to be the 1st human in history to view this video 😌
And that is true ☺️😎
ABSOLUTELY FASINATING FILM ! ...Never seen "time-laps photography" of glacier
movement ! Wow ...like watching a river of ice in the "Spring Thaw". Archaeology has
always fasinated me and this film is fun to watch as they find things frozen in the Alps .
My grandparents were Swiss Germans so, I can relate and love the Alps !
Thanks Timeline for the wonderful video ! Grandpa Ron😊👍👍👍
One awesome presentation...Thank you.
This was a great episode!
When I was younger, I never understood how the discovery of remains could affect their next of kin, esp not when it would have been impossible to have survived. But now that I've lost a loved one without any remains... I still can't explain it any better than I'd heard before, I can't intellectualize it. But it hits different.
This was a fascinating topic, if grim. It's emotionally easier to learn about ancient peoples, because of the disconnect there. Even world war 1 is a bit easier, because the connection is very near the edge of living memory, if it is at all-- there are, what, about a dozen or so people over 110yo? The letters from the great grandfather were touching, but still a bit removed. But the daughter who finally could put her parents to rest... it's rough. I'm so glad she got that closure, though.
Sorry for your loss!
Is there a missing person report made of your loved one? If you don't know, you can file one yourself with your local police department.
I love history before World War One. Anything newer is too upsetting.
@@cruisepaige I think so too
Originally, I said, "Whew, an hour long, I don't know if I want to watch so long!" But by the end? I was saying, "Already?" That was great! So interesting!
I had exactly the same reaction: "Over already?" Riveting.
Me too.
Amazing ,Stunning . One of the better Doco's I have seen . Human History , fantastic , but are we going to repeat it , say , the last 100yrs or so , or do we learn and admire our past ????
I enjoy seeing different cultures and little things they do. It seems singing was an important thing for the family at the end. My upbringing was much different but I enjoy seeing the differences
Not quite what I was expecting when I started watching this documentary. But I really enjoyed. It. Very interesting.
Amazing documentary on every level. 💫💫
Fascinating Documentary, thank you for sharing!!
Great to receive this notification today Absolutely superb👍
Brilliant and respectful well done .
I didn't realize so many people died, 180,000 men. My father and his 5 brothers were all in the United States Navy. My dad was in the Pacific and stationed in Hawaii. So proud of him, he was in the battle of Leyte Gulf and part of the few support ships that were left to battle alone against the Japanese fleet of destroyers.
our alps have been tunneled by italians and austrians, still today many caves are discovered because there are so many up there
You should definitely be proud of your father! Men like him and his brothers put their life’s on the line for us to be free today, bless him and you
I have a relative that was on those very same ships in that very same Gulf!
This is the best archaeology documentary I have seen in years, and one of the best I've ever seen.. So well done.
This is the best Archaeology documentary I'd seen for awhile;

@@Markos581973 this is the best piece of cinematography that I have ever seen in my life by far.
This is the BEST comment section I've ever been in, in my whole entire life, EVER !
It's focking unbelievable !!!!!
We were in his seed sack years and years ago. What a trip
Excellent documentary. Amazing amount of life stories and achievements found on one mountain spanning 4000 years.

LllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllL
Okay thanks for for the help for
Aa
great documentary.
really interesting vid. thank you.
Please keep the great videos coming friend from Scotland 👍
*Amazing doc!!!*
Quite informative part of History
The WW1 and the WW2 destroyed Europe and so many European lives. Hungary was devastated and humiliated after both wars. Italy, Austria-Hungary and others, fighting in the mountains ⛰🏔, suffered so much. It was a terrible time for humans.
Excellent documentary 👏👏🍿
Some of the RAF bombers flew through the Alps. The Short Stirling bombers that bombed northern Italian industrial centres had to fly through the Alps as their ceiling was not that great and when heavily laden this led to such precarious flights and these must have been nerve-racking.
I'd already read about the dugout from WW1 and how the retreating ice had uncovered it. Well, they do say it's getting warmer but evidently the area that bunker was in was not glaciated and then sometime between then and now it became glaciated...and now it isn't anymore. Will it be frozen once again in the future? Nat Geo's new issue has a map of the Alps showing where glaciers are retreating due to a lower volume of snowpack year to year. Conversely some areas of the Alps have been experiencing increasing snowfall year to year, which I suppose would make glaciers in those sections advance.
Stop making sense
Shhhhhhhh🤫
Wow! I honestly thought everyone was buying that "climate change" nonsense.
I am truly amazed. 4 people in one comment thread.
Seriously...wow!
@@adambane1719 five- but how can we affect public policy? After all, climate change has more to do with political science or climate religion than natural science.
"Is this my beautiful wife? How did I get here?'
I have no idea why watching this made me so emotional.
Just let it go

My grandfather signed up for WWI inTulsa, Oklahoma in 1918. He was an immigrant from Mexico. He was not allowed to join because he was too old(34). I have his military draft card. He wanted to serve his new country. He went back to Mexico in the 1930’s due to the “dust bowl “ during the depression. There was nothing to eat and they were starving in Oklahoma. Most that left went to California or Arizona.
Thanks!
Totally unaware of this aspect ofWW1,most documentaries give the impression that it is all muddy trench warfare.This was a revelation,especially the time capsule mountain cabin where newspapers were found.
And some fighting in WWI was in the Middle East and even Africa.
Archeologists, among others were shocked, upset at how reckless that body (Otzi?) was exhumed from the glacier
Didn’t they think at first that he was a victim of a recent homicide? Like within a year or two? It was only after he was exhumed from the ice and carried to the laboratory that it became clear how old he was.
My great grandfather is ,sir John mcfadyean. My Great great Grandfather Was the General of the Scottish army And our family Still owns the castle
Yes and I am the king of Siam and I do believe you were one of my subjects
Thank you
this is excellent
...no alps are more...vertical than any other mountain range, its like they were fighting a war in caves and snow and ice on a vertical battle field, these men, on both sides, had some big brass ones just fighting in those conditions...brave men....
My great uncle an infantryman in the 13th Bersaglieri died October 16 1916 in the mountains when the Austrians shelled a bridge he was passing.
Well done well done .
@ 22'38" I don't know about the team, but, I see what that guy is excited to have found...... lol
Ah . Saw it, kept it to myself.
Now this documentary is made 💯 percent correct period !!! Bless day
Having steam bent hundreds of lengths of wood and built iron age buildings with pine shakes and iron age roundhouse also, I can say that 4000 years ago they would have used the more recent turkoman technique to bend wood... you soak the wood laths first, then place into a chimney made in the ground of earth that allows a fires smoke to pass gently upward at a slight angle. The hot smoke heats the pre soaked laths and when soft you form it around a former and pin or tie it into place.

Very cool video....but was anyone else wondering what a splint box was? They were talking as if it's a common everyday type of item.
You don't have a splint box??
How do you manage every day without a splint box?
Man, wake up and get yourself focking splint box.
HEEEEEEEEY...!!!!
ANYBODY GOT A SPLINT BOX FOR KARL...??
....your name would have to be 'Karl', wouldn't it !
Like a picnic box
EXCELENTE DOCUMENTÁRIO......
Thanks for tipping me off early on about the global warming propaganda. That saved me a some time.
Strange & Unique Matter of this Video
This Video i like i already watch the one about vietnam and ww2 and 1 to i love watching his vids
Totally unaware of this aspect of WW1,most documentaries give the impression

I read with horror how few express disgust at war. The hardship & miseries suffered by young, innocent soldiers told should light up the conscience of readers, but most glorified their ancestors instead of condemnation of conflicts between nations. Current Russia Ukraine situation just reinforced how forgetful we are of history! Shame on mankind.
Great documentary. But I dos not understood why Tenzing Norgaye's photograph is used on the opening still?
Does it not sound cheap and questions the quality of production?
I think that most people, me included, would imagine that needing people so high up in the mountains wasn’t necessary, being attacked from the near impossible routes over most mountains would be nigh on impossible in any great numbers or with anything like the equipment and supplies needed for even a few days, so for me this documentary is quite an eye 👁 opener, these observation posts are incredible, rudimentary to say the least, but nonetheless incredibly ingenious and daring in the way they were positioned and constructed, and once up there a huge strategic advantage. Thanks for sharing this very interesting and informative video. 😀👍🇬🇧🏴
Hannibal did it to the Roman’s
Well, I guess I’m not most people, because I can see the advantage of having eyes in the skies. Remember planes weren’t as good as they were during the Second World War, they were still made of cloth with wooden frame with very low autonomy, so placing men on a mountain overlooking an area can be very useful to see enemy movements both on the ground and in the air. In war knowledge is one fourth of a victory, the other three are logistics, which, as my opinion as the son of a Canadian veteran who did three turns in Afghanistan, are literally the most importants, strategy and the soldiers themselves.
Okay so only 1/3 of the way through and this is awesome. One thing though, wouldnt you think the guy scrapping 💩 off the newspaper would want to wear gloves? Lol
Not to mention our body’s/skin carry oils to that can damage materials/paper , if I was ever to handle anything that old I’d be wearing gloves regardless of anything cause I wouldn’t want to cause accidental damage . I hate seeing ppl handle old stuff with out gloves , there professionals they should know this . Or maybe they don’t care as much cause they have multiple artifacts better then it , but even still I say they should care regardless ,it’s a piece of earth history.
Thanks Dave , 💪😎👍 🇺🇸 🙏 🇨🇦 💚
That's dope! They didn't drop bombs on the cities. Dropped them in the mountains.
I wonder if some of the gallories and caves might be worth restoring/shoring up both for their history and as emergency shelters for modern hikers and climbers.
Σπουδαίο ντοκιμαντέρ!!!
#WOW!
Examines someones old used toilet paper with NO GLOVES
Sigrid I love You!
See the film "Gebirge in Flammen". You can get it on amazon.
VERY INTERESTING INDEED
well you said it
Why is Tenzing Norgay on the thumbnail??
These guys are freaking pro's on the second mountain top.
They thought to bring a freaking torpedo heater.
Listen to the Sabaton song: Soldier of heaven. It will add to the volume of the story. #Sabaton
my dads grandmother came from a family of 9 children, she had 5 brothers, all of which died in the war. :( They fought on the Italian front from my understanding, and also fought russians but i am not sure about that.
QUESTION - Please answer if possible: The hut perched at the mountain top was shown full of ice. They put a hot air fan in the window to thaw the ice. They hoped to find the hut filled with equipment, due to the officers fleeing first. Did the video ever show the results of the thawing? Did they find the hut full of stuff? If they did, I missed it, thanks.
I wish that I could find me some treasure.
The mystery of the German airplane was no mystery at all.
The Swedish Metal band has done a song about this war The Soldier of Heaven.
Something odd about the incendiary bombs is those were typically Allied incendiary bombs because of the shape unless the Axis changed the casing later on in the war which is probably true but still.
Our Earth, Climate, and it's Inhabitants, are an amazing dance through Time. The off chance situations claiming and protecting remains for thousands of years prove how inaccurate the Mainstream Academics stories are and how limiting their Paradigm proves to be.
A most moving documentary.
Thoughts of Strength and experiencing of Harmony, Peace secure to the Peoples of the Ukrainian Today are the immediate results that come to mind.
They are and will be free, as all desire.

Timeline needs a history lesson Germany didn’t start ww1… I’m surprised such a reputable source would make that mistake
Yep. I immediately keyed on that and looked for comments so I wouldn't be repetitive. Did the German Reich start World War One or what? Maybe the Russian Empire has a lot to do with it, the French Republic, the Austro-Hungarians, British....hmm, let's take a look at the Balkans....
There is no consensus on which nation started WWI but Germany is usually considered the guilty party more so than other nations.
It’s more like the Hulu for history
This *YES* I prefer Hulu
Yup,
Why use Tengiz Norgey's photo on doc abt Alps? He summited Everest, not Alps
its amazing to still learn the totality of landscapes we will kill each other on
The Lady looking for her parents on the glacier seems to have a elongated head as seen in some ancient Egyptians and a small group of people in the Andes mountains.
So they find an old toilet and the commentator says, sadly the researchers can't get into it... Lol
Now we are exposing objects from under glaciers, when there was no ice in the medieval warm period, and then the climate changed.
We need to listen to the old people about this current situation they will predict which evil is to come
what's in the box?
If that woman was smart she would take that diary to a publisher have it printed.👍
Damn I wish I could go there and climb around always climbing a mountain big kind of boring I mean till he got to the top in the views but at least this one has some freaking artifacts to look at how cool and sad
I don't understand why they would fight in the mountains
Lots of references to "Raffia" Oh boy. .."raffia (n.)
So how did her parents die? Didn't say.
never split up as a pair 99% of missing people are missing at the piont of the split DO NOT SEPERATE tie yourself to your friend
I'd like to know what year this was made, if it's recent, like within the last year or two I'd be concerned about the cavalier attitude that was being taken towards the scraps of newspaper from the outhouse, the scraps that the narrator said may possibly have vestiges of the Spanish Flu on them. We just came out of one pandemic, we don't need some freak, mutated version of Spanish Flu from high in the Alps being brought down into the balmy lowlands where it can thaw out and...introduce itself.
I just hope someone is paying attention to this stuff...
The recent one came out of a lab, fully engineered and ready to go.
not climate change🤦, it is solar cyclical events which everything is affected by.
Correct, because if there are objects from human origin it must have been warmer. The ice moves in and out due to natural cyclical changes.
what happens when you spray a co2 fire extinguisher on bottles in a bucket 🤔🤔 they cool down and not warm up 🤷🤦 why are the migratory animals going against known animals migratory routes for new routes and destinations 🤷 why does the planet consist of multiple magnetic poll positions in different parts of the world(Bermuda Triangle) 🤷 🤷
I would not have wanted to clean the newspaper that was used for toilet paper, the cold weather would have preserved the Poooo.....
to bad they can't 3d print each piece and work with that to assemble it
19:09 'Perfectly preserved'? It looks pretty screwed up to me.
Yeah. I'd say partially preserved, or mostly intact.
Hey, pick up the hut with a chopper
Trench warfare mountain style.
No trenches.
It proves, that it was a lot warmer at the time when the materials were placed there, climate change is nothing new after all🤗
Natural climate change not man made
I think it proves that you don’t have a very good grasp of what the science does or doesn’t say. But thanks for trying
Exactly it was warmer 3000 years ago ,then froze ,,then got warmer , then it froze and on and on ,, anybody not seeing it it's a bloody fool and a 🐑 ITS A CICLE

This makes Afghanistan look like a walk in the park.
Hey what was in the 4,500 year old box ?? Hellooo????
These diaries show the utter pointlessness of the “fight.” What was gained by fighting for the government of Wilhelm? Nothing. And worse yet, nothing was learned.
Imagine studying for years to get a University degree only to end up scratching human excrements off an old newspaper and writing an ecstatic post card home about it....
