Ancient Historian Describes How the Egyptians Made Mummy’s
Переглядів 4586 місяців тому
The ancient Egyptians practiced mummification to preserve the body after death, believing it essential for the spirit's survival in the afterlife. They developed this process around 2,500 years before Christ, which involved removing internal organs, drying the body with salt, stuffing it to maintain shape, and wrapping it in linen. Mummification was a status symbol and not exclusive to pharaohs...
He really let him have it.
Fcuk UA-cam and its endless fcuking ads.
I'm sure Thomas Jefferson helped instigate this
What makes you say that
One day both King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette will be formally recognized as Martyrs of the True Faith. Once the Holy Church itself is purified of evil infiltrators, they will be canonized.
Womp womp.
This could have been handled better, i pretty sure Elisabeth regrated her decision
And yet the gap between the have’s and have nots is greater than ever
I’m glad history has told the truth about her.
Interesting, I didn't know Thomas Jefferson was in Paris during the French Revolution. I have no doubt he helped instigate it.
I'm not hearing anything !😮
Now I do after I commented ! I dunno....
Biggest mistake made by the french overthrowing the monarchy

@@CollegeHistorian I have watched the Marie Antoinette video. Like your channel !
Thank you:)
France has been cursed ever since.
I don’t believe she tried and killed queen elizabeth 1 it was all a rouse she didn’t want her to take the throne which belonged to Queen Mary of the Scot’s she should have took it by her right and her son was a horrible king and I am so glad I didn’t live in this time the monarchy treated their people like scum and let them starve and just die
the stupidity of peasant who jealous with the the royal. they are still one man who in reign who can be corrupt either he called king or president. shit head.
Just let her go. Why kill her
I have great sympathy and empathy for this lady who faced her KARMA with dignity!
What happened to my comment? Disappeared as soon as i penned it!!
Terrible 😢😢😢
Really what did Mary do to the protestants, much worse 🙄
What a wonderful video with the most beautiful storyline .
Thank you so much!
When those clinging to power seek to rule by evil and terror, no one but a coward or hypocrite is safe. Perhaps soon history will repeat itself, sadly. It usually does.
Very nicely done video and very nicely chosen graphics too.
Thank you very much!
(Slight corrections below. I noticed the platform reversed-out, my previous corrections). Sorry. 1:49 -- In that moment seeing all those people lined up along the streets MUST have seemed to King Louis XVI, as though the whole of France had come to witness his final end. Even sitting here watching the video and looking at that one print of everyone lining the streets it really takes your breath away. One can only imagine what his majesty was thinking about in hat one moment.
Geez, it wouldn't have cost the producers of this video more than 2 minutes to review WHY she they took her head. In a sense, this whole video is the END to the Beggining and the Middle. What kind of story telling is that?
What is the list of music played on here?
curious to know as well
Mary ‘Queen’ of Trannies! It’s a Biological MALE, they all were, and they all still,are! It’s a worldwide agenda!
Pierre de Bourdeille was not an eye-witness to the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. She was born in December 1542 and died in February 1587 - thus, she was 44 years-old when she died, not 'barely forty'. Bourdeille is not a reliable source.
thank you for the feedback:)...Pierre de Bourdille was indeed present at Mary's execution however i do agree with you on reliability. His account is more sympathetic towards Mary and he does leave a few things out. Would you happen to know other eyewitness accounts that less biased?
Is it true she never said " Let them eat cake"?
Marie was sold by her mother to the French court to strengthen the Austrian and French relationship
Elizabeth is overrated, I don’t know why people idolize her.
defeating the Spanish Armada, following on from her father's work on the navy and turning England into a strong and dominant naval power, defending England from Scotland and actually turning the Scots into a permanent ally, increasing literacy in England......
The French are descended from the revolting savage Mob that did this. Thats why France is always doomed. Evil bloodlines.
Well wrong Queen 👑 But they both are dead
Why do the French 🇫🇷 have tree lined boulevards? So invading armies can can march in the shade 😆 In World War 2 most of them collaborated with the Nazis because they were frightened cowards. Even in these times nearly half the population voted for Marie Le Penn who is a Nazi. So what has changed? Nothing. 🇫🇷 Arrogance & ignorance are national traits. They will always be peasants regardless of financial wealth. You can’t educate pigs.
I hated how Ridley Scott portrayed this scene in his awful Napoleon movie. It was void of dignity or emotion of any kind, which left me feeling NOTHING for the character.
Seems to be the first hand account of the executioner’s daughter, not the executioner.
The revolution was a crap show. The “storming of the bastille” was like a scene out of Monty Python. Nothing like Andrew Loyd Webber’s musical. Then the Jacobins took over and started chopping heads. All in the name of safety.
Wouldn't expect less from Henry VIII's daughter.
That painting was of Lady Jane Gray,not Mary Queen of Scots!!!
Regardless, it’s still a transgender. It’s a dude!
Lets not forget, at the time of this letter and Alexanders victory over Darius he was 23 years old!!! I couldnt get my son out of bed when he was 23!
He was just str8 up gangsta
Lol
I think its time i start playing Fortnite.
Human go to all extreme for money and power.
As a mother, it would be extremely heart wrenching to leave behind my babies. rest in peace to her son Louis. They treated this little boy brutally to the point of death.
The image is of Lady Jane Gray.
Which image? The death mask at the start I saw before. She looks like Hollywooder Jodie Foster.
She overstayed her welcome 😀😀😀
The image is of Lady Jane Gray.
😔
Image is not Mary.
Alexander was the best conqueror in history...prove me wrong
Alexander conquered 5.2 million square kilometers, whereas Ghengis Khan conquered 24 million square kilometers. Meaning, Temujin (Ghengis Khan) conquered 4.6 times more territory than Alexander did.
More territory does not mean better. Ghengis Khan was a simple savage
All the pointless death cause by Christian religions smh
The Armada, was being built to invade long before, Mari Stuart was executed, Philip was mad Elizabeth let her Sea Dogs, to attack and steal whatever they wanted from his ships. He lost millions to Elizabeth's Sea Dogs, in 2024, they stole what would have been a few billion. Mari wasn't a Queen she lost that right when she abdicated the Scottish crown. While she had a blood claim to the Tudor Crown, Henry VIII, wrote the Scots out the English line of succession. She had no legal claim to Elizabeth's crown. James shouldn't have been King of England yet he was protestant, so he was the right choice to unite the two countries. Had she not plotted against Queen Elizabeth, she would have lived a longer life. Mari was born 8 December 1542, she was executed, 8 February 1587, aged 44.
