I have watched this man turn from a handsome young lad into that one crazy uncle who's a librarian and has infinite knowledge
I stopped watching for like 5 years and forgot his name and content for a bit.
@@awesome_barabado haha
Yes! And it’s been a wild ride!
Too true
I liked him better with out the mustache but always enjoy his videos😊
When my youngest daughter was 6 or 7 she told me they had learned about Mummies in school and about how it was done. So, of course, I asked, "how is that?" To which she quickly responded, "well first, we need a dead body."
No no, she’s got a point 😂
@@snapmyneck8818 It was adorable coming from such a little person with seriousness of an adult. She's always been beyond her years.
Did u die
@@Fatasscock We don't know, lets hope he's still with us.
@@sharkbait3332 I got you just meet in that shady alley and pay up
Since you named the title of the video such, I was expecting you to actually speak more than 45 seconds about little Rosalia . The truth is no mystery , her eyes are actually not entirely shut, but open just a slight. The rest of the effect is an optical illusion caused by the direction, and changing of the light in the room throughout different times of the day and month.
Rosalia was removed from her original air tight glass enclosure several years ago , because it was found to have begun leaking air in , and mild mold had begun to grow on her. She was Re entombed in an entirely vacuum sealed , modern glass casket which is completely environmentally controlled. During this procedure, scientists had the opportunity to clean her up a bit , and discover the reason for the eye mystery.
Looked for a comment like this.
Exactly!!!! Thank you for this info. Thus video is click bait
Thanks i skipped through looking for Rosalia, and missed it
Are her eyes actually "perfectly preserved"?
I would assume not, but it'd be cool if they were!
thank you you saved me from having to watch the video!
I was OBSESSED with all things ancient Egypt as a child, and thus, mummies as well. I don't remember how it started, but I'm surprised my parents weren't completely freaked out and actually continued to buy me books about mummification. At age 19, I went on a study trip to Sicily with my school and naturally, we also visited the catacombs. Loved it. It certainly is kinda weird, if you think about it. But it's indeed remarkable how well preserved some of them are!
Imagine your corpse going through and surviving two World Wars, potential world nuclear annihilation, and other disasters and you are still in one piece.
She lived through World War I
And then being ogled by millions for entertainment.
I must admit your unfoetunate wording made reading this comment hella confusing
@@blablablaj I must admit your unfoetunate spelling made reading this reply hella confusing
@@ZelenskyPlane yeah and I must admit again that your unfoetunate lack of originality make your reply hella cringe 😬
the original commenter corrected his sentence at least, which is nice
13:20 is when he actually talks about the mummy that "blinks"
Thx
bless you.
Thank you. Im tired of the mummy jokes
@@yurnero6219 looks like your mummie wasnt patient
Went straight to find this comment.
I've been there, and I've visisted all the seven sections of the catacombs, including the colatoio, and Rosalia's coffin. The air was so dry and full of dust I couldn't enjoy the visit much but it surely had a huge impact on me! First off, as you enter the place, you're immediately welcomed by an infinite corridor of hanged skeletons and mummies, then, as you walk your way throughout the place, there are cages and small sections. If you ask me, the most terrific one is the children section. I had chills, that definitely scared me. The virgins buried in their section were all crowned with flowers and then you have Rosalia's small coffin right in the center of the last section and it's astonishing. She looks so alive it looks like she's about to open her eyes and talk!
"Honey past it's sell by date" honey never goes bad, you may need to drop the jar into boiling water and leave it there for a bit to kill any microbes in it but honey never goes bad it just cristalizes. There have been archaeologists that have eaten 3000 year old honey from Egyptian tombs and it was fine XD
*its sell by date
Buddy I think honey is frequently removed from store shelves before it crystallizes. Crystallized honey is, uh. Past its sell-by date. Not its eat-by date. 😝
I was looking for this comment lol
My inner spook: fascinating 🖖
sell by ≠ eat by
The mummy has achieved further notoriety for a phenomenon in which her eyes appear to open and close several times a day, revealing her intact blue irises. In response to speculation about her moving eyelids, Piombino-Mascali stated that "It's an optical illusion produced by the light that filters through the side windows, which during the day is subject to change ... [her eyes] are not completely closed, and indeed they have never been". - Wikipedia
Ah yes that explains her perfect irises...O_o
Yo she doesn't have cataracts we should probably take her eye genes and put them in the Covid vaccine
Glass?
@@johnnymnemonic69 makes brilliant sense! In the 1980's on Ripley's believe it or not, Jack Palance even said her skin was still supple. which could account for her eyelids moving due to sunlight's daily heat reflecting from the glass eyes. But then our ideas will always sound stupid to others.
It's so sad seeing baby rosalia in person. She literally looks like she's just sleeping. Of course the catacombs are pretty creepy but I would say well worth a visit. It's a shame the vatican destroyed all information regarding how rosalia was embalmed because they considered it heresy. It would be amazing to know how she is so perfectly preserved. She was such a beautiful little girl and she looks like how you'd imagine a cherub would look with the rosy cheeks and curly blonde hair

@Justin Ebanks he makes it sound like 42 deliberately. It should be obvious why.
@@mjouwbuis aaaaa why?
If you pay attention, you can hear him say "Palmero" instead of "Palermo" 🤭
But his videos are done so well, that you almost don't even notice this happy little accident as Bob Ross would say🤗
i thought i misheard but it seems not
why the emojis
@@North_Dakota probably to show his tone or somethin
That "we don't make mistake only happy little accident" quote remind of a manga where he impregnated 5 girls! Was that a freaking accident!?
@@suyahatesntr he?? You talking about the guy in the video? 😂
he made death funny, round of applause 👏🏼
Lmao
When he first called our collective moms mummies, I thought he was just saying they were old. Then I remembered he's British lmao

I have seen rosalina live 22 years ago. When you stand infront of her, you feel like she is still alive. Maybe she will creep you out at first but you will forget about it because of her beauty. I still remember that warm feeling, watching her sleep until today when i think about her. God bless her.
I’ve been watching your videos since you started CZcams so glad to still be watching to this day, keep it up honest one of the best CZcamsrs out here
"Why does a 100 year old corpse blink twice every day?" this sounds like a weird riddle.
Because it doesn't want it's eyes to 'die' out!

Punch line maybe
Because he's being held captive against his will by the Royal Antiquities Goon Squad!

so informative, witty, amusing and perfectly rendered! I love your videos.
How wonderful the CZcams algorithm is to always recommend me videos like this... specifically and only when it's late at night... and right before bed.
As a proud Sicilian and native of Palermo, I admit that I had chills run down my spine when I heard that "Palmero" even though it's spelled out in a quite distinctive way. Happy to see that someone is still interested in Rosalia though :)
@Oke Ihenacho To be fair, the word "colatoio" is troublesome even for some native speakers so yes, I would agree with you in considering it way more forgivable.
I'm not even italian and it angered me 😂😂
Asian American and I was like wait a sec, he pronounced the city quite oddly.
Wonder what happened to Brits as to why they can't pronounce TH.. they all say it as F..?
As a half sicilian I just started laughing when I heard that ahahahahah
Well, if I ever become an evil necromancer, I know where to find an army of mummies to raise to help take over the world.

Can I join when it happens
Yea me too
Lol
9:30 Ad for looking goof when you’re dead
Got the chance to live in Sicily for 3 years and actually visited that catacombs, its crazy to see something on CZcams that not a lot people get the opportunity to do and actually relate because you've actually witnessed it.

Slipping or sleeping?

Your use of stock footage is something to be admired!

Rosalia wasn't quite 2 years old yet when she died, she would've turned 2 a week after her death (like literally 7 days, she died on december 6th and her birthday was december 13th). It's really sad. I wonder what her life would have been like if she'd lived. Poor little Rosalia.
Also, while we're on the subject of mummies, can you do an episode on the children of llullaillaco? The child sacrifices and their bodies' preservation are both very sad and very fascinating.
Very possible that those mummies weren’t sacrificed but died due to the toxic nature of most the available water in the area ( saturated with lithium)
@@angryatheist No, the children of llullaillaco were most definitely child sacrifices. They walked a thousand miles away from cuzco to mount llullaillaco, were drugged up with alcohol and coca leaves, and then they were killed once they got there. They did not die of natural causes. Those children walked up that mountain knowing that they were going to die.
I mean she propably would have spent a meaningless live and if very lucky died of old age
@@neco5740 or been killed in WWII, like so many others.
@@neco5740 Probably but it's still sad she didn't get to find out.
It’s really sad to see such young kids die though

@Honest John Well, the original isn't written in english at all to begin with...
I watched the entire video and then when he mentioned it, I remembered that I clicked the video to find out why the corpse blinks. I'm not sure I'm complimenting or simply annoyed, but this man has his way to keep the viewers interested!
THIS ☝🏾☝🏾
lol. it's super annoying.
A bit of both.
Doyle Dias 😅😅😅 Same case here
@@jstoneydc23 and
I love his jokes, sarcasm and cheeky comments he sprinkles in throughout his videos. 😂
Clever, interesting and funny presentation. Thank you so much for sharing!
Fun fact: Mummies listen to wrap music.
That was indeed fun 🤣 do you know if they prefer east coast or west coast?
Would that be Christmas music being played at a mall while getting your presents wrapped?
Do they still do that? The last time I actually saw it was probably the early 90s.
I LIKE THAT LOL
It took me a second to get it XD
-_-
I wanted to be mumified and kept in my next of kin's living room. I asked to be decorated for the holidays, which means I'm already set for Halloween. But none of the coroners will get back to me on it.
Hell yeah i wanna be as preserved as the 2 year old girl
Coroner’s don’t preserve bodies. They simply exam them, usually to find a cause of death. The joke would be better if you changed it to “the local mortuary” won’t get back to me.

Pasteurised honey? What's the point then if it lasts for less time?

Great videos, thank you for your effort to make such well researched and well told stories!👏👏👏
I was blessed to see her when I was a child. Her memory has stayed with me my whole life. Amazing
my day has been improoved from that great intro
Yeah but we haven’t had enough time to watch the whole episode yet he posted this 11 minutes ago and you posted your comment 10 minutes ago..

Beautiful in life..and perfect in her preserved state.
R.I.P..little one x
In 2018 I visited the catacombs. It’s crazy walking threw the verious halls full of people who lived in the same place you are standing.
If only they had had O’hare air, all of their bodies would be perfectly preserved to this day!
Didnt the company went bankrupt?
@@shook_mug3786 Damn you didn’t have to expose him 😂
O'hare air with the crappy hair

I've been in the catacombs and saw her there; she really was a beautiful little girl and it's amazing how well they preserved her. When I was there they still didn't know how he did it and believed he kept the secret to his death. It was kind of sad seeing all the families and especially the kids, but it was an interesting experience.
Your content is absolutely fabulous!
The mummy joke in the beginning makes me rubbed my eyes, to the point where everytime you said "mummy" afterwards, I chuckled. 😂
I mean they're 100 years old they're tired bless them.
"Never go up against a Sicilian when death is on the line!"
I'm ever so slightly disappointed that this wasn't referenced here. It has never seemed more apt.

Been there.
Quite a moving experience.

2:23 so much respect for you. Finally someone used Aztec and showed the Aztec calendar, and not referring it to Myan.
Good call
@@walterscogginsakathesilver6246 its drove me crazy for years till finally... someone did it properly.
Interesting fact….
Honey, if sealed properly is one of the only foods on earth that can be stored indefinitely due to the high levels of natural preservatives. So if the Egyptians had sealed the canisters properly, it could still be eaten today🤷🏻♂️🤤🍯
If you're aware of that, then I assume you're also aware that there WAS properly sealed honey found in an Egyptian tomb that a group of people tried?
2, You Crack Me UP, Mate !!
Much Success, Bro.
Long Life.
When I was at 0:36 I was convinced he was gonna say they mistook the mummy for your mom
3:46 "Palmero", thats a quite fancy name for Palermo😂✌🏼
When he made the joke about wearing a shirt and braces in hundreds of videos, he meant suspenders. Braces is the European English word for them.
suspenders is so god damn yankie :D
RedEngineer, thank you for clarifying that. I wondered about his statement. I didn't recall ever seeing "braces" or why he would point out such a thing.
@@amojak haha
My first thought after he said that was that he meant a back brace of some kind. And we didn't find out about his back brace until this moment. And why would he bring that up?
Suspenders holdup sexy stockings.
I love the moments like- "before setting sail to... well anywhere else."
Lol😂
Goodness I really enjoyed this video. His jokes throughout... oh how I loved them!
The Capuchin Catacombs is one of the spookiest places on earth. A chance to face death up close and think about life. Go to Palermo, it's a fascinating city. The puppets, the strange architecture, the street food, and this haunted place made it even better than Rome for me. And that's saying quite a bit.
"Palmero"
Rome sucks
@@mizomint4197 it has lots of cool stuff to see but the city itself wasn't all that well taken care of the last time I went there
@@Booklat1 In my personal opinion, the best way to experience culture is to go to where the locals eat and live their regular lives outside of tourist traps. The culture of a place is seldom relative to what you find in museums and art galleries. But, to each their own.
@@mizomint4197 and what part of what I said gave you the impression I just did museum tours?
I did a lot of that the first time I went but also spend a considerable amount of time getting free drinks from the hotel's bartender and getting cheap pizza from takeouts. I think mostly importantly, of course, I didn't just stay in rome in either time I went to italy.
those were great vacations tbh
''By mummy nature'' *Facepalm. This is why i love this channel.
Even when you could see it coming a mile away... I still laughed out loud at the delivery! 🤣

This is a really interesting channel. Just found it and have been binging.

Despite not being a fan of morbid things, that's a place I feel like I'd like to visit, some day. And then immediately regret doing it on the same night and the subsequent nights due to the nightmares I'll likely have, but still... sounds like an interesting experience to be had at least once in life.

“I need more sleep.” Me at 3:00 AM: “Oh a Thoughty2 video I haven’t seen yet!”
So, "Why does this mummy blink?" "We don't know."
Fun fact mummy brown is an oil paint that has been banned from use for a long time because actual mummy bits were ground up and added to it for the color development
Beautiful production quality, especially the animations. Very well done. Lots of good humor, too! Love it.

Of course eating mummies was superstitious, while consuming gut bacteria has been proven to have benefits for some people

You should do a stroy on that one guy who preserved his daughter and she literally looks like she is still just sleeping. He swore he'd never share his secret (Tesla props) and she is on display. It is beyond scarey how well preserved she is.
