The DARK Truth About What They Did To Mummies!

- Why are there so few mummies left?
The answer to this question is a lot more dark and disturbing than you’d expect.
It’s estimated that more than 70 million people were mummified over the 3000 year time period where mummification was carried out in Egypt.
So this begs the question, where are all these mummies? Because apparently, in modern times, mummies seem to be quite rare.

As an armchair archaeologist, I was aware of the paint and of the strange uses of mummy flesh and bones for medicine. Just weird by modern standards. But then, there were cultures where eating your defeated enemy's brains was considered appropriate. I swear, nothing surprises me about human customs these days. Thanks for the presentation and glad you're recovering apace.
I heard somewhere that mummy unwrapping parties were quite the rage for a while as well.
I'm not sure Zombies count as a 'Culture''.
Who else was eating Brains?
These details about ancient Mummies are disgusting and very sad, I had no idea --- Also I'm glad Kayleigh came through surgery ok and is healing up
Surgery? What happen to her?? First m hearing this... .. .
@@troygach9228 she had to have a hysterectomy. Check her community posts on her channel page for more details.
@@troygach9228 I vaguely remember her mentioning health problems in the past, but I forgot what the details were. So, I'm also curious.
@@troygach9228 I had a hysterectomy on May 24th
Omg i hope your all good now and that wasn't to hard on and your family
People are still "really weird"....
Good to see you out and about Kayleigh!
As a former art student, I have a half forgotten memory about the macabre origin of a certain pigment being made from mummified corpses... spoilers? Maybe? Regardless, looking forward to seeing Kayleigh back in action!
They made cure all medicine out of the ground mummy dust as well
Many thousands of mummified cats were also sent from Egypt to England to be processed for used in fertilizer.
P.S.
I'm happy you're doing well, and enjoy your trip to Turkey.
So, before the internet and its unboxing videos, there were unboxing parties!
What's that about much change, little progress?
I'm glad you are recovering. I'd had heard in college that mummies were ground up for medical purposes but I had no idea it was that extreme.
One thing I heard about was that the steam trains in Egypt used to use mummies for fuel. Apparently a lack of local coal/wood meant it was cheaper than using imported fuel. They saved royalty for when going up an incline as they apparently burned better.
I had heard the same thing, though what I remember is that they used mainly cat and crocodiles mummies.
@@williamharrold1422 Hey, Pets afterlives matter as well!
Almost certainly fiction, attributable to Mark Twain apparently. A fully desiccated mummy would have terrible energy capacity, relative to the space it would take up. Might as well just burn gauze bandages and kindling, since the fat (the useful part) would be all but gone.
You beat me to it, by a day!
@@CineSoar I can't speak to the truth of this story, but the energy capacity may not be as bad as you expect. Mummies were generally coated with pitch and bitumen, which does stick around nicely for millennia.
It's good to see you back in action Kaleigh. I hope you feel better soon.
Years ago I saw a video that showed that mummies were used as fire wood in locomotives. It showed them actually feeding the mummies into the firebox. I don't know if it was real, but I do remember it.
Good luck on your recovery.
I saw that too, in it a witness told of a driver telling the fireman to throw a partician in, those plebeian have no fat
I'd always felt that an incredible idea for a modern Mummy horror movie would be based around a mummy unwrapping party. Sure, it would be one of those horrors where you actively want the killer to win, but that's why it would be such a dark twist. You wouldn't start off with the party, you'd just be seeing these people being murdererd in more & more elaborate, horrific, Egyptian-related ways, until the finale, where it's revealed what they did to receive the avenger's rage.
You could go supernatural with a ghost/mummy or reincarnated Ancient Egyptian taking revenge on them for defiling their loved ones' corpse, or just make it a modern Egyptian taking revenge for, well, (points at conquest & colonisation of Egypt by so many foreign powers throughout history). All the stuff they've been doing to mummies would be done to them - "unwrapping," painting pictures with ground-up flesh, taking lucky trinkets in the form of feet or hands, etc.
Usually Mummy media centers around the modern perspective, but this would be an interesting study on a thematic & literal level.
Here a real horror movie material,it's about 'historian girl',who couses time paradox.And destoroys humans future,just by saying that fake history is real history.And then she travel back in time,in 5508BC,and make real mess of things by altering historical facts to hers liking.
Happy to see you recovering, I knew about the sales of mummies but not details of their use.
I knew mummies were harvested for commercial purposes, but not the fine details of the practices involved.
I was unaware of how numerous mummies were and why they no longer exist. Thank you. The format of the video was fine and hope you recover quickly.
I had no idea about any of this and I thank you for educating me about this strange subject. Glad to hear that you're recovering well.
It warms my heart that you are healing and getting better.
You look fabulous.........standing or sitting.
Mummy brown........I learned much today.
I have this powerful urge to have boiled carrots only today.........no meat.
May have something to do with powdered mummy mixed in pasta.......Ugh.
Still.......an eye opening experience today.......thank you Kayleigh.
Feel better soon Kayleigh! Thanks for the mummy moments...Gave the phrase "I want my Mummy" a whole new meaning for me...😊
I'm glad to here you're recovering and I'm sorry you had to go through this at your age. My wife had one a couple decades ago and it takes a little while to get back to normal. Please know that we are rooting for you and hope you're doing even better in the near future.
Well.... you were the barer of bad news but this was still fascinating.
I hope you get well and recover from your surgery as soon as possible. Thank you for creating these videos. It is appreciated.
Best wishes for your recovery, Kaylee!
This was indeed disturbing and completely new to me. Thank you!
Greetings from Poland ! Good to see you in good shape... Stay safe.
New to me. We in the states can agree to body part harvesting after we die. Medical cannibalism remains a thing.
I knew about the medical cannibalism part, but I think this is the first time I've heard of the "mummy brown" color. For some reason, I find the latter creepier.
Great video! I knew some of the information you shared (about some cultures consuming body parts for so-called medicinal purposes), but I still learned a whole lot! All of the best for your healing process after the operation.
I knew the story well, there's multiple videos on youtube on the subject. But I hadn't heard about the rock and mistranslation before, so I was genuinely pleased to learn something new.
Well as far as I know a lot of them were in 1850s and later were exported and sold to be used for soilimproovement to get better harvests. Also some traincompanies used them as an addition to coal and wood to heat the furnace in locomotives. (So edit here it seems that part with the train fuel being mummies was a joke invented by Mark Twain).
First off, I wish you a speedy recovery. I did know about the eating mummy's and using them for paint. But I do enjoy your delivery and how well and indepth you research your topics.
I knew about people thinking mummies having moma in them. I think it was because the mummies were dark and blackened over time. I kept thinking that these people were practicing cannibalism. Imalso wondered how many mommies have been lost because of this.
Glad to here you are recovering, nice to see you again. Take care.
Thinking about those practices makes me feel sick.
But thank you Kayleigh anyway, for this information!
Great video Kayleigh, I did learn something from your video as usual. Thank you. I hope your recovery continues to go well. As for the standing VS sitting, I think I preferred the standing because you seemed a bit more physically expressive in your body language, but please do whatever is best for you. Take care, be well, and keep on keeping on. 🙂
Glad you're up and about.
The use of mummies as medicine and paint is dark news indeed. I knew of mummy unwrapping 'parties' in Victorian times. And I've seen photos of piles of mummies being used as fuel for steam trains. BUT, the medicine and the paint??...that's pretty dark.
I had heard about the mummy eating parties of the 19th century but didn't know what they were about until this video. I didn't know about the other stuff. Very scary to think about.
Darn. I missed the premiere.
70 million mummies? Oh wow. What a story. If no idea. Thanks Kayleigh!
Glad to see you posting again Kayleigh. Hope the recovery is going well.
I had no idea! Thank you for the information! I really enjoy your channel!
I had heard of some but not all of these practices. Another thing i have heard of was that in the late victorian era Mummy unwrapping parties where held just for curousity.
I had heard of this before, but, did not know that there were that many mummies that were bought and sold. Wow. So happy to hear that you are feeling better.
Thanks, Kayleigh, for another interesting presentation. However, I'm going to keep mum on my previous knowledge as to whether or not I knew any of this dark stuff.
I was going to guess grave robbers, but this takes it to a whole other level! Kayleigh, as usual another fascinating topic! Glad your recovery is going well.
Good to see you and your content Blessings to You and a speedier recovery 😊
The consumption of mummy powder is pretty well known. But I didn't know they were using mummies to make paint.
Best wishes for you and your recovery. You're doing great work and we all appreciate you.
Very interesting. I had no idea about any of that. All the best to get well soon.
I had known of using the remains as medicine, but I had no idea of the remains being used as pigment for paint. It is nice to see you, Thanks.
Glad to see you doing well. Major surgery is along recovery don't rush it. Take care.
All the best with the healing. You're looking really good!
I just wanted to mention...
Your picture in the intro (with hair across half your face)...
WOW!
Every image of you is great too, but that one must be my favorite... ❤️
That used to be the channel's profile picture for about a year or two.
But I updated it because my appearance has changed a bit as I grow older 😊
You're a Splendid Beauty!
It seems to me that a lot of mummies just fell apart over time . And others were " torn " apart by tomb robbers looking for treasure . I've read wear they were also used for fuel for trains. So much for the Vaunted Mummies Curse ! All this is what makes Tut's tomb so important . Thanks for a facinating video , Kayleigh ! Ps. Glad your feeling better and up and about . Have a great day !
It's great to see you back with a new video Klee! And who would've thunk? Of course the video would be on Egypt! 😂Awesome! I was just wondering how you were doing. What a wonderful surprise on an otherwise dull day. And it's so wonderful to hear you are doing well. OH! I like the video too 😅Strange type of Vampirism in some regard 🦇 And Paint ... I think I'll stay away Browns and Tans from now on... 😄 I hope your recovery continues to go well 👍 All the best, M.
Glad to see you are getting better. Thank you for the video. I didn't know about these depths of disturbing practices that are thankfully in the past around here.
Sorry to hear about your medical procedure, your standing takes nothing away from your presentation, so please don't worry about it. As always you provide very good presentations. Please know we appreciate your good work.
I've never heard of this but unfortunately I'm not surprised. You can't put anything past what humans have or will do.
Glad you are back on. Hope the health issues are better after your hiatus!
I love your videos! Have a speedy recovery!
In beginning of the video I thought that the reason for the low quality of mummy was because they were used as substitute of wood as fuel. But it was eye opening. In other subjects thank you for your efforts. I hope full and swift recovery.
Stay strong, you look fine. It's the information that is most important.
Thank you for another interesting video. I think I once read mummies were used as fuel but that can't be serious. Wishing you a rapid and full recovery.
Glad you are back! You were the bearer of bad news. Never knew this.
Cool video! It's nice to have you back. I hope you're feeling better
Glad to hear your healing well. I’ve been around family that have had that surgery also and it just takes a while. No need to apologize. Just glad to see well enough to put something together. Take care.
Mummy parties back in the day !
They would open them up and consume them !!
And look for jewels !!!
Escape rooms were built different back then
This is fascinating!! No I must admitI I never knew about this! Thank you Delphi! Get better soon
It is good that you are doing well and recovering. When I was in elementary school we were told about the use of mummies for medical purposes. I think this is the first time I heard about mummy brown. Another thing I remember being told was that mummies were used as decorations around houses and sold for that purpose. Those in Europe need to check the attic, they may find a surprise. BTW, another item we were taught was that the Vikings were the first from Europeans to make it to North America. I graduated in '66 so they did not know at the time how far south they had made it. Good information.
Thank you for the video Kayleigh and I'm so glad you're recovering well.
Great that you’re doing good and recovering! Great content, as usual!
I love your stuff Kayleigh! Awesome!
Great episode! Happy you are healing from your surgery.
Yeah, no, this was definitely news to me. Very weird indeed.
Thank you for the new video. Hope you feel a lot better soon. Take good care of yourself.
I am happy to see you back!
I'm glad you're recovering, and yes, take care of yourself. Your channel is about education. Yes, sadly, I did know about both parts of this subject.
Get well soon! You look very nice in this video as well!🍀🍀🍀 I knew about the mummy stuff but had forgotten it. Your presentation was great fun!🥰👋🏻
So many pf these things sound really weird and disgusting to us now,. but in their time and place, it all made perfect sense to everyone, We must remember that we will be judged, and probably found weird, by our descendants in some future time. Thank you, Kayleigh. I'm glad that you're back. ❤❤❤❤
Ik was een paar maanden geleden in het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden en vroeg me idd af waar de rest van de mummy's gebleven zouden zijn. Weer wat geleerd vandaag :)
Glad you are on the mend.
You are the 1st that I've heard this information from. It's interesting. Thank you
I appreciate every video you have done that I have watched over the last. I don't even know how long here maybe longer. You always put something in there I have been unaware of. I pray for your health and well-being. May you be blessed with a long life
Thanks Kayleigh for another great video. I was completely unaware of these mummy facts. glad You're doing well after Your surgery and your haircut looks amazing :)
Hope you feel better soon......thank you for doing this
glad you're getting over the surgery! Also, i knew about the Mummy Brown, but didn't know about the Medical Cannibalism. Creepy but interesting things to think about.
Kayleigh, interesting video. I heard about Mummy Brown from art studies, but the eating of mummies I believe is new info. Hope you are fully healed soon, and your presentation was great be you standing or sitting.
Thanks for another interesting (albeit morbid!) video. So glad you're on the mend & doing well, Kaleigh! 💕
You're Back!!! I really enjoy your videos and have learned so much from your vast knowledge of archeology.
Thankyou Kayleigh, and I wish you a continued good recovery ❤
Great to see you even on your feet, im sorry you had to go thru that surgery but glad to see you getting better. Best Wishes
Glad to hear you are healing well.
As sicking as humans were in the past, it may lead us to appreciate our current level of consciousness.
much love to you from your fans in Detroit.
We love you. Thank you for fascinating content.
Your content is excellent! And you present it very well.
Thanks for being motivated to share information with many who may or may not get the opportunity to experience it first hand.
Never heard of this before. Thanks Kayleigh.
Wow. Mummies. I did not know this. So glad you are doing well. Looking forward to more videos.
‘In 1964, the manufacturer who made Mummy Brown reportedly ran out of mummies to grind up. ““We might have a few odd limbs lying around somewhere,” the managing director said, “but not enough to make any more paint. We sold our last complete mummy some years ago for, I think, £3. Perhaps we shouldn't have. We certainly can't get any more.”’
I always enjoy your show and I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you.
Wishing you all the very best on recovery. Don't over do it. Take care and all the best from Australia.
Mummies were burned as a recall as I recall too for heating in the 19th century
You look fine and I’m glad you’re feeling better. This is a great and informative video.
No this is new to me thanks a lot Kayleigh awesome as always !!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us. You are wonderful as you are.
My wife went through the same surgery a few years ago. I love her dearly and remember what she went through. I appreciate your effort even more. You are a joy to listen to and learn from.
Once again;
Thank you,
👏👏👏👏👏 yes ! Welcome back!
Thanks for your presentation, looking forward to more. Applause and cheering for Kayleigh.
